  • Shopping for Souvenirs in Jiufen

    1️⃣ Jiufen Ah Xin's Shop Ginger Tea - Mango Jelly, Lychee Jelly This jelly shop can be found by walking straight along the entrance line of Jiufen. The price is 1000 TWD for 5 pieces. Both the mango jelly and lychee jelly are not too sweet, making them a good choice for a post-meal treat. Each piece is individually wrapped, which is nice. The size is not small, and it comes with a separate spoon. 2️⃣ Misty Nougat Crackers Jiufen Branch (米詩堤甜點王國) There are two types of boxes: small and large. The large box contains 25 nougat crackers, while the small box contains 15. 3️⃣ Xing Fu Tang Jiufen Xing Fu Tang is a famous bubble tea shop in Taiwan. Fortunately, there is a Xing Fu Tang at the entrance of Jiufen, so I tried a cup. Normally, it costs 100 TWD, but in Jiufen, it's a bit cheaper at 90 TWD.

  • The magnificient Shifen Waterfall

    #waterfalls #100waysoftravel We were visiting Taipei and we took the opportunity to have a short getaway from Taipei City to Shifen area, and one of the attraction is the Shifen Waterfall Scenic area. It is the biggest and the most popular waterfall in the whole of Taiwan. The curtain waterfall has a height of 20 meters and width of 40 meters with a total space area of 800 square meters. Located around 30 minutes walking from the Shifen old town, many people will visit this waterfall after visiting the old town or before. Visitors usually will walk through the Diguantan suspension bridge before reaching the waterfall. There is also a rest area selling local snacks and fruits nearby.

  • Authentic Jiufen Old Street Market in Taipei, Taiwan 🌟

    #markets 📍Jiufen Old Street Market, New Taipei City, Taiwan Taiwan is renowned for its scrumptious local street food. I went to one of the famous street market in Taipei which is Jiufen Old Street Market. It is a small village in the mountains located one hour away drive from Taipei. There is a lot of delicious local food there. One of local I tried is Peanut Ice Cream Roll as in the last picture. By the looks it might be tempting, and once you are getting a bite, the taste is heavenly tasty, yum! 🤤 You can also try its delicious chicken and sea food crispy snack during your exploration along the street. You can do anything you want here, not just only eating local food, but you may also walk along the Jiufen Old Street, do some shopping at the souvenir store. Just go with the flow and you will find its attractiveness. You can also visit the famous A-Mei lantern tea house and chill out for a while with a cup of tea. My personal opinion, Jiufen is worth a visit for you to vibing with Taiwanese traditional vibes. #100WaysOfTravel #taipei #taiwan #jiufen #jiufenoldstreet
