We arrived back in Taipei late last night and today went on a day trip to a place called Jiufen.
This is a little down about an hours train and bus ride from Taipei, set in the mountains and overlooking the coast.
As you can see it offers great views of the coast. This town used to be a gold mining town but became deserted when the gold ran out. After a while the locals and tourists starting coming as its a pretty nice place.
There are lots of old street lined with great food to walk down. My friend advised me before I came here not to go to the town at weekends as it greats busy. As we were running out of time we had to go at the weekend and as you can see from the pictures below it was very busy!
Still an great place to see and a lovely day trip. Tomorrow is our last day in Taipei before flying home in the early hours. We still have some more fund stuff planned through.
