“As a solo backpacker in Jiufen, I found the shared kitchen invaluable. Staying at On My Way Jiufen Hostel, just a minute from Old Street, meant I could grab fresh ingredients from the market and cook a simple dinner, saving money and meeting other travelers over a meal. It felt safe and welcoming, and having a place to store my snacks and make tea after a long day of hiking was a real comfort. The kitchen was always clean, making it easy to use.”
