Travel to Jiufen in the footsteps of Spirited Away, a nighttime edition

Follow the legendary anime in real life at a village in the middle of the mountains of Taiwan 📍 Jiufen is truly every Ghibli lover's dream spot. Walking in feels like you've entered Chihiro's world📍 Location: Jiufen Old Street, Taipei Take a bus from Taipei Main Station for about 1.5 hours ⏰ Recommended time: 16:30–18:30 (to catch the sunset + red lantern lights) ⸻ Previously, we came during the day, which was a completely different feeling. When I came, it was raining heavily so I couldn't soak in the atmosphere, so this time, I came at night. Let me tell you, it feels like I'm in an anime! • Zigzag stone stairs • Red lanterns hanging on both sides of the road • The smell of local snacks + the sounds of people walking around Everything is just like the scene that Chihiro walked past when she was about to enter the Bathhouse. 🎞️🍵 Highlight Don't miss this iconic landmark! The red-roofed tea shop on a high hill that was the inspiration for the anime. I recommend going up to sit and sip tea while watching the village view as the sun sets ... it's so beautiful 📸 Must-See Photo Spots • Curved Stairs + Red Lanterns • Looking Back from the Tea Shop • Small Alleyways 🎒 Tips for Travelers + Photographers • Bring a clear umbrella or raincoat because it rains all the time. It's so confusing • Wear good shoes because there's a lot of walking + lots of stairs • Come in the evening because the atmosphere is much better than during the day.
