【基隆旅遊】?夜訪九份? ⋆ 貓女Teresa

上星期某日我們家宅男老爺長毛爸突然一時興起，丟了一句：要不要去九份走走？Teresa頓時有如收到通知今晚被翻牌一般，眼睛放射出星芒，忙不迭點頭稱好。

不囉唆，兩人跨上摩托車，就直奔九份而去。

How are you today? Follow me to one of the most popular travel spots of Taipei.

My husband suddenly asked me: if you want to walk around in Jiufen? I was so excited because he was a home animal and didn’t hang out with me often.

So we rode a motorcycle to Jiufen immediately.

我們到的時候已經天黑了，但是我還是興致勃勃，正如我之前在台北著名景點你去過幾個提到過，九份不論是晴天陰天、白天或是黑夜，都有各自無法取代的美。

平常我是從基隆望向九份，山上如同被仙女棒撒過魔術粉末，一片片閃爍燈海，非常美麗。現在從九份望向海邊，雖然燈光不如九份密集，但是另有一種悠閒平靜的美感。

Although it was the night when we arrived, I was still excited. As I mentioned in my post How many travel spots you have visited in Taipei，you can discover different beauty of Jiufen no matter it’s the day or night、sunny day or cloudy day.

I usually look far away from Keelung to Jiufen. The brilliant light sea looks like the little fairy pours the magic powder on the mountain, so beautiful. Now I gazed down from Jiufen to Keelung, it was a different atmosphere with ease and peace.

我們騎著摩托車一路衝到高處，從高處向下看路邊，竟然有種燈紅酒綠的錯覺。

我其實已經很久沒有來九份了，路邊專賣遊客紀念品的店家一間一間的開，頓時有點來到墾丁大街的感覺。雖然有些感慨純樸的小山城不復見，但是看到觀光事業的發展所帶來的蓬勃新氣象，還是應該為當地居民感到高興的。

We rode the motorcycle all the way up to the highest place and looked down to the road. It was still lively at night. I was glad that tourism brought the little town a new life although I missed the simple beauty before Jiufen became so commercial.

在上面看到城隍廟對面的房子，原來是這間頗有特色的餐廳-芋料理。

台灣有個很特殊的觀光特色，只要是觀光景點一定伴隨著美食，台灣人甚至會大老遠的跑去某個景點只為了追尋美食，正應了中國人的諺語：民以食為天。九份最著名的美食自然是芋圓，芋料理創辦人有鑒於市面上很多芋頭料理經過機器加工而喪失了手工芋圓的天然風味，基於個人對於芋頭料理的熱愛而開了這家創意芋頭料理景觀餐廳。這家餐廳我還沒有去吃過，這種點菜方式的餐廳比較適合多一點人去吃，才能吃到比較多的菜色。從網路上的評價來看，有機會我會想去試試看。

芋料理的前面就是一個私人停車場，想要來逛九份順便吃飯的捧油，停這裏還蠻方便的。

Taiwanese likes to visit a travel spot for delicious food. The most popular food in Jiufen is taro balls with condensed milk.

Here was a restaurant named Taro Cuisine. They used handmade taro cooking method instead of machine-made because the founder of this restaurant loved taro cuisine very much.

There was a parking lot in front of the restaurant. It was convenient for tourists who drove the car.

芋料理掛了很多燈籠做裝飾，難怪遠遠望過來就很容易引起我的注意。

Lanterns hanging on the ceiling created a mysterious ancient China atmosphere. No wonder It got my attention from far away.

入口處在餐廳的後方，花草環繞，又是另一種不同的氣氛。

The entrance was behind the restaurant.

餐廳旁邊有條看起來質樸的小巷，原來公共洗手間就藏在這裏。

There was a rustic alley next to Taro Cuisine, where the public bathroom was right here.

時間太晚了，我沒有去走一般觀光客必走的蜿蜒階梯，從路邊往上望去，這裡的燈光特別引人注目，不知道是不是就是有名的昇平戲院看板呢？

I didn’t step on the most famous ladder in Jiufen. Look up from the roadside, I was wondering if it was the famous Shen-Ping theatre?

這次去我注意到路邊開了好多家民宿，每一間各有特色。晚上的民宿因為燈光的妝點，看起來特別浪漫。

大部份的遊客會選擇白天來爬高掛紅燈籠的階梯，感受古色古香的氣氛，逛逛充滿古香的小店，吃吃道地的當地小吃，幻想著走在神隱少女的電影場景中。

如果有充分的時間的話，其實也可以選擇在九份住上一晚，晚上坐在茶藝館品茗，看著遠處的夜景，享受徐徐吹來的微風，總覺得日子就該過得這麼愜意。

There were more and more Homestays opened here. They looked so brilliant and romantic at night because of the decoration of lights.

Most visitors will come to Jiufen at day time and imagine they walk in the movie scene of Spirited Away. I suggest you stay here for one night to feel the peaceful atmosphere of the little town if you have enough free time. It’s a wonderful experience to drink Chinese tea in the tea house and enjoy the beautiful night scene.

這間民宿看起來特別可愛，正如招牌上寫的「小角落」，站在路邊的話，這間民宿是在路面以下，也就是必須下樓梯才能進入民宿內部，真的就像藏在小角落的一個不為人知的小天地。藍色發光的星星，把民宿妝點得神秘又俏皮。

I liked this adorable Homestay very much. It was lower than the road so that you had to walk down the ladder to get there. It looked like an unknown little world hidden in a little corner just like the name of the Homestay -「Corner Inn」
