'Little Sister' 阿妹 Tea Room Attracts Many Japanese Tourists at Jiao-Fung九份





Jiao-Fung 九份 Mountain City of the Taipei county is my favor place in Taiwan. I have been there three times while I am in Taiwan. I also have written many stories in my blog about Jiao-Fung Mountain City 5 months ago.


May 16, 2009, just one day before the 5-17 march and rally, the boy friend A-Hen 阿賢 of Jau-Fu's daughter took us there by car. He parked a car on a curve near the Jiao-Fung Old Street. We then walked upstairs to the Old Street from the parking place.

We were surprised to see the Jiao-Fung Mountain City from a quite different perspective. Neither Jau-Fu and I had been in this part of the Jiao-Fung Mountain City. We were very delighted. There, we saw an old cinema, a tea house called the 'Little Sister阿妹 Tea House' . The 'Little Sister' Tea House have many tourists, most of them are from Japan. We also stopped at a coffee place. There we were served with the most expensive coffee in Taiwan with NT$200 per cup, approximately US $6.00 per cup which is more expensive than what a Starbucks would charge to the customers in the U.S.
