In Jiu Fen, it is easy to get a tea house for a time break, but hardly see any coffee house.
Babka Coffee House is a great Cafe right at the end of old street. The white color building can never miss.
Having a cup of coffee in the beautiful Jiu Fen is a great experience.

Try the hot noodles and beef, after you can have the shaved ice or sweet coloured balls for dessert. Taiwanese also like peanuts sprinked on various dishes.

In the foggy Jiu Fen, it is so nice to have a bowl yam dessert -- "O Ei". The dessert is making by yam and flour, cook with ginger soup... It is great to have under the cold weather.

Instead of going by bus from Taipei, travellers can also take the chance to enjoy the railway experience from Taipei to RuiFang.
Since there is no train directly to Jiu Fen, the passenger has to change bus at the station opposite Rui Fang railway station.

This is the "Gu Dao" at Jiu Fen, where the old street of the old Jiu Fen Town. However, you might see it is not so old and cater for the tourist. For those who don't really like the tourist spot, you will find it very commercialize.
Unique Suggestions: In Taiwan, there is a very good landmark.... wherever you see a 7-Eleven, it is consider a developed area or tourist spot, just like Jiu Fen.
Fun Alternatives: If you are thinking of some other natural or undisturb area... look for those place without or far from 7-Eleven, and you will definitely find the people are not so commercial like this place.

For those who are taking a bus to Jiu Fen, you might see a station called "Jiu Feng" along your way.
Don't drop off at this station, or you'll end up at down hill, walking tirely up to the hill top.
Unique Suggestions: Drop off at the "Gu Dao" (Old Street) station, 2 station away from Jiu Feng station. You are on the hill top and the entrance of the popular spot.

To understand more about Jiu Fen, "A city of sadness" is a must watch movie.
