Jiufen Old Street
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Jiufen

Jiufen Old Street

5.5
4.8/5
1.1k reviews

Jiufen Old Street is located along Jishan Street, Shuqi Road, and Qingjing Road. The traditional-style buildings are built into the mountainside, featuring rows of old houses, narrow streets, and steep stone steps with varying elevations. The winding Jiufen Old Street preserves ancient living customs with its rich nostalgic charm. Red lanterns, narrow alleys, stone steps, and weathered wooden buildings have inspired many films. The street gained renewed fame through "A City of Sadness" and its resemblance to the setting in "Spirited Away." Old Street Delicacies The snacks on Jiufen Old Street are a feast for the eyes. We recommend Apo Lai Taro Balls, located at No. 143 Jishan Street. Their sweet soup or shaved ice is topped with red beans and peanuts. The mixed taro balls are sweet, soft, and delightfully chewy. Another shop, Auntie Taro Balls, offers a narrow dining space with a clear ocean view. Enjoy handmade taro and sweet potato balls while gazing at the sea—a truly relaxing experience. Other must-try treats include red glutinous meatballs, peanut roll ice cream, Hulichang braised snacks, Jiufen tofu pudding, and Jiudaokou beef noodles, all guaranteed to whet your appetite. The Old Street homestay avoids the bustling crowds. Staying overnight in Jiufen is a great choice. Many homestays are built along the slopes, towering and far-reaching. At night, when visitors disperse, the old street suddenly quiets down, leaving only a few lights, as if time has frozen. Enjoying such tranquility alone is truly wonderful.

No. 11 of Family-friendly Attractions in Taiwan

Heping Island Park

5.1
4.8/5
279 reviews

Originally named Sheliao Island, this isle in Zhongzheng District lies northeast of Keelung Harbor. It was among the first places in northern Taiwan visited by Westerners and where Han Chinese settlers first cultivated land in Keelung. Centuries of weathering and wave erosion have sculpted remarkable geological formations along its shores - mushroom rocks, tofu rocks, and marine abrasion platforms - creating what resembles an open-air sculpture museum. Ten distinctive rock formations include: Pig Head Rock, Sphinx Rock, Seal Rock, Mudskipper Rock, Sea Hare Rock, plus five hidden gems in the secluded Alapao Bay: King Kong Rock, Pharaoh Rock, Crocodile Tears Rock, Black Kite Rock, and Leopard Rock. Mountain trail: Approx. 400m in length, this panoramic path runs along the high points of Heping Island Park, offering spectacular views of Keelung Islet, ocean scenery, and unique submarine features from Dengyu Pavilion. The wave-cut platform: This expansive coastal terrace serves as a winter seaweed harvesting ground, where groups of local village women often gather wild sea vegetables, creating a distinctive cultural landscape on the island. Liuxia Beach: With its soft, pristine sands, this beach is perfect for kids to build sandcastles and play, while also offering an ideal spot for sunbathing. Blue Lagoon: In the crystal-clear azure waters, tropical fish and swimming crabs often swim alongside visitors. Safety personnel are on duty year-round to ensure everyone's well-being. Kiss the Sea Pool: A family-friendly facility where kids can get close to marine life, with small fish swimming alongside them, offering a safe space for observing ocean creatures. Angel's Ocean Walkway: This scenic walkway appears like a path leading to the blue sea, making it a perfect photo spot and attraction. It also features a slide that kids love, which leads directly to Liuxia Beach. Ryukyu Fishermen Memorial Monument: In 1905, Ryukyu people gathered here to form a settlement, teaching Keelung's early inhabitants fishing and shipbuilding techniques. They maintained excellent relations with Heping Island residents, prompting Japan to present this monument as a symbol of their friendship. Radar Station View Restaurant: Located at the park's highest point, this former military facility has been transformed into a scenic dining venue. It features a 270-degree ocean-view outdoor plaza and elegant indoor seating, offering both breathtaking views and delicious cuisine.

Shifen Old Street is closely connected to Shifen Station. Although there are no century-old red brick buildings or well-known architectural styles, the characteristics of the old street close to the railway make it a good place for railway fans to make nostalgic pilgrimages. The sky lantern crafts on the old street The store has always been the sign here, with Hakka floral fabrics and video postcards, injecting new vitality and enthusiasm into the retro Shifen Old Street. The short 10-minute journey is worth spending a few hours savoring and experiencing it slowly. Taking pictures, treasure hunting on the railway, or buying a sky lantern to pray are all popular ways to visit Shifen Old Street.

The Haike Museum is a museum that is different from other social and educational institutions. It has a very natural mountain and sea landscape and unique buildings. The display content is even richer, especially when it is scattered among the residential houses in the community; this special geographical location of "close distance" makes the planning and operation of the Haike Museum more challenging. The exhibition themes of the Haike Museum cover marine environment, marine science, marine engineering, and marine culture. The extensive display content mainly conveys the knowledge of the ocean.

Taipei Palace Museum houses an exceptionally rich collection of artifacts and treasures that span nearly 5,000 years of China's glorious history, with over 650,000 pieces in its collection. Known as the "Treasure House of Chinese Culture," it offers visitors the chance to see its three most prized possessions: the Meat-shaped Stone, Jadeite Cabbage, and Mao-kung Ting. The lifelike forms and exquisite craftsmanship of these masterpieces are truly awe-inspiring. In addition to viewing rare treasures up close, you can also visit the park's Zhishan Garden, Zhide Garden, and the Zhang Daqian Memorial Hall.

The "Jadeite Cabbage" craftsmen skillfully utilized the natural hues of the jadeite, using the deep green tones to depict the layered cabbage leaves. Although the white portions contained cracks and impurities, the artisans ingeniously transformed them into the fresh, moisture-rich stems of the cabbage through clever arrangement. Explore classic calligraphy and painting works to uncover the mysteries of Chinese calligraphy.

Shifen Waterfall is located in Pingxi District, with a width of about 40 meters and a drop height of about 20 meters. It is a curtain waterfall. Due to the relationship between erosion and the nearby cutting terrain, there are many faults and strange rocks here, so the river flows through here to form a majestic waterfall, which is quite magnificent.

Jiufen Old Street was one of the places I really enjoyed exploring during my Taiwan trip. There's something special about this little mountain town, from its narrow winding alleys and traditional teahouses to the beautiful red lanterns hanging above the streets.I personally loved wandering around, trying different Taiwanese snacks, browsing the little souvenir shops and stopping whenever I spotted a beautiful photo opportunity. The iconic A-Mei Tea House is definitely one of the highlights, especially when the lanterns light up.One thing I would recommend is visiting in the late afternoon and staying until evening. The atmosphere becomes even more magical when the lanterns glow against the mountain backdrop.It can get quite crowded, especially along the main street, but I still think Jiufen is worth experiencing at least once. For me, it's not just about sightseeing, but enjoying the nostalgic charm of old Taiwan.

This street was so beautiful with many shops. We bought milk tea and just walked around. Although there was a lot of people, we still enjoyed it very much.

The Gold Museum - Located in Shancheng Village, Jinguashi, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, it boasts rich historical, cultural, and natural assets. It is Taiwan's first museum built on the concept of an eco-museum, prioritizing asset preservation, sustainable development, and the reuse of old buildings, combining local resources to drive regional development. A visit to Jinguashi offers not only the opportunity to appreciate its unique geological features and natural beauty, but also a profound experience of its mining history and community culture.

It was an educational place. You can learn types of fishes. But if the fish can be real one, it would be more lively and interesting!

This small and quiet village is more than enough for two hours to explore, no matter how much you love cats. So, if you're booking your Taiwan Railways ticket, aim for round-trip tickets within 2 to 2.5 hours. Training on the southbound Juguang Express, station staff will enthusiastically book your ticket and recommend a round-trip time. Simply let them know your desired time. This is undoubtedly a paradise for cats, and cat lovers alike. Perhaps seasoned and overwhelmed by people, these cats are completely unwary of outsiders and will cooperate with you whenever you ask. Furthermore, the cats at Houtong are known for their pampered appearance. Volunteers regularly visit to check their health and hygiene, and each cat is assigned a number.

The road to the waterfall is also full of nature, making for a pleasant time. The waterfall is more impressive than you can imagine, and the best part is being able to see it from various angles. It was also fantastic to see it with a rainbow!

Multiple locations available to view the wonderful waterfall. It is also extremely close to Shifen Okd Street, so it’s very easy to add this to the itinerary.
