Jiufen Old Street, Historic market street in Ruifang District, Taiwan

The two-meter-wide stone-paved street features traditional buildings with wooden facades, red lanterns, and numerous shops on both sides.

Originally established in 1905, the street gained prominence during Taiwan's gold mining era when it became the most prosperous commercial area in the region.

The street maintains Hakka and Taiwanese indigenous architectural elements, hosting traditional art performances and seasonal festivals throughout the year.

The street operates daily from 10:00 to 20:00, with over 200 shops offering local specialties, traditional crafts, and tea houses.

The street earned its local name 'Dark Street' due to its covered walkways, built to protect visitors from frequent rainfall in the mountainous area.
