Perched on a mountainside with stunning views of the ocean, its narrow, lantern-lit alleys are packed with charming teahouses, local street food, and unique shops selling handmade crafts. It’s no wonder Jiufen inspired the setting for Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away!When I visited, I couldn’t get enough of the taro balls and the aromatic peanut ice cream rolls—an absolute must-try! The tea houses, especially at sunset, offer the perfect spot to soak in the ambiance and breathtaking scenery.Pro tip: Visit in the late afternoon to enjoy both the daytime buzz and the enchanting glow of lanterns at night. Wear comfortable shoes, as the streets are steep and cobblestoned. It’s an experience you’ll remember forever!
Shifen Old Street
