Create an itinerary including Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street)

Stroll through mysterious Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street) lined with rows of red lanterns hanging in front of quaint Chinese teahouses and inns. The narrow cobblestone street has changed little since the gold rush era of the town. Its traditional architecture, hilly surroundings, and misty weather evoke the atmosphere of the Academy-awarded anime "Spirited Away," attracting flocks of Japanese tourists and Ghibli fans. Eat your way through numerous food stalls packed with yummy traditional treats. Keep off the stairs at dusk when lanterns start to light up, or you will be trapped in the crowd of tourists trying to capture this scenic moment with cameras. Arrange to visit Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street) and other attractions in New Taipei using our New Taipei road trip planning site.

There are a lot of ups and downs in this mostly covered street. You will certainly get fit. There are few directions and without a map, the best idea is to retrace your steps when you reach the...

A small town located on the sides of the hill with an old street that is full of local delicacies. Recommended to stay there over the night at the B and B there as the night view is very vastly different from the day view and is worth a visit. Also would advise to check the weather before you visit so that you can prepare your attire appropriately.

It is a small hill town with gold mine history painted on it. It is one of the popular stops for a weekend to hang out with your friends and enjoy shopping, the cafeteria, street foods, clothes, footwear, and lots more. Spirited away movie is inspired by this town. It is well connected to public transportation from Taipei and Songshan. It has a public and private parking area.
