Jiufen Old Street 九份老街
九份老街
九份老街出名的原因有兩個，都是因為電影的緣故，最早是因爲台灣一部電影「悲情城市」而聞名，其次是日本動畫大師宮崎駿的動畫「神隱少女」讓九份老街更有知名度，據說動畫大師宮崎駿，以九份老的的「阿妹茶樓」構出神隱少女的經典場景，讓許多外籍旅客必訪「九份老街」的原因之一。
老街上有許多商店，販售各式各樣的伴手禮，有傳統小吃也有西式甜點，九份最具特色的就是「芋圓」了，芋圓店有兩家「賴阿婆芋圓」及「阿柑姨芋圓」是許多觀光客必吃的兩間店。「賴阿婆芋圓」就在九份老街上，「阿柑姨芋圓」在九份老街樓梯走道旁，距離知名的「阿妹茶樓」不遠。
九份還有一個必訪景點就是「昇平戲院」，「昇平戲院」曾經是北台灣最大電影院，因九份人口外流嚴重，就在1986年時暫停營業，戲院內可以看到50年代時戲院樣貌，會讓你彷彿穿越時空回到了50年代的台灣，也是必訪此戲院的原因之一。
九份老街尾端有許多景觀咖啡廳，可以眺望遠處山海景，如果時間不趕，其實可以到咖啡廳坐坐，吃個午餐喝個咖啡，享受一下悠閒的時光。
Jiufen Old Street
There are two reasons why Jiufen Old Street is famous. The first reason is due to a Taiwanese movie called “A City of Sadness,” while the second reason is because of the Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki’s film “Spirited Away.” It is said that Miyazaki used the classic scene of the “A-Mei Tea House” in Jiufen Old Street to create a memorable scene in his film, making it one of the reasons why many foreign tourists visit Jiufen Old Street.
There are many shops selling various souvenirs, traditional snacks, and western desserts on the old street. Jiufen’s most distinctive specialty is “yuyuan,” and two stores, “Lai Ah-Po Yuyuan” and “Ah Gan Yi Yuyuan,” are must-visit places for many tourists. “Lai Ah-Po Yuyuan” is located on Jiufen Old Street, while “Ah Gan Yi Yuyuan” is located next to the stairs of the old street, not far from the famous “A-Mei Tea House.”
Another must-visit attraction in Jiufen is the “Shengping Theater.” It used to be the largest cinema in northern Taiwan, but due to serious population outflows in Jiufen, it suspended operations in 1986. Inside the theater, you can see the appearance of the cinema in the 1950s, which will make you feel as if you have traveled back in time to Taiwan in the 1950s.
At the end of Jiufen Old Street, there are many scenic cafes where you can enjoy distant mountain and sea views. If time permits, you can sit in a cafe, have lunch, drink coffee, and enjoy some leisurely time.
