New Taipei City Travel

The former residence of Weng Shan-Ying is currently used as Jiufen Teahouse, and majority of the original spatial layout has been preserved. The building structure itself is made of stone mixed with wood, which appears aesthetically unsophisticated. The front is of one storey which enters into a two-storey area in the back, with the indoor space maintaining its original looks, the space is filled with changes while preserving the traditional architectural spatial layout. For the renovated area, many ingenious ideas can be seen in its spatial applications, where besides preserving the original characteristics, the flexibility demonstrated by the building itself is also increased, allowing this residence with close to a century of history still able to demonstrate its unique style.

Situated between Jingtong Station and Pingxi Station of the Pingxi Branch Line, Mt. Xiaozi is not as tall as the other mountains, but its steep stone steps are not negligible. The most adventurous route when climbing Mt. Xiaoxi is the last way to the summit on the suspended steel ladder. Once successfully climbing up this near-vertical rock walls, tourists can take a bird's-eye view over the entire Keelung River Valley. Due to its being surrounded by mountains, there are about 20 hilltops in the neighborhood, that's why it won its name as Mt. Twenty-Four Filial; and because its mountain shape is very similar to China's Mt. Huangshan, so Mt. Xiaozi is also nicknamed as the "Small Huangshan."
