Both sides of the very crowded and narrow uphill street are many shops (mostly food and souvenirs). |
They looked so yummy but we did not tasted... |
Grilled mushrooms looked good as well. So many temptations... |
The main street was very crowded and busy, but it wad totally different on the side streets - so quiet and peaceful. |
Near the top of the street is my favorite tea house. |
Many kettles are in line to prepare hot water for tea. |
We also ordered small sweets to go with our tea. |
And the edamame as well. |
Our table was on the antique Chinese style bed. |
Quite a lot of tea leaves were served in a small jar. We couldn't use all of it and took the leftover with us to enjoy it later. |
Tables and chairs are also available. It is very retro style which I really like. |
A pond with carp is in the tea house. A cat statue looked as if it was about catching a carp. |
This is the view from the terrace. I think the altitude is quite high. |
After relaxing in the tea house for a quite long time, we went to the observatory near the tea house. A spectacular view of the sea and mountains. |
Then we went back down the same street. |
And another must item in Jiufen, yuyuan! Yuyuan is the taro ball soup (sticky mochi-like balls made with taro in sweet soup). |
Taro balls are made in front of the shop. |
These are the boiled balls in the sweet soup. |
In Jiufen, we saw many cute dogs. Is this one papillon? |
This chihuahua boy was very chubby. I guess he eats delicious food every day. |
My husband was apparently still a bit hungry, and ordered a cup of meat ball/fish ball soup |
Many balls were in the soup. I only tasted the soup, but it was very light and tasty. |
A dog in this shop, too. When my husband was eating his food, he was staring at him... He reminded me of Poirot!! |
