Location: Sightseeing Tour
Stepping into Jiufen’s most bustling Jishan Street, you’ll find countless shops and restaurants overflowing with rich, fragrant smells. The diverse array of handicraft stalls and old-style grocery stores, bed and breakfast guesthouses and teahouses are filled with an air of nostalgia in the festive atmosphere.
The next spot to visit is Shuqi Road where the entire street is made up of various flights of stone stairs that ascended directly upwards. The slightly rugged trail is a path that must be taken if you come to Jiufen or else your visit would not have count.
After tea tasting, a 10-minute walk will bring you to JiufenElementary School. Surrounded by bed and breakfast inns, the quaint and exquisite elementary school has an excellent scenic spot. Standing atop the podium of the field lends a perfect view of Keelung Islet, so perfect, that it seems as if it is right in front of your eyes. The deep blue sea reflected by the light blue sky and puffy white clouds is so mesmerizing that one almost forgets that he/she is actually inside a school.
During the golden era of the mountain city, Shengping Theater can be the representative of the luxurious and opulent lifestyle of Jiufen. The theater’s interior was decorated to imitate the style of Baroque architecture and houses over 600 seats. There is even a private room area on the second floor. It’s been allegedly said that the facilities were extremely advanced with a stage that could ascend/descend and spin. It was a one of a kind in those days. Many movies such as “A Borrowed Life”, “City of Sadness” or “Blue Mountain Coffee” have used the theater as a backdrop for their movies and were able to capture numerous classic images. After extensive repair in 2011, the theater’s former elegance and glamour has been reproduced. Aside from periodical showing of old movies, the theater also holds a variety of special exhibits and art seminars on a frequent basis.
When you walk from Shuchi Road and almost reaching the main road, you will find a small plaza displayed with stone tables and chairs. Behind the plaza is a high-rising one storey, two-floor Japanese architecture that has been well preserved. This is the locally famous “Peng Garden.”
Finally, follow Chicher Road and walk for 15 minutes before reaching Jiufen Museum of Gold Mine. A provincial exhibition center operated by former local miners exhibits Jiufen’s mining history, alchemical equipment and dozens of raw mineral stones, all of which have been collected across three decades by the curator with a mining background. Aside from mineral stones, the center also displays an array of old pictures that evoke fond memories of the past.
