Jiufen

A series of stores and restaurants running along Jishan and Shuqi Streets, which are built into the side of the coastal hills. The area is known for its collection of shops, eateries, and teahouses, allowing visitors to sample local specialties and purchase handicrafts and other knick-knacks. The area also provides spectacular views of the harbors and the Pacific Ocean below. The most popular entrance is near the bus station, next to a 7-Eleven shop and the public toilets.

This historic building just below Shuqi steps at the bus parking lot. Yen Yun-nian (1882-1923), a Jiufen merchant, got the business authority from Japanese "Itoda Gumi" during the Japanese era. The company was established in 1948 by his brother, quarrying gold since 1914 till 1971. The Bafan Tunnel mine entrance remains inside the office, but not open to visitors.

A small memorial park west of the town. There are monuments to praise the great achievement of Yen Yun-nian who founded Jiufen's mining culture. Creative artistic sculptures can easily be seen in the park. Also the early Mining Tunnel can also be found next to the park.

Next to the park, this tunnel has been excavated in 1927. The coal transported out from the tunnel was smashed in the mine-smashing area and carried by high altitude transporting pipe. There is a light railway passing through the tunnel, which was run by a Japanese company and then contracted by Jiouda Co. when the Japanese left Taiwan in 1945. In 1971, in order to protect the security of the residents and visitors, all mine tunnels were sealed. There is a small community park for people to rest and enjoy the ocean view.

A museum all about ghosts and the undead. Contains lots of horror props, including numerous life sized monster sculptures.

The original theatre on this site was constructed in 1916, and the current building was completed in 1961. The theatre has frequent showings of films, traditional opera performances, among others.

The elevation of mountain is 588 m, which is Jiufen and Jinguashi’s dividing line. On the peak, people can overlook the whole Neihu district, Taipei City, Keelung and northeast coast seascape. Seen from Jinguashi or Fushan Temple, the mountain shape looks like a pregnant woman lying on the land, with her hair spread on the East Sea. Therefore, it is known as Big-Belly Beauty Mountain. There is a mountain trail and the entrance is right across from the parking lot. You can climb the peak in about 40 minutes.

Along Line 102 to Shuangxi Highway to the highest point of Mt.Jilong, you can see the Xiaojingua Peak on the hilltop. It opens the first page of Jiufen gold digging history.
