Hi, You can also visit "平溪" if you have time. It is old town as well but the view is different with Jiufen. "放天燈" is a famous activity you must to do there.
you can visit this website http://www.2012skylantern.com/index.html

Jinguashi gold mine is close to Jiufen old street. It is worth to see "黃金博物館".

Jiufen old street has a lot of different things to buy and food to try~紅槽肉圓,芋圓蕃薯圓.... Meanwhile, the view of the old town and the sunrise is very nice there.

Keelung night market: Is a street which sells nice food. I have been there last June. At that time, there were under renovation. So, i didn't have much impression but you must try "泡泡冰" if you plan to go. Keelung is on the way to Jinggushi so if you have time, you can stop here.

Yehliu (geopark) : Basically, it just see the special terrain landscape. There is a bit walk and it has not much trees around. So, it is always very hot there.

Thank you !! I will include those places in my itinery..i think geopark still ok cos im going nex week

No problem!
Taiwan is a very nice place ~
Have a fun there..

Guys wanna ask is it compulsory to know mandarin if want to travel to Taiwan?

I heard there's literally a language barrier when travelling to Taiwan.

Yes, that is true.

Its even worse than shanghai if u try to communicate with them in english

Huh? Compulsory meh?

As long as you can speak Mandarin is ok d. They have English signboards, English speaking workers (especially tourist related industry) and basically they are well prepared to entertain non-chinese tourists lo...

*in my humble opinion*
