Nestled on the hillside of Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Jiufen Old Street is a nostalgic mountain town built of stone steps, red lanterns, and the aroma of tea. Along its narrow alleys, old buildings from the Japanese colonial era stand shoulder to shoulder. The red lanterns of A-Mei Tea House sway in the mist, seemingly recreating the mystical scenes of Spirited Away.

This town is a living fossil of Taiwan's mining culture. Along Jishan Street, the sweet scents of taro balls and herbal rice cakes linger in the air, while Shengping Theater still screens classic old movies. Step into a teahouse to savor Wensan Baozhong tea, and gaze out through the carved window frames at Keelung Islet and the Yin-Yang Sea—Jiufen becomes even more poetic at dusk. Whether you are searching for movie locations, tasting traditional nostalgic snacks, or simply embracing the slow-paced life of the mountains, this gold mining town frozen in time always evokes a deep sense of nostalgia.
