Jiufen (九份) village in Taiwan
The bustling streets of the former Japanese-era gold mining town of Jiufen (九份) during our trip to Rueifang Township, New Taipei City (formerly Taipei County), Taiwan (ROC) on Tuesday, March 11, 2014.
Jiufen, also spelled Jioufen or Chiufen (九份), is a mountain area in the Ruifang District of New Taipei City near Keelung. During the first years of the Qing Dynasty, the village housed nine families, thus the village would request nine portions every time shipments arrived from town. Later Jiufen (nine portions in Chinese) would become the name of the village.

The Gold Waterfall (黃金瀑布) is seen during our trip to Jinguashi (金瓜石) and Jiufen (九份) in Rueifang Township, New Taipei City (formerly Taipei County), Taiwan (ROC) on Tuesday, March 11, 2014.
Located between mountains and the coastline, Jinguashi has attracted more and more tourists every year with its exceptionally stunning scenery.
Jinguashi is an old gold and copper mining town on Taiwan's north-east coast. The Gold Ecological Park (黃金博物園區) preserves some of the area's Japanese era buildings and contains a museum which tells the story of gold mining in the area. You can walk around the park for free but you need to buy a ticket to enter the museum buildings and the Crown Prince Chalet. There is also the Benshan Fifth Tunnel which visitors can enter to gain an experience of what conditions were like for miners.
During Japanese rule, there was a POW camp during World War II, and was referred to by its Japanese name Kinkaseki.

【台北】Follow Me Around Jinguashi | 一起來逛金瓜石 (Eng Sub) - TW VLOG #3
台灣VLOG系列的第三集，我來到位於台北新北市的金瓜石。這個區域有許多景點，其中最有名的是黃金博物館，但我這次的主要任務是去黃金神社，因此只在園區中逛了一下，順道一遊勸濟堂那邊的老街。如果想體驗山城氣氛，又不想在九份跟其他遊客擠，可以跟我一樣，到這裡來個短短的半日遊! (中文字幕 / English Subtitle)
