“Staying at Ruifang Yi Hostel, I found the shared kitchen incredibly practical. After a day hiking around Jiufen, it was great to grab some local ingredients from the market and cook a simple dinner. The kitchen was clean and had everything I needed, from a microwave to an oven. It also made it easy to store leftovers and keep my drinks cold. The staff were always helpful, and the location near the train station meant getting around was a breeze, even with my backpack.”
