Tetsuya and his family went to an old historic town, Jiufen (九份). The name of ``九 (nine)'' originates in nine families living there in Quing dynasty. The appearance of buildings is amazing and nostalgic.
Unfortunately it was rainy but there were still so many people in spite of weekday. We saw a lot of foreign tourists, especially Japanese students. If the ancient nine families saw the current town like festivity, they should be surprised.
Jiufen is famous for tea. We enjoyed Taiwanese style tea. Our baby was looking at tea but she can not drink yet.
This is my favorite famous dessert in Jiufen, ``芋圓'' which is made by a kind of potato. They have a lot of foods and souvenirs in Jiufen. I really recommend to go to Jiefen if you have a chance. Please do not forget to take an umbrella!
