Taiwan's "Spirited Away" Town: Is it actually worth visiting?🏮✨Jiufen Old Street

One of the most famous and easy day trips out of Taipei is Jiufen Old Street. Mistakenly claimed to be an inspiration to the famous Miyazaki film "Spirited Away" Jiufen is a charming hillside town with lots to eat like homemade taro balls & amazing mountain view tea houses. But, it is all it's cracked up to be?

你去過九份嗎？ 如果是，您認為值得參觀嗎？🏮🏮Have you been to Jiufen? If yes, did you think it was worth it to visit?

[@jackyveryfast]

晚上去更美喔！

[@kidawu4062]

晚上光影夢幻的九份老街 是最令人難忘的！！

[@Kanxieryi]

I went to Jiufeng to feel the age of the town, smell the history. For the reason of looking for another better night market, Keelung's Miaokou Night Marke maybe the better choice.

[@user-qb8kf9zu9w]

霧裡的九份更美 真正的山城

[@Living321ani]

I think walking around that place in the rain would be so calming and beautiful, especially off that balcony.

[@KaylaCosmos]

Hahaha it is quite peaceful but not as fun when you have a $700 USD camera you need to film with but can't get wet 😭

[@vincentjallet1449]

I went there yesterday. It was soooooo crowded, especially during night time, that I couldn’t really enjoy the experience. What I enjoyed the most was visiting the small streets with no one, and going to the top of the mountain nearby ! It’s still a nice day trip, but the amount of tourists makes it terrible……

[@richman6463]

Thanks for sharing! I like it!

[@twgo2012]

去到九份，其實很建議好好的享受她的"天氣"~~~ 有機會要試試煙雨濛濛的九份，跟夜半昏黃的路燈~~~ 一輩子忘不了的美景!!!

[@D--man]

I love Jiufen. It's such a beautiful town, beautiful scenery.

[@KaylaCosmos]

Nice! I loved the views but it's too popular for me

[@AIRJASON2002]

九份去了快十次 最近的一次是兩個月前 幾乎每次去都會去阿柑姨，吃著芋圓 看著遠方的海景（不過只有這次沒去，因為大家報復性出遊 太多人在排隊了） 再開車往山上走10來分鐘，到達不厭亭 這裡的景色也是超美的，不過這裡就只是一個大觀景台，沒有什麼攤販、住家

[@harrychou8874]

climb the tea pot mountain is one thing you can try in here.

[@jackyveryfast]

好久沒去了，懷念芋圓

[@wowho0801]

我小時後(20年前)第一次到九份玩，吃了芋圓，從此愛上九份 去了九份無數次，遇過大雨、大太陽、起霧，還有日出、夕陽、一般的夜景跟霧茫茫的夜景，每一種的九份都有自己獨特的魅力！！

[@gamelife0857]

早年九份居民多以採樟樹煮樟腦為業，有90口腦（樟腦）灶，10口灶為一份，共有九份。 這是歷史文獻裡可以查尋的到 而 日本動漫電影 神隱少女 的那個場景 真的是美麗的誤會 九份老街, 除了芋圓地瓜圓, 還有草仔粿( 有甜的餡, 有鹹的餡 ), 外粿皮是 糯米 + 燙煮過打成汁的艾草, 是客家的特色 " 粄 " 離開九份, 往北面, 去藍色公路深澳碼頭周邊, 大啖海鮮, 或前往 瑞芳, 吃吃瑞芳美食, 它可是很少國外遊客去探索的地方 瑞芳、侯硐、三貂嶺、大華、十分、望古、嶺腳、平溪、菁桐、九份 除了, 侯硐, 平溪, 九份, 其它地方, 根本是沒什麼見過國外遊客去探索

[@HardQoo]

九份附近可以玩的地方還不少，可以安排一日或兩日遊。例如： 九份的山頂（不厭亭）。冬季常常有機會遇到雲瀑。帶著水氣的雲會從海岸左邊的山谷越過涼亭高點後往右側山谷裡去。 九份旁的茶壺山。有著更遼闊的無敵海景。 九份的山腳下海邊沿岸。有陰陽海.有象鼻岩.酋長岩.蝙蝠洞.黃金瀑布....等等。

[@peanutworkshophuang5276]

九份老街已經變成台灣到處可見的夜市。沒有人的九份最美，建議秋雨天的晨昏時刻去，特別有寂寥的味道。隔壁金瓜石或水湳洞，蕭條的礦業，單純的民居，才是金礦枯竭後九份的狀態。

[@mochiness]

Had the opportunity to go in 2019- we got lost and it rained: it was still a one of a kind stop filled with many good memories! I hope to visit again, but see more of the historical aspects like how the place used to be home of a mining village. Great video, cheers from California!

[@Justin_Leah]

How lovely to have that quiet balcony and somber view as you enjoyed the tea. What's the green stuff on the ice cream roll?

[@bettyli6635]

I believe it is traditionally cilantro.

[@Javy_Valen_Tain]

Hey Kayla you really made me remind of Jiufen when I was there in 2019 before pandemic

[@zeanmore]

九份的景色 好天氣有好天氣的景色 煙雨濛濛 下大雨又是另一番滋味 白天夜晚掌燈之後又是不同的風景

[@chuckhuang4359]

Wow, that was a pretty neat and easy transportation by anyone who wants to go to Jiufen. I guess by eating these various snacks, it would be easier to feel full than a regular meal.

[@KaylaCosmos]

Yes the transportation is so easy! If I go again I gotta try more of the food!

[@MrEmaile0004]

Happy new year 2022🎆🎆🎆

[@panpeter1830]

祝妳新年快樂

[@freyafoxmusic]

i just went for the third time!

[@gn01184186]

晴天時再去一趟，妳會有不同感受～

[@harrychou8874]

go hiking to tea kettle mountain is one thing u can try.

[@xxoo6303]

👍👍👍

[@ambarvalia9757]

merry new year kayla your fellow american comrades must be rejoicing your youtube success in the republic of China

[@shanechen4806]

Jiufen is kind of commercialized. It’s just a bust. Luckily, you didn’t go there in the evening on weekend. It’s so crowed that you barely move.

[@KaylaCosmos]

I'm glad I went when I did! Oh I cannot imagine if there were tons of people 🥶

[@craigwang9183]

Hey, Kayla, do you know Taiwan is pretty famous about contact lense production? This makes the price of contact lense is cheap, optical stores are as many as convenient stores, humongous styles for you to choose. Would you like to study it and make the topic an episode?

[@1970smallbo]

😁👍

[@martinhelmut3776]

I dont know why ,but I like your videos of places I know myself very well.....hope its not the delicious food haha

[@user-wx3cd5gf7j]

👍👏🎉

[@user-hi2de8ls2o]

爬山，金瓜石

😎❤️🇹🇼‼️

[@swj3333]

弄錯時間~ 九份ㄉ夜景才是王道

[@uservip666]

茶具…泡茶… 換桌率行嗎？

[@user-ek8pn1on3v]

據說九份地底下還藏有大量黃金沒有挖出來喔~~~因為有錢人都去生產晶圓片比黃金值錢~

[@zeanmore]

因為礦藏不夠集中 開採不敷成本啦

[@user-hi2de8ls2o]

[@bioches]

Lol thought spirited away was inspired by Japanese towns. Interesting!

[@KaylaCosmos]

I think it is -- it's only a myth Jiufen inspired it haha. But they built a whole economy around it haha

[@dellaamelia3373]

Please put some music background🙏

[@KaylaCosmos]

Are you asking for my current videos? Because this video is loaded with music haha.

[@dellaamelia3373]

「神隱少女取材自九份」純粹只是謠言

[@user-fj4zd7kk6x]

因為工作的關係 1個禮拜 必須到九份 4次,, 很深刻的體會到 九份的建築,,,,,,,,,, 有夠爛, 爛到爆, 毫無規劃 雜亂無章,, 🥴🙄👎 不過往下看 濱海 風景 倒是不錯的,
