The Beautiful City of Jiufen

Jiufen
Whenever I go to Taiwan, my family and I visit Jiufen. Its the most beautiful coastal town I have ever had the pleasure of seeing.

Jiufen is a small town in the Northeast hills of Taiwan. It  has beautiful views of the pacific ocean and lush green scenery.

Jiufen was once a prosperous gold mining town, but was soon forgotten after the decline of gold mining. Jiufen remained as an anonymous small town until several movies used the location.

Jiufen is now a prosperous tourist attraction. Attracting foreigners and natives a like. There are quaint streets and small shops that line the streets and venders around each bend.

Jiufen is a rare and unique town, that embodies and embraces the old culture and the modern conveniences.
