Jiufen Old Street

A former gold-mining town on a steep hillside above the sea north-east of Taipei, with narrow alleys of teahouses, red lanterns and food stalls, said to resemble the town in Spirited Away. Try taro balls and enjoy tea with a sea view at sunset.
It's crowded at weekends. Nearby Jinguashi has a gold museum, and Shifen, on the Pingxi railway, is famous for its waterfall and sky lanterns released from the tracks.
