Qi Tang Old Street

Qi Tang Old Street is actually not far from Jiufen Old Street, located just a bit behind the Gold Museum. From the old site of the Jinguashih Hospital Plaza, you can see the signpost for Qi Tang Old Street. Following the signs along the trail, you can also clearly see the old street's colorful rainbow stairs. Although Qi Tang Old Street and Jiufen Old Street are both part of the historic mountain towns of Shuijinjiu, some of the houses on the street still retain their unique old Japanese architectural style. There don't seem to be many residents in the old street, and it appears that quite a few have moved away. Even on weekends, wandering through the streets, it's honestly not as bustling and commercially vibrant as Jiufen, nor is it overly noisy. You can easily and leisurely enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere of the mountain town. If you don't like the excessive crowds of Jiufen, you might choose to visit Qi Tang Old Street first. Following the trail from Qi Tang Old Street, you can head to Teapot Mountain, Shuinandong Site, and it's also close to Quanjitang. If you're tired and want to rest, nearby there's a mountaintop tofu pudding spot and whitebait fish rice noodle soup.
