Houtong Cat Village

The experience

A former coal-mining town that reinvented itself as Taiwan's cat village — over a hundred free-roaming cats, a cat-shaped bridge over the tracks, and preserved mining relics.

A dying coal town literally saved by its cats — the oddball detour Jiufen day-trippers ride straight past.
