Jiufen is a former gold mining town in seaside mountain area, an hour away from Taipei City, Taiwan's capital. Jiufen and the surrounding area are one of the top attractions of Taiwan, because of the beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, the mountains and the town itself with its maze of lanes and alleyways, retro Chinese and Japanese style cafes, tea houses, and souvenir shops. Jiufen popularity is also due to its resemblance to the town in the Japanese masterpiece anime "Spirited Away". In the video: views from the surrounding mountains, hiking around Teapot Mountain, Mt. Keelung, the neighbouring Jinguashi, and the crowded streets of Jiufen.
