As the train gently rocked, my friend and I were playing with a little boy. We were on the train heading for Reifang train station, and planned to visit Chiufen. The boy had an angelic face with innocent expressions, laughing aloud when playing with us. We had a great time playing with him. His grandmother, who sat beside the boy, told us that he was abandoned by his mother and she was taking care of him now. The grandmother spoke in a tone of complaint and a little saddness. However, the boy laughed almost at every minute. His angelic laugh really conquered me. Even without his mother's company, I hope he may still hold an optmistic attitude in his future.
↑The boy pretended to look serious in front of the camera.
We changed from train to bus at Reifang train station. On the way to Chiufen, the river that ran next to our bus sparkled in the sunshine, reflecting the golden past of this place. Chiufen's old streets were built into the side of the coastal hills, and there were many shops vending interesting knick-knacks. When I took a picture of a Terra-cotta warrior model, a girl going pass were also caught in my picture. I 'm surprised to find that the boots she wore were very much like the Terra-cotta warrior's. It made me feel that we were not so different from the people in the ancient times. Because of such interesting discoveries, I loved shopping in this kind of shops, even though their goods looked similar to those on Danshui and Ukraine's old streets. Besides, local yam dishes were well preserved, making ths street more unique. We sampled the famous local snack- Yuyuan at a store. Red lanterns hung highly in it, and the huge stones used as tables blended nicely with its old- fashioned decor.

The winding stone steps were also a feature of Chiufen. Walking down the steps, we saw the first theater that Taipei ever had, and the teahouse sitting next to it was a scene in the film Sad City. This buliding was built like a Chinese pavilion, and we could see the inner part of it from the outside. The quaint architectures here gave visiters a nostagic feeling. No wonder they chose to shoot the film here. My friend told me that he remembered the characters in that movie criticizing the politics on the second floor. So we were considering for a long time whether to have tea in it or not, and finally we went to a coffee shop instead, because a pot of tea cost too much money. We only could afford taking some pictures of it.
↑There were lots of booths selling handicrafts such as the calligraphies and paintings. They drew the picture with the customer's name in it.
↑It was interesting to watch the burning of colored glazes. The colored glazes were beautiful though, I saw many burned scars on the man's face.
The coffee shop was in a secluded place. We found it by an accident. After ordering an ice-creamed coffee, we were seated by a large French window. The views below was really amazing. The hills hidden in the mist dotted the Pacific Ocean, and the views were different with every changing second. When the sky was getting dark, the thick mist spread out, crawling over the hills like a huge monster and coming near toward us. Lights of the town were twinkling in the distance. Interestingly, people in the teahouse, which was lower than the coffee shop we were in, were having tea in the mist. ''How wonderful it was if I could have a coffee shop here！'' We both thought so. 
Leaving Chiufen at about 5 p.m., we arrived at the Keelung station by bus to have supper in the Keelung Temple St Night Market. It was convient to go to Keelung from Chiufen. Spicy hot bean curds, small sausages, and crushed ice there were all delicious. We ended this wonderful day in the big meal.
多虧有遇見那超可愛的小孩
九份真的很漂亮耶！我好喜歡那種感覺
可惜時間不夠附近的景點沒去玩
下次再去玩透徹點吧！
然後再去吃麻辣臭豆腐【回來後整天吵著要吃= =】

原來那家二手書店是"樂伯"而不是"伯樂"
