    Review of: Bitoujiao Trail
    Beautiful place - a great hike!
    I went for a hike here on my trip to Taiwan. It took me over two hours to get here from my hotel in downtown Taipei. Use the google maps app to find which buses you can take to get here (make sure to tap your easy-card once you get on the bus and once you get off the bus). It is pretty easy and straightforward. If you are unsure if you are on the right bus try showing a picture of the hiking trail to the bus driver, he confirmed I was on the right bus. It was VERY hot the day I went. I cannot stress enough to take at least 3 bottles of water and an umbrella to shield yourself from the sun. Also pack some food to eat to keep your energy levels up. Watch out for the huge spiders in the brown gazebo's along the way. I had never seen such huge spiders before and they were all over the place in them. The views are beautiful and the hike was amazing. Near the end of the hike you start walking downhill into the jungle through a bunch of spiral stones stairs where I met a local selling water to the everyone on the hike so bring some small change if need be to buy some things. What a beautiful hike, I am so glad I went. Catch the returning bus just on the opposite side of the road where you get dropped off.

    Review of: Shen’ao Elephant Trunk Rock
    Does look like an elephant trunk
    Taiwan is surrounded by water and there's no shortage of unique rock formations! It's a rocky (sometimes steep) trail to the top in order to view the "trunk". Can also be very crowded. I had read about an incident that occurred 2 months prior to our visit that a visitor had fallen off (reason unknown) the top. This is probably why it was roped off and no one allowed to actually go onto the trunk rock when we were there. Still worth a visit. The landscape is beautiful and you get a work out in! Just watch your footing!

    Review of: Cat Village Houtong
    Cute and goofy
    Houtong is one stop beyond Ruifang on the train from Taipei. There are cats roaming about but not ones up for a cuddle. The gift shops, of course, are why you go. Everyone knows at least one cat-lover and Houtong is where to get that cat-lover a souvenir of your trip to Taiwan.

    Review of: Shenao Elephant Trunk Rock
    No more climb
    It takes 15 min by Uber ($120) from Ruifang Train Station. The formation Is super cool, but people are not allowed to climb it anymore.

    Review of: Jinguashi 13 Ruins
    Spectacular
    If you are into the beauty of ruins, it’s a place not to be missed. Offers great views of the Ying Yang Sea. There are roads at the back of it giving different perspectives of this place.

    Review of: Nanya Rock Area
    Must be amazing when it’s not raining
    A great - dark and heavy rainy day for our trip with Edison Travels.

    For sure it must be amazing on a very sunny day. It sadly rained like crazy so the photoshop was washed a bit away.

    Review of: Jioufen Gold Mine Museum
    Interesting Place
    This was a very interesting place on the way back to Taipei I stopped here. It was extremely hot that day so I could walk more but the museum was very cool I enjoyed it.

    Review of: Golden Waterfall
    Memories of mining times past
    This landmark in Jinguashi looks amazing at night with its mixture of colors and reflections. It is a tranquil reminder of times past when mining was an important activity in this area. Worth a stop-by on the way up or down the Jiufen shopping alleys.

    Review of: Wuer Chahu Shan/Teapot Mountain
    Not to be missed!
    Wow... My new favorite hike in Taiwan! We stayed in Jioufen and took the local bus to Jingwahshuh (gold miners museum) where we started our journey. You walk through a quiant old historic village and a Gwangong temple to get to the starting point of the trek. The path to the actual Teapot peak has well maintained stairs and pagoda pit stops so even the young or elderly could enjoy it. Getting to the peak is a little more arduous with some rope climbing and pulling yourself up through some tight spaces. The spectacular views will be your reward and trust me...you won't be disappointed! After the Teapot you can continue to Bahnping peak which is the summit for this mountain range (another 45 min. from the Teapot). We enjoyed a picnic there soaking in the serene panoramic view. We completed the entire loop in 4.15 hours. It was hot and unlike many other hikes in Taiwan, most of it was under the sun so bring plenty of sunscreen and water.

    Review of: Chiufen Shengping Theater
    An old Movie Theater wonderfully preserved
    This movie theater reminded me of old movie houses in the Philippines. The wooden chairs, the ticketing office outside as well as a snack counter. This is located in a popular tourist area as it is just adjacent to the lantern alley. When in Jiufen, make sure to spend some few minutes exploring the interior of this old movie theater. There is also a room that serves as a museum of old photos and memorabilia when the theater was still operating.

    Review of: Gold Museum, New Taipei Government
    Indoor Museum on a rainy day!
    We didn't visit the outdoor park, instead we paid (NT80) and went to the indoor museum as it was raining. We had a long but nice walk as the driver could not stop and wait at the front of the museum. Had some insights on the history and the worklife of the coal miners and managed to touch the 220kg gold bar.
    Tip: if you are in packed day trip schedule (to visit Jiu Fen, Shi Fen, Yehliu etc), you may want to make this visit as short as possible.
