- Jiufen PART 2 - Night Time
Jiufens red lanterns light up at night. Come explore Jiufen's past with us.
Jiufen is a Top 10 MUST VISIT tourist destination for Taiwan.
Today Jiufen is known for many foods such as Taro balls, popular traditional tea houses and Taiwanese snacks. The town is dotted with B&B's and boutique hotels and endless side alley stair cases that lead up and down to winding paths. The Lao Jie (old street) is filled with endless shops for souvenir shopping, restaurants, cafes, tea houses and Taiwanese snacks that you might find at night markets. We'll show you Jiufen through a walking eating tour.
Many say Jiufen resembles the town in Japanese anime movie Spirited Away by Studio Ghibli. Jiufen was a gold mining town founded by the Japanese in 1893. It became popular as a tourist destination in the late 1990s especially with Japanese tourists. The town takes on a magical or haunted appearance at night with the red lanterns glowing on rainy nights. It can easily feel like a haunted town somewhere to explore for ghost hunters.
Located 45 mins drive east of Taipei. Taking public transportation here is much longer and will take over 2 hrs from Taipei.
At night Jiufen comes alive and the red lanterns light up the alleys and tea houses. One can view Keelung harbor from town.
During World War II, a POW camp named was set up in the village, British soldiers captured in Singapore were held here and worked in the nearby gold mines. Jiufen is a reflection of the Japanese colonization era. Japanese B&B's survive to this day. Often also spelled Jioufen as well. Check out our other night market videos.

I'm a Taiwanese American that grew up in Southern California and have moved back to Taiwan to Taipei in 2012. Join me and my wife as we explore Taiwan's night markets, popular and hidden destinations.
We'll explore Taiwan's Night Markets, street foods and travel scene. Along with the popular places in Taiwan, over time we'll go in depth to many places other youtubers never visit since we know most of the local and hidden spots and are able to explore smaller towns and far away villages that need a car to reach. Taiwan is a magical island with tens of thousands of temples, shrines, amazing food, endless 7-11s and boba shops and vending machines.
I'll give you my perspective having lived in both countries for many years.
私も一度✈九ｲ分に行きました❗階段を沢山登ったけど色々なお店がいっぱいで見ているだけで😃💕楽しかったし綺麗な色のお餅と豆の冷たいスイーツ😃とても美味しかったです。ツアーで昼間に行ったので次は夜に行ってみたいです。📹👍いつも素敵な映像を届けてくれてありがとう。私も一緒に歩いているみたいで、楽しんでいます。😄🗾早く自由に旅行が出来ると良いな🙋
😃はい、それは夜の全く異なる経験です。また、最後のシーンでは、道は赤い提灯がたくさんある別の丘の中腹のレストランに続き、トンネルに行きます。私たちはそこまで探検しませんでした。私はあなたが夜に再び訪れることができることを願っています:) 😃
Nice video :) Thanks for sharing!
Another amazing video thanks!
10 outta 10, would eat!
Thanks for commenting! Yes it was delicious
I have been to Jiufen many times and as a fellow Taiwan CZcamsr and a new subscriber. Your video capture the essence of Juifen so beautifully. Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to more adventures on your channel.
Reminds me of my trip to Jiufen years ago
thank you so much as your video is so detailed that it captures so many stalls with review that i really appreciate it!! i'm planning to bring my Mom to Taiwan this dec and it will include taipei, shifen jiufen & cingjing.. btw ur video abt jiufen made me really hungry 😂
Thanks for watching! Enjoy TW
Thanks 4 the tour, it’s sad seeing it this empty of foreign tourists for city dependent on tourism to survive. I hope our family will be able to revisit next summer again, until then stay safe and healthy to all.
Yes, I'm glad they still had business despite the lack of foreign tourists. I hope Taiwan can open soon, most people are vaccinated now, I finally was able to get my 2nd vaccine as I'm one of the last groups
@@BobaLifeTaiwan glad Taiwan doesn’t have the anti vaccine problem we have in North America. Except the world needs to be vaccinated to stop the new variants. If we can get it to be an endemic instead of pandemic, it will help with recovery. Have a great holiday season.
@@frankyu4967 Yes, most people were glad to get them. Most vaccines were donated from US and Japan. Thank you have a great holiday too.
I enjoyed the selection of places to visit. In a future video, you should show Jiufen during the summer because it will be a different experience. Rainy season in Jiufen makes it feel very cold so the food you eat will differ.
Sure we can do a follow up of Jiufen in the future :)
So the whole place is actually a graveyard, or the surroundings of a cemetery. Even a B&B in the center is no use because of the (negative) energy of the whole place. The prices are high because it's touristy. A lot of people just walk by the shops without buying.
It's common in Taiwan to have graves on hilltops or mountains.
😍
Did you spend the night at a hotel?
We stayed at a B&B called Wensing house. Don't recommend that place though, although the lady was very nice and helpful our room's air smelled like mildew, and it had a water pump running all night which is noisy. It's also right below the graves.
Where would you recommend instead ?
Nice ❤👍
Thanks!
Hi, how or where did you book for the tea making workshop?
Hello, We booked the A-Mei Teahouse here. www.a-meiteahouse.com. You will need reservations as it's popular
What is the name of that restaurant?
Hi the restaurant we ate for dinner is 芋仔蕃薯
Hi, what is the name of the first 2 places, is it considered vegetarian??
Teahouse is a tourist trap ..pass on it folks
