Today I have some more to tell about Taipei and its places to see.
I have been to Jiufen village, which is very popular for local tourists, it's just about an hour away from Taipei and easily to reach by train and bus. There are many small houses build down the hillside, and face the sea.
It is very crowded by tourists and I didn’t feel very comfortable being there. It was very commercial and not much of local life anymore. But many people said that at night it's pretty quiet, the lights of the houses glitter on the hillside, and the harbour is gleaming.
九份开始变冷了，芒花开了，满山白茫茫，像雪。”
印象中的九份是从《悲情城市》被沉默的中年男子拨开晃摇吊灯的阴暗老屋里走出来的，平静生活的小镇居民，狭窄的山街上挂着红灯笼，旧时代的酒楼亮着醒目的招牌，远眺即是雨雾里灰青色山峦环绕的港口，暗沉的色调有一种“山雨欲来风满楼”的迹象。
还是几年前看的电影，整部电影非常沉静，又有重量闷在胸口，像电影里不可平的无言的山和海，压抑极了。然而沉重的历史褶皱慢慢平整，如今的台湾人过着安居乐业的小日子，时光在那里像水，波澜不惊。
如今的九份已经彻底商业化，完全看不到生活痕迹。大概是宫崎骏的《千与千寻》火遍了东亚，九份被日韩游客占满，也因此到处都在兜售卖萌的狸猫挂件，即便是下雨九份也不让人觉得忧伤。但入夜后的九份非常宁静，灯光延山而亮，渔灯照亮漆黑的港口，轮船的汽笛如悲鸣在夜空中嘶吼，我是很久很久没听到那样的汽笛声了，让有所感怀的夜更加寂静了。清早有轮船驶向寒雾，待雾散开，喧嚣就又开始了。
侯孝贤说对九份如今的改变有一种罪恶感，这话让人觉得真诚。
有关侯孝贤的书《煮海时光》，是贾樟柯写的序，他提到幼年时偶读报刊，看到廖承志写给蒋经国的信，“经国吾弟：咫尺之隔，竟成海天之遥。” 想起高晓松说，“这里有大历史碾过的痕迹，这里也有温良恭俭让的人民……”
I also visited the 1914 art factory, it's also a park. Mainly for different exhibition, is also a place to take beautiful pictures. The art factory is quite large, but not many shops, there is a art movie cinema, which found by a very famous Taiwan director. And a famous livehouse, which are many live shows of folk and rock music.
The exhibitions are more international and there are also theater performances. Its a good place to spend some time in a more quiet area in the city center and see young generation's modern life.
华山1914文艺创意园，据说最早是日本殖民时期的一个酒厂，有很多不同的仓库，后来在很长一段时间是一个废墟。到九十年代后期，一群艺术家开始呼吁一个培育艺术家的基地，于是就有了现在的文创园区。类似于北京的798，都是旧工厂改造的现代工业风格建筑，适合拍照和探店。
创意园比较出名的是侯孝贤创办的“光点影院”，主要放映文艺片。还有一个live house，主要是摇滚和民谣演出。
知道永康路是因为台湾作家骆以军在理想国的短片中像大家展示了他的写作根据地，永康路一带的小咖啡店，他说那一带有许多老将军老教授居住，随便一个旧书店都能找到揭秘历史风云的旧书，他还曾在那一带的某咖啡店偶遇过张大春。张悬和陈绮贞驻唱过的女巫店也在附近，女巫店楼上是有关女权主义的图书。
台北的夜市多到逛不过来，据我的经验是士林夜市样式多，饶河夜市的美食口味更好，师大夜市俊男美女多，周边的小巷子里总隐藏着一些有故事的小酒馆，还有宁夏夜市最值得一去。
And the best things to do in Taipei, as i mentioned yesterday is eating! The night markets are a big thing for Taiwanese people.
We went to see three different night markets; Ningxia, Raohe and Shilin.
Ningxia Night market has a lot of different seafood. There are many grilled seafood, deep fried seafood, and other options.
Raohe Night market was my favorite one. Even though it is quite touristy, you get a very rich variety of different foods and it is just big enough to not appear too big, as shilin does.
Shillin Night market is the biggest of all in Taipei, probably even Taiwan. It is just huge and for a first timer, its not easy not to get lost. Also as it is the most popular night market, it is absolutely crowded and often people are lining up for hundred meters to get a popular dish. Still it is a great place to visit as long as you don’t afraid too many people at one place and I don’t have to say that the food there is excellent again!
And what you must to try is the milk tea in Taiwan, you can find everywhere on the streets.
And Yangming Mountains, the place you can go hiking in the Taipei city. 还有台北的阳明山非常适合一天的休闲徒步，在里面所有人都可以公平的享受到大自然的给予。
