Upon arrival, walk along the historical Jiufen Old Street, a market street that stretches through most of the village, and discover the retro blend of Chinese and Japanese architecture on cafés, tea houses, and souvenir shops. Then head to the Golden Waterfall, which earned its nickname from its yellow hue caused by the combination of regular rainfall in the mining area and abundant heavy metal elements deposited in the riverbed.Continue your adventure at Heping Island Park. While here, take out your camera and snap photos of the famous 'bean-curd rock' as well as pedestal rocks formed by wave erosion and crustal movement.
