Taiwan - JinGuaShi Gold Ecological Park (金瓜石黄金博物园区)

Image
Click Here for full itinerary. After the super satisfied breakfast , we are heading to JiuFen ( 九份 ) !!! Bus 1061, the bus we took. There are quite a lot of people taking the same bus with us although it was a Monday morning and around half of them are Japanese. Recommendation: Try to avoid going to JiuFen during weekends since the place is normally crowded during weekends with local and foreign tourists flocked in. Choose normal weekdays where you got to enjoy walking around this peaceful small town. We spent around one hour travelling from TaiPei to JiuFen and we get down from the bus at JiuFen Old Street. Found our guest house and checked in! Since it was still early, the guest house owner suggest us to pay a visit to JinGuaShi Gold Ecological Park ( 金瓜石黄金博物园区 ). We took a mini bus outside of the guest house and within half an hour we reached the gold ecological park! Here is used to be a gold mine developed during the Japanese occupation perio...
