Jiufen Old Street is a narrow mountain village alleyway located within 1 hour of Taipei, lined with small food stalls, tea houses, souvenir shops, and pottery stores. The site is famous for its red lanterns and resemblance to the village in Spirited Away, though Miyazaki never confirmed this inspiration. Visitors can explore the historic gold mining town, visit tea houses, sample local food and snacks, and hike nearby Teapot Mountain.
