In their own words: “Next is Jiufen. This former gold mining town is iconic for its narrow lantern lit alleys and its striking resemblance to the studio Ghibli film Spirited Away. Although it can get very crowded, it is totally worth the visit. The main street is packed with shops selling unique souvenirs and incredible street food. You have to try the peanut ice cream roll and the famous taro balls dessert. And if you have the chance, relax at the traditional tea house and take in this epic view of the coastline.”
Stroll through the narrow, lantern-lined alleys, sample local street food, and browse unique artisan crafts and souvenirs.
In their own words: “If you're looking to venture outside the city, these spots are highly recommended for a day trip.”
