This camera looks out over Jiufen, a mountain town in the hills of New Taipei, Taiwan. It is a useful way to see how the town looks right now before you plan a visit, or to follow the mood of the streets from a distance. The live stream is provided by its owner and embedded here with a link to the source.

About the town

Jiufen sits at roughly 358 metres above sea level on the slopes of the Keelung Mountains, in the northeastern part of Taiwan. It grew up as a gold mining settlement and later became known for its narrow stepped lanes, tea houses and street food stalls. The town faces the Pacific coast and is often wrapped in mist, which gives it a distinctive atmosphere. Many visitors know it as a backdrop for classic Taiwanese films and literature.

What the camera shows

The title names the town itself, so we cannot describe specific buildings in frame. Depending on the view, you may see rooftops, hillside lanes or the wider valley. The hour around dusk is often the most atmospheric, when lanterns are lit and the crowds thin. Weather changes quickly up here, so the picture can shift from clear to cloudy within minutes.

Practical notes

Jiufen is best visited in the cooler months from autumn to spring, though rain is common throughout the year. Weekends and holidays draw large crowds, so weekday mornings are calmer. Getting there usually means a bus from Taipei or Keelung. Nearby cameras on VizCams include Bishan Temple and the Top of Xiangshan in Taipei, and Yangmingshan further west.
