A mountain town in northern Taiwan ·Jiuchi(Zhoufen) became a popular sightseeing spot for Japanese travelers, gaining a lot of attention by keeping the nostalgic scenery where the townscape of the Japanese occupation era was left and becoming the location of the movie "Sadness City" It was. However, the distance from the ninth to the northeast is also the same place where the atmosphere of the Japanese occupation era was left "Golden stone"District, which is not as major as Chiufen, is a spot full of highlights where you can feel the reverberation of the Japanese rule era.
Arrived at Tadayasu Reconstruction Station No.1 exit of Taiwan MRT (subway). To Kimchuk stone / nine faces we can see the bus of Keelung bus from here.

Chaos state when returning to the bus terminal. Because buses get in from Ruiya station of Taipei and Chiufen etc, it gets crowded.

You can also enjoy Chiufen which is one of the most popular spots in Taiwan.
Just 10 minutes by bus from the popular spot of Taiwan from Chiufen The Golden Melting District is a hidden name spot not much known compared to Chiufen, worth the time to visit before the 9th Pacific Light There was a place.
