New Taipei City Travel

The “Juming Museum” located at Jinshan district of New Taipei City is an outdoor museum occupying a grand expanse with many giant sculptures. One can’t get enough photos in a day with its superb art creation and natural sceneries; one can also enjoy the “candle stick rocks” known as the “couple’s rock” along with the lush green forest walkway of the “Lion Head Mountain hiking trail”. At the three centuries old “Jinshan Old Street”, there are the local delicacies and feature souvenirs (such as the duck, sesame rice crispy, yam and taro, etc); and at the “Yehlio GeoPark”, there is the famous “Queen’s Head Rock”, a picture with her is a must for the tourist while appreciating the rock formations most similar to that of Mars on this planet. Nearby Guihou Fishing Harbor allows you to savor the delectable “Steamed Wanli Crab”. Finally, move on to the hot spring hotels in Jinshan or Wanli and enjoy the precious “Ocean Hot Spring”, fulfilling a double enjoyment of the ocean view and hot spring baths.

Some people say that Jiufen became popular because of the movie “A City of Sadness”, but that is just what they might think because they have not experienced the wonder of Jiufen itself. Jiufen has not only preserved the old-style buildings from the Japanese Ruling Era, but most importantly it has the atmosphere of mountain city. Although the old street of today is always packed with crowds, but it is only in Jiufen that one may enjoy the fun of unique trails leading to the tranquil sceneries. One must have a bowl of taro tapioca balls when visiting here, but there are actually many other nostalgic snack food options here, forming a real-life story house with the three streets including Jinshan Street, Shuci Road and Cingbian Road, one may explore the splendid stories of Jiufen here, and may also enjoy delicacies while strolling around. If you have the time, take a trip to the Gold Museum, and you may further have a glimpse of the glorious gold refining days of the past.
