Jiufen Old Street is situated in the area of Jishan Street, Shunqi Road, and Qingjing Road, featuring buildings with rich traditional styles that are built along the mountainside. The old residences are closely packed, with narrow alleys, steep stone steps, and varying levels. The winding Jiufen Old Street preserves the lifestyle of the past, with a strong ancient charm. Red lanterns, narrow lanes, bluestone steps, and mottled wooden buildings have inspired many film and television productions, and the old street has gained renewed fame due to ‘A City of Sadness’ and ‘A City of Sadness: Spirited Away’. Jishan Street, also known as ‘Dark Street’, is a bustling night market. At the entrance of the street, the Jishan Sea-view Pavilion offers a panoramic view of the long coastline of Jiufen’s northern coast. Shunqi Road, shaped like a ‘phoenix’, is a long stone staircase with many teahouses and coffee shops offering scenic views. Sitting in these establishments, one can admire the beautiful coastline, gold mine sites, and Shengping Theater. There are numerous sea-view guesthouses on Qingshang Road, making it an excellent choice for accommodation in Jiufen, along with nostalgic murals of the Jiufen Gold Mine City that allow one to savor the prosperity of the town in the past. When visiting Jiufen, a visit to the Shengping Theater is a must. The theater’s entrance, ticket office, viewing information, wooden chairs for six, old movie materials, posters, and projectors all seem to make time stand still. The street food in Jiufen Old Street is overwhelming, with a recommendation for Grandma’s Taro Balls located at 143 Jishan Street. Sweet soups or shaved ice are topped with various red beans and peanuts. The comprehensive taro balls are sweet, soft, and chewy, with a delightful bounce. Another Grandma’s Taro Balls shop, after passing through a narrow shop hall, offers a panoramic view of the sea. Enjoying handmade taro balls with sweet potatoes while watching the sea is very pleasant. In addition, there are delicacies such as red rice balls, peanut roll ice cream, Hulun roasted flavors, Jiufen tofu pudding, and Jiudaokou beef noodles that will captivate your taste buds, so be sure to try them. Old street guesthouses, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, make staying overnight in Jiufen a good choice. Many guesthouses are built along the slopes, with deep layers, and at night, when the tourists disperse, the old street becomes quiet, with only a few lights remaining, as if time has frozen. Enjoying this tranquility alone is very pleasant. Open all year round from 10:00 to 20:00. Tips: During holidays, it is easy to get stuck in traffic, and there are many tourists, so it is advisable to start early. Many shops close around 8 pm.
