Wildlife
History
Jiufen and nearby Jinguashi grew during north Taiwan’s gold and copper mining era; remnants of mines and mining waterflows still color local streams and landscapes.
Conservation
Heavy visitation and fragile coastal geology make staying on trails and avoiding litter important; the Yinyang Sea’s coloration is linked to historic mining runoff, so minimize disturbance to estuaries.
