New Taipei City Travel

The Jiufen mountain village was built along the natural contours of the mountains. Strolling through its alleys adorned with big red lanterns will allow you to uncover stories in every corner. Tasting chewy taro balls and local delicacies, as well as visiting tea houses to enjoy the seascape's beauty while savoring tea, are classic ways to experience the charm of Jiufen. Walking up to Jiufen's highest point – the Kaicheng Temple, which enshrines the Jade Emperor – along its wandering streets, you can offer prayers and blessings. Jiufen Kaicheng Temple is also known as Jiufen Tiangong Temple. On the platform in front of the Temple, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Jiufen, as well as the distant mountains and sea, including Keelung Mountain (Mt. Keelung), Provincial Highway No. 2, Shenao Fishing Port, and Keelung Islet. The sunset views are always breathtaking.
