“Arriving in Jiufen, I always look for a place where I can easily walk to the Old Street but still find a quiet corner. Staying at a garden hostel means I can drop my bag, grab a cup of tea, and head straight to a terrace with a view. It’s a great way to meet people without feeling pressured, especially when there are shared outdoor spaces. The fresh air and natural light make a huge difference after a long day of exploring, and it feels safe and welcoming.”
