Jiufen township

Taipei - From Banciao railway station we took the communter train to Ruifang station.  From outside Ruifang station take the bus to Juifen - NT15 per person.

Jiufen is famous because of its quaint streets, tea houses and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.  Also many movies were made using Jiufen as the backdrop.  Jiufen is an old hillside town of long narrow alleys, winding stone steps, and restaurants.
