Jiufen Old Street is located in the area of Jishan Street, Shuqi Road, and Qingjing Road. The buildings with a strong traditional style are built along the mountain, with rows of old style residential houses, narrow streets, steep stone steps, and staggered heights. Winding and twisting, Jiufen Old Street retains the old style of life, with a strong ancient charm. Red lanterns, narrow alleys, bluestone steps, and mottled wooden buildings provide creative inspiration for numerous film and television works. The old street is also famous again for "City of Sadness" and "City of Sadness: Spirited Away". Jishan Street, also known as "Dark Street", is a bustling night market. The Jishan Guanhai Pavilion at the street corner overlooks the long sea view of the north coast of Jiufen. Shuqi Road is shaped like a phoenix and is a long stone staircase with many scenic tea houses and coffee shops. Sitting in the shop and looking out the window, you can see the beautiful coast, gold mine ruins, and Shengping Theater. There are many seaside homestays on Qingshang Road, which are a good choice for accommodation in Jiufen. There are also nostalgic murals in Jiufen Gold Mine City, where you can savor the prosperity of the small town back then. When you come to Jiufen, you must not miss the opportunity to visit Shengping Theater. At the entrance of the cinema and ticket office, there are ticket counters, movie information, six seater wooden chairs, old movie materials, posters, and projectors, as if witnessing the passage of time with one's own eyes. Jiufen Old Street's delicious snacks are overwhelming, and I recommend Grandma to come with taro balls. The shop is located at 143 Jishan Street. Sweet soup or sand ice, covered with various red beans and peanuts. Comprehensive taro balls are sweet, soft, and sticky, with a chewy and refreshing texture. Another grandma taro ball shop, passing through a narrow hall, offers a panoramic view of the sea. While enjoying the sea view, one can also enjoy handmade taro balls paired with sweet potatoes, which is very relaxing. In addition, there are also delicious dishes such as red glutinous rice balls, peanut roll ice cream, dragon protection braised food, Jiufen tofu pudding, Jiudaokou beef noodles, etc., to keep your appetite and give it a try. Old street homestays avoid the hustle and bustle of crowds, and staying overnight in Jiufen is a good choice. Many homestays are built along slopes, with deep ceilings. At night, when tourists disperse, the old street suddenly becomes quiet, with only a few lights left, as if time has frozen. Enjoying this tranquility alone is very wonderful.
