The famous steps of Jiufen

A quiet alleyway before all the tourists arrive


Mr. Li in the doorway of his shop. I spent the night in his guesthouse upstairs. It was a nice, quaint B & B!


Morning view from where I stayed at the guesthouse


View of the northeast coast from the top of Jilong Mountain near Jiufen
Heading back down Jilong Mountain into Jiufen

Looking south, there's Jilong Mountain (the highest point - left center) viewed from the coast


Here's a view looking out to sea from the same area as the previous photo. This is a section of the northeast coast between Jiufen and Keelung
