Jioufen Teahouse Tea｜Pottery Crafts

Jioufen in the 1990s was silent due to the end of
gold mining. The opening of "Jioufen Teahouse"
at the 100-year old house awaked the sleeping
historical mountain city.

Jioufen, the old golden mountain city, again attracts the attention of the world due to the appearance of its first tea house which not only introduced the tea house culture to Jioufen but the recreational activity of "having a cup of tea in Jioufen." Led by "Competition," tea house owners have tried their best to build unique shops and in this small mining settlement, Jioufen, there are more than two dozens of special tea houses.
