第六天:九份老街—黄金博物园区

We woke up late in the morning & having our breakfast just near our homestay. After that, we took Taipei MRT from Jiantan (劍潭) to Zhongxiao Fuxing, Exit 1(忠孝复兴站1号出口) and then took基隆客运 #1062 to Jiufen Old Street (九份老街)「台北-中山高-瑞芳-(九份)-金瓜石」线到九份. It took about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours & ticket price cost NT$80 to NT$90. Jiufen is a small town in north Taiwan & wonderful place to visit if you love the architectural of old buildings & old street markets. It was once a famous gold mining town but now a tourist attraction. You can see a lot of lovely things that are so cute & unique. We arrived at Jiufen Old Street at about 11.30am.
