A UNESCO World Heritage potential site boasts a gold mine and Teapot Mountain

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Nestled in the northeast of Taiwan, backed by the Snow Mountain Range and facing the Pacific Ocean, the northeastern coastline enjoys an exceptional geographical location and also hosts a significant gold mining area — truly a place blessed by nature. Nestled in Jiufen, the Earless Teapot Mountain earned its name due to its resemblance to a teapot without handles, and has become a key landmark in Jiufen. It is specially introduced here because from the top of Teapot Mountain, you can overlook the Yin-Yang Sea, Keelung Mountain, and the entire Jiufen area, making it a potential UNESCO World Heritage site.
