How long should I spend at Jiufen?

I spent about 4 hours at Jiufen, with long breaks at the teahouses. I would recommend dedicating more time to slowly meander about in Jiufen. Give yourself 1-2 hours to wander through the charming streets and another 1-2 hours for a teahouse experience, including any potential wait times.
