one of the most magical places 🏮✨— this is Jiufen (九份), about an hour from Taipei, you can explore hidden alleys, tea shops and delicious local food on streets that feel like they’re out of a Studio Ghibli movie. Does this feel like Spirited Away to you? 🐉

𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘑𝘪𝘶𝘧𝘦𝘯!
➣ you can take the train from Taipei Main Station to Ruifang Station, from there you can take a bus or cab up to Jiufen, this will take a little over an hour
➣ you can take a taxi from Taipei, this will take about an hour
➣ the cabs can’t go through the narrow alleys, so you’ll be dropped at the main station of the town and need to walk down
➣ we recommend staying over night! it’s lovely to spend the day here, watch the sunset and the lanterns turn on. Jiufen can get busy, so it’s nice if you’re staying overnight to be able to explore later with less people
➣ definitely go to a tea house here! drinking tea here is an experience here and really beautiful overlooking the scenery

we moved our parents into their dream home!! — the most daunting project we’ve ever done, but also the most rewarding 🫶

our parents have both given us so much, and this is our way to show appreciation for all they’ve done for us. 🙏

social media doesn’t always share the real life challenges we can face, and for us, this has been a goal of ours for years.

thank you to everyone who’s supported us over the years and continues to support, this would not be possible without you guys. 🥹💘

we vlogged the entire process, before, after + the big reveal to our parents! we hope you guys enjoy the video, link in bio ☺️

vibes but we live in a chinese drama and the warlords been defeated [it’s a filler episode] 😂

📍: Wangxian Valley

#chinatrip #wangxianvalley #pursuitofjade #nomlifechina

a door that felt like stepping into spirited away🏮.°˖✧

wangxian valley is 3 hour trip from shanghai built into the mountainside that feels like stepping back to a moment in time; with street stalls, tons of narrow alleys to explore, hikes, and hanfu rentals (which i low key wanted to keep). we spent 2 days here, but still didn’t have time to explore everything!

this to us is what travel is all about— meeting the people, and taking time to be a part of the places you go to. 🥹

ran into these two uncles on a street in shanghai who invited us to drink tea and smoke cigarettes with them, wound up being one of our favorite afternoons in shanghai

best 10 minute hike we’ve done so far 😌— although the incline up is steeeep, they actually offer moped rides up the incline but that looked more scary lol
