| Jiufen is essentially a hill town which had gone through a fascinating past. Jiufen had been a quiet village nestled between the Pacific coast and the hills until the presence of gold in the area became known to the world outside. After the first mine was dug in 1890, the place became a bustling center of gold seekers and traders. The little village soon grew into a prosperous town with tremendous prospects. However, the mining activities gradually waned away after the Second World War and the town receded into insignificance. Jiufen once again came into prominence as the award winning film ‘A City of Sadness’ by Hou Hsiao-hsien's was shot here. |
