Teapot Mountain 茶壺山 is definitely one of my favorite hikes in all of Taiwan. On a clear day, Teapot can easily be conquered on a day trip from Taipei that even includes a visit to the nearby towns of Jinguashi 金瓜石 and Jiufen 九份. A full weekend away could include any of the beautiful scenic areas of the Northeast Coast, including the Bitou Cape, Fulong Beach, Pingxi, the nearby Keelung City, and many other nice spots.
Banpingshan has amazing views of the whole Northeast Coast.
JiuFen (Jeoufen), Taiwan (台灣九份) is a popular destination about an hour east of Taipei. It’s popular with tourists and locals alike, but has a certain charm to it that can’t be missed.
I recently visited Jiufen for an evening and had a great time wandering around. I wasn’t planning on writing a full blog post about it, but I left with some fun photos that I thought I might share…
