About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Jinguashi 13 Ruins, Ruifang Dist., New Taipei Taiwan

Open the Time Capsule
It is almost a miracle that the deserted mining site and the settlement remain so intact in Jinguashi. One may stroll in this open air museum, literally.

We may walk along a trolley track for mine transportation or raise our heads to see the elegant mining aqueduct and bridge. Imagine a past life when you walk through the lane in front of the former Japanese settlement. These wooden residences are the blend of rusticity and sophistication, conveying a philosophy of life.

If you are seeking some spiritual inspiration conserved from the Japanese era, let's climb up a bit to the mountain. The Shinto Shrine was dedicated to Kami (spirits) of metallurgy. A magnificent festival was held here every summer. Nowadays the ruin may not recall the glory, but the delightful view of mountains is definitely a treat.

Last but not least, we must visit the Gold Museum to discover more about this industry. It is estimated that more than 200 tons of gold still remain in Jinguashi . Wouldn't you like to know more?

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street), Jishan Street, New Taipei 22450 Taiwan

At first sight, you may be stunned by the crowd of visitors. It is exactly the vigor of the masses that is so attractive. The whole town was austerely built around the mountain, revealing the traces of the influx of miners one century ago.

Duration: 2 hours
