Some people say that Jiufen became popular because of the movie "A City of Sadness," but that might be because they haven't truly experienced the beauty of Jiufen. Jiufen not only preserves the old buildings from the Japanese colonial era, but more importantly, it has the atmosphere of a mountain city. Although the old street is always full of people, only in Jiufen can you enjoy the unique pleasure of exploring scenic paths. When you come here, it seems you must try a bowl of taro balls. In fact, there are many other nostalgic snacks here. In the three streets of Jishan Street, Shuqi Road, and Light Railway Road, you can experience a real-life story house. Here, you can explore the fascinating stories of Jiufen, while shopping and eating, and walking while eating. If you have more time, you can go to the Golden Museum to take a walk and catch a glimpse of the past prosperity of gold mining. The movie "A City of Sadness," which participated in the Venice Film Festival and won the "Golden Lion" award, is regarded as a classic in Taiwanese films. Jiufen became famous worldwide because of this movie and is now one of the popular international tourist destinations in Taiwan. Suspended on the hillside, the mountain city of Jiufen is famous for its bird's-eye view of the rugged mountains and sea of Jilong, as well as its beautiful scenery shrouded in mist and rain. Jiufen's old street is Jishan Street, which used to be called "Anjiezi," and it was the main street of Jiufen, lined with many shops. On weekends, it is crowded with tourists.
