Most people take the train out to Ruifang where they have regular taxi service out there.

I do find that for the photography I do I really should invest in a wider-angle prime. Unfortunately, those are a bit pricier.

Yes a prime lens is a must. I have a 50mm 1.8 lens for my Nikon and its great! If you have the Nikon, go for the 1.8 lens, its pretty inexpensive at about $125USD. I’ll be planning a cycle trip to Jiufen sometime soon hopefully! Cheers

It is the Taipei-Jiufen-Jinguashi bus. I believe it leaves every half an hour or so. I forget how much the fare is, but it is pretty inexpensive.

To answer your question Sandy, yes she was carrying her cat around the streets of Jiufen. I know my cat in the US would be too pissed off from the ride to take part in being carried through a crowded street. But I guess this cat and woman aren’t too weird, in Nantou I saw a girl walking her rabbit around town on a leash.
