Jiufen Old Street

The way back to Jiufen Old Street seemed shorter. Maybe it's also because we were just too keen to go for food and get some shelter from the rain.

Although it was still early, tourists were already gathering at the Jiufen Old Street. We went to popular A Mei Teahouse. This is definitely a nice place to chill out.

The stairway to the teahouse

Had snacks, sipped some tea, enjoyed the view.

But our hungry stomach reminded us to head out for more food since we were at Jiufen Old Street.

Local Delicacies not to miss: Braised Pork Belly Rice, Meatball Soup, Egg Omelette

九份芋圆 (Jiu Fen Taro Balls)

Cold weather? It's time for steamboat!

And some Xiao Long Bao

Some snacks to takeaway.

Due to rain (and laziness), we headed back to our accommodation way earlier than expected after eating and walking around Jiufen Old Street.

Jilong Mountain

Start of our day

We woke up to a gloomy weather, cloudy morning. But after a quick simple breakfast catered for together with our accommodation package, we proceed to make our very FIRST attempt at hiking. 

Cloudy morning

Hiking... Walking

It was only around 10 minutes walk from our accommodation place and we at the foot of Jilong mountain. Along the way, there were warning signs to look out for snakes which was a main concern for me. But fortunately, we didn't encounter it.

The nice stairway up the mountain. The red color plate is the warning sign.

Further up the walkway.

And more steps ahead

The more we ascended, the colder it became.

We were still this far away and we turned back because it started drizzling. But behind us, there were still some people making their way up.

All we could see was the gloomy skies even as we descended.

We head back to Jiufen Old Street as the rain starting pouring.
