九份

Recently read an article in the chinese papers using 九份 as the main subject. I went to Taiwan recently and visited the place myself. It is indeed a picturesque town situated on top of a mountain.

九份 became a famous tourist attraction when a movie,悲情城市 or A City of Sadness was made with it as the backdrop. A City of Sadness vividly describes the sentiments one have in Jiu Fen. Due to its geographical location, the weather there is most unpredictable. It could be sunny or cloudy and then before you know it, light drizzle fall from the sky. In fact Jiu Fen is covered in light drizzle most of the time, hence, melancholy is almost synonymous with the city.

陈绮贞 sang a song, 九份的咖啡店, which appropriately describes the place. It is really a wonderful place, i have already made a mental note to visit it again =)

曲名：九份的咖啡店 歌手：陈绮贞

这里的景色像你 变化莫测
这样的午后 我坐在九份的马路边
这里的空气 很新鲜
这里的感觉 很特别
仰望这片天空 遥寄我对你的思念

窗外的星空像你 嬉笑不眠
这样的午夜 我坐在九份的咖啡店
这里的街道 有点改变
这里的人群 喧闹整夜
望着朦胧的海岸线 是否还能回到从前

昨日的单纯 今天的实际
想你 而你也早已不是你
我的心是一杯调和过的咖啡
怀念着往日单薄的青草味
(怀念着往日的坚持
和现在你我的改变)

窗外的景色像你 没什么道理
这样的午后 我在忠孝东路的咖啡店
这里的街道 有点危险
这里的人群 面无表情
想问你 也问问自己 是否还会记得从前
