16/22 jiufen 九份

 this is your first visit to jiu fen (九份), and it's exactly how you expected it to be, a popular tourist spot, hilly and narrow streets.
 you took a reversal route, so after a few steep flight of staircase, you arrived at the famous cinema
 and this is just a perspective of jiu fen, narrow but charming, each corner has a surprise
 you're determine to try this famous taro and sweet potatoes dumplings. and this is one of the two authentic outlets where you order what you want, a mixed bowl of sweet soup
 and then take it to the eating place behind where you can eat while enjoying this view at the terrace setting
 another outlet that selling the same taro and sweet potatoes dumpling soup. you didn't try this one as your stomach has limited space
 jiu fen is really all about food, yummy delicious food that reminiscence your home town....
 red fermented rice pork bun or dumplings, you picked one up but only got to enjoy it the next day, imagine how stuffed you're that day....
 balls, assorted meat balls made of pork, fish and others...
 there are just too many choice to choose from just snacking along, that's excluding the tea house and proper restaurants.  the weather turns bad when you're still hunting for food
 the delicious sweet, so tempting but you let go of the idea...
and local specialty to bring home...
but you pick up some kuehs from this famous kueh stall in jiu fen.
a few flavors that you picked up and enjoying them on the go... the skin is incredibly soft and the filling is a little different from your acquired taste but they are pleasing to your palate. so good that if only you could have more!
this place becomes really crowded at non when the buses drop off the tourists, at that point with the rain that getting heavier, you decided to leave to your next destination.  it would be lovely if you could experience a night stay right here at jiu fen and enjoying the peace and serenity once the bulk of tourists are gone.
