Jiufen (九份)


In Taipei In A Day Includes: Taiwan From A To Z explore the accommodations, attractions, eats, history and unique trinkets rife in Taipei County’s Jiufen (九份), located high above the northern Taiwan port city of Keelung.

Although the name of the restaurant/hotel (bed & breakfast) “Chiu Chunt Dint” may sound funny, the outstanding food, exemplary service and somewhat small yet cozy accommodations are not. Prices for meals are reasonable, ranging from NT $250 (approximately US $7.50) to $550 (US $16.50) for an entree, soup and a beverage. (My suggestion: try the curry chicken with hearty vegetables and cheese for NT $300.)
The hotel is currently running a special, NT $880 (approximately US $26.40) per person for an overnight stay plus two meals, a very reasonable price for a comfortable overnight visit. For those who’d prefer not to trek back into Taipei or beyond after a sojourn to Jiufen consider staying at Chiu Chunt Dint. Or, stop in for a meal, your tastebuds shouldn't be disappointed.







Looks bizarre? Try it!





Ice cream and imported German beer, what was this vendor thinking? It's the perfect combination... for diarrhea!


An enterprising Jiufen stall owner attracts customers dressed as a human sunflower!
