“Staying in Ruifang, I found the hostels near the railway station incredibly convenient for exploring the area. After a long day of hiking around Jiufen, it was great to come back to a place where I could just relax. The games room at Ruifang Yi Hostel was a real bonus; I ended up joining a few other backpackers for a couple of rounds of cards and a board game. It was a simple way to meet people without having to go out, and the shared kitchen meant we could grab some snacks. It felt safe and welcoming, a perfect base for solo travel.”
