Gateway to Adventure: Exploring Ruifang Station’s Hidden Gems

#chinatrip #taiwan #thingstodo #taipei #ruifang #railway #solotrip Stepping off the train at Ruifang Station, I immediately felt the charm of this laid-back yet bustling hub in New Taipei City. Known as the gateway to Jiufen, Shifen, and Houtong Cat Village, this area is more than just a transit stop—it’s a treasure trove of local eats, quaint streets, and hidden gems. I wandered through the Ruifang Old Street, sampling crispy scallion pancakes and sweet taro balls, before hopping on a train to nearby Shifen Waterfall. Whether you’re here for stunning nature, nostalgic alleyways, or a quick snack before your next adventure, Ruifang offers the perfect blend of convenience and discovery—definitely a stop worth exploring!

☘️ DECODING THE MYSTERY OF THE NAME JIUFEN - A FAMOUS ANCIENT VILLAGE IN TAIWAN This is a place that you cannot miss when traveling to Taiwan, if you miss it, your trip will be wasted! Taiwan has just begun to winter, let's go on a date with the old town of Juifen to feel warmer with the hospitable people here! Today I will reveal a little bit about Jiufen to you. Jiufen means Nine Parts, in the past, there were only 9 households living in this village. Because the village is on the mountain, traveling is also somewhat difficult, so whenever a household goes out to buy goods and food, they buy 9 portions to give to the remaining households, so cute 😉. That's the story of Jiufen, guys :3 So when you come here, remember to bring 9 gifts for your 9 friends!

Houtong Cat Village

In little more than two years, Houtong, which is located 35km east of Taipei in Ruifang district, managed to reinvent itself as a complete cat village. Today, more than 200 cats live in Houtong and a tourist industry has emerged with shops, cafes and restaurants catering to the many visitors who descend on this feline frontier every weekend. How to get there : The easiest way to get here is by train from Taipei Station. Take the Yilan line (most often the terminus will be Su’ao) and simply get off in Houtong about an hour later. #unforgettableexperiences #local #cat #taiwan #travelinspiration
