hi.. I took a bus from near Sogo if I remember correctly.. Read from a blog: take the MRT to Zhongxiao Fuxing station and there is a bus stop outside Exit 1. It is the Taipei-Jiufen-Jinguashi bus.)... the bus stop is bit hard to find..is right in front of some shop houses..but the bus ride was quite 'scary.. and remember try not to go on weekend.. SUPER DUPER CROWDED!!
Go to Taipei Main Station to take the railway from there to Rueifang Railway Station.
Take a Keelung bus with its destination “基隆†or “å°åŒ—†in LED sign display from Jinguashih bus terminal to Jiufen.
Fare: NT$22
Travel time: About 5 to 10 mins.
Alight at the Old Street stop (7-11 convenience store) along the road bend.
