I have questions about Jiufen. Is it much better to visit at night? What about transportation back to Taipei at night? Hey Chris, if you want to see it at night I recommend getting there maybe by around 5 PM so that you can be there by sunset and stay til after dark.
I am not sure when the shops close. For transportation, you can see the bus link I provided above, but I think taxis should still be available. Hi Melissa, We are planning to go to Nov.
