About an hour bus ride from Ximending is the mountainside town of Jieufen. It used to be an old mining town. Today, it’s a collection of old streets and tiny alleys with food and souvenir shops. I loved the weather. It was windy and cool.

Before anything else… I’m on Instagram! Follow me at bekpackr.sg. 🙂

This is part of a series of Taiwan-related posts culminating with the 2019 Pride March. I write about the hostel I stayed at (Ximen WOW Hostel), Ximen Pedestrian Street (Day and Night Version), Raohe Street Night Market, Longshan Temple, Bopiliao Historical Block, and National Taiwan Museum.

Jieufen is a lovely day trip from Taipei. I’ll share the rest in photos. 🙂
