(Jiufen, a small village) 
(Jiufen in the rain)
(Shuchi Road of Jiufen)
(grandpa's old home over 40 years ago )Jiufen, a small village located in northeast of Taiwan and a very popular spot for tourists. Once Jiufen was famous of gold mining, but later it faded because of decrease of gold production. It became popular again because it was the main shooting location of a famous movie "Sad City".
After being a hot spot, Jiufen became alive again. Many original residents and immigrants started to run souvenir store, restaurants and hotels there. Though it brought prosperity to Jiufen, it also added too much artificial flavor to Jiufen.
Jiufen is not only a tourist site to me. It is also a place where my mom grown up and where my mom met dad.
