On the 3rd day in Taiwan, we went to Jiufen (9 parts). This is a small town about 20mins train ride from Taipei city. Until the 1950s, Jiufen was a gold mining town. We had lunch at the tea-house and had a good view of the Pacific Ocean. Sorry peeps, we were so hungry after climbing fleet of staircases and we gobbled up the food before I can take any pictures of the food to share =P
