With its air of historical heritage, Shuijinjiu
(ShueiNanDong, Jingguashi, Jiufen) used to be
prosperous and glamorous due to mining. Although its
magnificent semblance no longer exists, the peaceful
and beautiful atmosphere has persisted. With a wave to
the age of the gold rush, one can still see a glimpse
of its glorious past through the Golden Waterfall.
Gazing at the ShueiNanDong Remains of the 13 Levels,

it is like a beautiful palace that was deserted,
earning it the name of “Potala Palace of the Mountain
Mines”. Probing forward to the mouth of the river is
the considerably distinguished Yinyang Sea, with its
half gold half bluish green spectacle inspiring
countless imaginations of romance.
Walking along the
streets of the meandering old streets of Jiufen and
tasting the various kinds of authentic eateries is the
love of tourists. Stepping into the Golden Museum, one
can glimpse the historical traces of the mining
industry culture, reminiscing of past glories from its
museum, living quarters, and shrine remains.
The
unassuming mountain city of Houtong used to be a
mining village. With the call of cat lovers, volunteer
groups were established to create a friendly
environment for cats and turned Houtong into a cat
village for cat lovers.
