Jinguashi, which translates to something like “Gold Melon Rock,” is famous for its place in history as a vast gold mine exploited mostly by the Japanese colonists in the late 19th and early 20th century. Today, the mines are dried up; the gold rush has ended. However, it remains mostly intact, a stunning image of a bygone era, nominated for the honor of UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002.
Jinguashi is very near to Jiufen in Northern Taiwan’s Rueifang Township, Taipei County. Its geography offers the obvious mountains that once contained free money, and stunning views of the coast to boot.
Mostly, the site has been turned into the “Gold Ecological Park“, which offers a number of ways to see how the area’s history has been influenced by gold mining, and to get a peek into what life was like in the past. The park also aims to integrate the natural environment with the gold extraction, educating tourists on the geology of Jinguashi, along with its natural flora and so on.
Jinguashi Attractions:
1) Museum of Gold
It discusses the history of gold mining in Jinguashi, how the Japanese pulled it off, and there is even a section dedicated to the Prisoners of War camp for allied prisoners kept by the Japanese during World War II.
Also part of the Museum of Gold is the Benshan Tunnel, where you can go underground and get a feel for the everyday lives of miners working in the rough conditions.
2) Shinto Temple
3) Golden Waterfall
“Golden Waterfall,” like “museum of gold”, is much more literal than you might hope – the waterfall is laden with remnants of harmful minerals, meaning you should avoid coming in contact with it. Still, a “look, don’t touch” policy will lead to a good experience. The waterfall sources to the Yin-Yang Sea, visible from Jinguashi. A sharp drop in elevation has created the waterfall, check it out as it’s not far from the road.
From Taipei or other more distant places, you’ll have to take a trainor bus to Ruifang. At the Ruifang Station, you can get a bus ticket that will take you directly to the Gold Ecological Park at Jinguashi. Alternatively, taxis regularly ship tourists from the train station to the park and back, and with shared costs it even ends up being cheaper than the bus.
Buses can be taken to Jinguashi directly from Keelung (at the train station) or Jiufen, so that’s a good option if you happen to be in one of those places as part of a multi-stop trip.

The Amei teahouse::
The Amei Teahouse is located on Shuqi Road. Its strong Japanese architectural style makes it very eye-catching. In particular, when it is rumored that the teahouse looks like the building of Yubaba in the animated picture Spirited Away of Hayao Miyazak, more and more people want to find out the truth about it.
The Amei Teahouse was originally a blacksmith shop run by Amei's grandfather who made tools for local miners. With the rise of the tourism industry in Jiufen, Amei transformed the blacksmith shop into a teahouse with her experience in teahouse operations. This spacious teahouse is the first of its kind and one of the representative buildings in Jiufen. It is located in place with great vision, and
guests can view the gorgeous mountain and sea views of Jiufen from every table. The teahouse has two wings, the east and west. The east wing is a pure teahouse where visitors can enjoy great tea. The west wing is a bar with handmade organic snacks. Under the east wing, there is a basement for small group gatherings; and on the roof, there is an open-air tea area. In the west wing, there is a group dinning area on the roof that is connected with the open-air tea area in the east wing.
The exterior of the teahouse is wrapped up by wooden walls to maintain the original flavor of Jiufen. Although Jiufen is a rainy area where wood rots easily due to the humid weather, the Amei Teahouse refurbishes the building every three years, and it is worth it according to the owner. At the Amei Teahouse, tea tasting and tea demonstration are the main services. Now, it also provides a wide variety of tea drinks and specialty snacks, and 80% of the limited handmade tea snacks are made by the house. The uniquely brewed osthumus tea wine from the house is made of pure organic ingredients. This time-consuming and labor-intensive "tea wine" integrating the aroma of tea and wine and the fragrance of osthumus is suitable for serving both hot and cold. Therefore, it is the most common order of regular customers.
