Is JIUFEN, TAIWAN Worth It? (Day trip from TAIPEI) 🇹🇼

You simply can't come to Taiwan and not visit the most iconic village in the country. Jiufen is an absolutely stunning seaside mountain town that was once a very prosperous gold mining part of Taiwan, nowadays its known for traditional tea houses, hiking, taro balls and lots more!
In todays video we hike to the top of Mt Keelung and check out the famous lantern-lined, Jiufen Old Street, at night.
Most people come to the town for a day visit (as its only 1hr from Taipei), but is it worth an overnight trip? We say ABSOLUTELY - Jiufen is one of the prettiest places we have ever seen and a MUST visit if you're spending time in Taiwan.
We hope you enjoy the video!

Hi guys!
We're Kristy & Steve, a couple from Melbourne Australia. We created this channel to keep our friends, family and anyone we meet along the way, up to date with our journey around the world! We left our jobs, sold our possessions, rented out our apartment and bought one way tickets to start a new long-term adventure exploring different countries, discovering new cultures and learning new ways of life.
Join us on our trip - we hope you enjoy! ✈️

[@KristyandSteve]

Thank you 🙏 ❤️

I have been to the mountain city many times and it is a must go place whenever I go back to Taiwan. There is a beautiful traditional tea house in the end of the old street. It’s easily missed, but worth visiting and having specially picked tea. I think you guys will love it! Enjoy the trip in Taiwan! Greetings from London.

[@KristyandSteve]

Hello there in London! 👋 Its such a beautiful part of Taiwan isnt it, we absolutely loved our time in Jiufen! Thanks very much for watching 😍

[@zoanthropy18k]

welcome !!!

[@KristyandSteve]

Thank you ☺️

Jiu-Feng, my favourite place in Taiwan. From the video, the place seems ok. Because before pandemic, the place was packed in every single days, even on rainy Monday. It was hard to move. Can't even get a seat in the restaurants. Pretty much like weekend in Sydney Fish Market (sorry, I am a Sydneysider but born in Taiwan). Once again, please do enjoy your time in Taiwan. I hope Taiwan holiday leaves you guys with heaps of beautiful 💖 memories.

Thank you so much! I think it was a little quieter as we were there on a weekday/night, we were quite surprised actually. It definitely gets busier at night when the beautiful lanterns are turned on (everyone wants their instagram pics!) Hope Sydney is warmer than Melbourne at the moment! It was quite a shock coming back to a chilly 10 degrees 🥶

@@KristyandSteve Well come back. There's no place like home. Even though overseas is fun, but there's only one place we called home - Australia. By the way, I love cold weather. I love Melbourne just as much as Sydney. Can't get enough of that beautiful city.

[@KristyandSteve]

You are so right! Nowhere in the world beats home. I (Kristy) get very homesick so we fly back to Australia quite frequently - so worth it 🥰 Glad to hear you love Melbourne, it is a wonderful city isn't it (as is Sydney)...you have the beautiful harbour and warmer weather on your side and we undisputedly have the best coffee hehe 😜

The hike was worth the views that you got at the top and where you had the cocktails wow what a view great video ❤

[@KristyandSteve]

Absolutely Karen, the views were incredible! Thanks so much 🥰

We would have loved more time to climb Teapot Mountain. Next time 😊 Thank you for the information & for watching our vlog!

So good ❤❤⋯⋯

[@harryhsieh]

The nearby Tea Kettle Mountain is slightly more challenging but more scenic. Strongly recommend it if you still have chances to do so.

[@KristyandSteve]

We will have to come back and climb Teapot Mountain, we've heard great things about it! Thanks so much 😊

[@bankerdave888]

Chicken feet are loaded with collagen, which is great for your skin!

[@KristyandSteve]

We'd definitely try them again, these ones just weren't great (are they normally a soggy/mushy texture?) I think we got a bad batch 🤔

[@user-bo7vy5gs2w]

Hii! Just wanted to know if there are no restrictions on flying drones in Juifen?

[@KristyandSteve]

Hello 👋 There are certain restrictions and criteria to fly a drone in Taiwan. As long as you meet the criteria and follow the rules, you're all good! 😄
