Located in the northern mountainous region of Taiwan, Jiufen is famous for its night view, which offers a different charm from the daytime. As the sun sets and the red lanterns begin to light up one by one, this small village transforms into a scene straight out of a fairy tale.

The zigzagging stairs and narrow alleyways, along with traditional teahouses, vividly come to life under the soft glow, creating Jiufen's dreamlike atmosphere.

Last week, during my trip to Taiwan, I visited this place, and this photo was taken at that time. The night view of Jiufen, experienced in real-time, was so beautiful that it couldn’t be fully captured in pictures, leaving a lasting impression.

Jiufen is also well known as the backdrop for the animated film 'Spirited Away,' attracting many tourists. However, beyond its fame, Jiufen's true charm reveals itself in the ambiance found in its quiet alleys.

At the end of the day, a cup of tea enjoyed with this night view warms not just the body but also the soul.
