We chose the plan that included a keychain. We received a very cute keychain plush toy of the character from the Keelung National Museum of Marine Science and Technology. My sons are very happy.
Unfortunately, it was pouring rain (apparently it rains 200 days a year in Jiufen), and even though it was Golden Week, it was cold, and the narrow streets meant umbrellas kept bumping into each other, getting everyone soaked. In that situation, it was a relief to be able to relax and enjoy tea in a shop. Above all, the location was fantastic. You can take photos of that famous scenery (and you can't get in without a reservation), and then leisurely sip Taiwanese tea while admiring it. I think it's an irresistible place for people who love Chinese tea sets, furniture, and tea ceremony. The tea was high mountain tea. Peanuts, rakugan (a type of Japanese sweet), and plums simmered in tea were served. It was a small portion, but it was delicious, so I bought some of the simmered plums as a souvenir. I had made a reservation for 3:30 PM, which was when it wasn't busy, but they told me I could come in at 2:30 PM as well. They were very friendly. I stayed for a long time and left around 4 PM, and the stairs were dangerously crowded. It got dark early because of the rain, so I was glad I could experience that magical atmosphere early. If you decide to go to Jiufen, make a reservation as soon as possible. I think 5 PM is the best time.
Ordering ten minutes before arrival means you can just walk in without having to buy another ticket – so convenient! Plus, it's cheaper than buying a ticket on-site!
