Jiufen enchants with its lantern-lit alleyways and sweeping ocean views, a legacy of its gold-mining heyday that yielded 1,200 kilograms of gold annually. Its narrow Shengping Street is 40% more photogenic than the average Taiwan historic lane, though it draws only half the crowds of Taipei's Shilin market. The town's 100+ teahouses offer a tranquil escape.
