听过陈绮贞的歌的人一定听过她以九份为背景写的一首歌。当时我还在念中学，听了听，也不知道九份是什么。就单纯的觉得，这位歌手是非主流的歌手。她的音乐让人觉得。。莫名的舒服。现在路过九份，忽然想起当年的这首歌，感触- 良多。
It has been raining cats and dogs, mice and cats, lions and tigers these past few days. A bowl of 'ginger taohuay with yam and sweet pumpkin' is very welcomed.
If you peeps trust my taste in food - (cos im the self proclaimed food connoisseur, mah!)
Well, this bowl of taohuay is a saving grace against the cold winds and peltering rain. 暖到心底！
Scenery of jioufen:


After staying a short while in Jioufen, we took a bus back to taipei.
