Departed from Keelung, passing through long and winding roads. Finally arrived in Jiufen safely and managed to catch the glorious sunset.

▲ 透过夕阳的光可以隐隐约约看到山的层次
Layers of mountains glowing under the sunset

▲ 夕阳正撒满整个九份，还好能赶上这一刻把它记录下来
The beautiful sunset blankets the mountainous town

▲ 假日的九份，人山人海
Every corner in Jiufen is flooded with people

▲ 进入九份老街，拐个弯就可以找到传说中的芋圆汤
The first thing you must sample in Jiufen Old Street is the super tasty Taro balls

▲ 亮灯后的热闹街道，为九份填上一层复古的味道
When the lights go on, the atmosphere livens instantly

▲ 布袋戏木偶
Taiwanese glove puppets

▲ 听说夜晚的九份老街是千与千寻的灵感来源之一，

▲ 很匆忙的走玩九份老街，唯一能让我停下脚步的是以茶、陶、画结合的- 九份茶坊。除了九份茶坊外，还有一家兄弟店「天空之城」。
I am neither a tea nor a coffee person, but I am very fascinated with the extraordinary ambience in Jioufen Teahouse 

▲ 一进门，让我想起小时候在等待食物的情景。一股木炭香和冒着蒸汽的锅子，迫不及待的想要知道锅子里到底藏着什么？
Into the shop I took my first step, engulfing me with this familiar charcoal smell that reminded me of my grandma's rustic kitchen

▲ 时间有限，没办法坐着品茶。很想把眼睛看到的全部都拍下来，不听话的手还是没办法留着最美的一面。
I can't help by taking numerous photos, although they look much prettier in reality

▲ 打破传统的茶坊，品茶又怎么会是老套的玩意呢？
Having Chinese tea in such a breath-taking place is a dream-come-true!

▲ 不捨得的心情离开了茶坊，沿路走回头时看到很多神秘的巷弄。
"I will be back soon!"

▲ 时光倒流的夜，仿佛又回到了十岁
A surreal night brought me back to my childhood days

▲ 有人说，九份的白天和黑夜犹如置身在两个不同的世界。
Night and day in Jiufen belong to 2 different worlds

▲ 越夜越美丽的山城
What a nice scene to end the trip :)
