Northeast Taiwan

I am hoping to visit many of the surrounding places in Northeast Taiwan. Can someone give me an idea of how I would get from Nanya to Jioufen (also Jinguashi and Bitou Cape) by public transport? What makes the most sense? I am hoping to find a B%26amp;B or hotel in Jioufen to stay overnight...any rec%26#39;s would also be appreciate. Only a few more weeks before I%26#39;m in Taiwan!!

The names of the designated bus stops are indicated on the route map.

Before visiting Nanya (89km mark on the coastal highway), you may want to include a visit to Bisha Fishing Port / Tourist Market along the bus route. Bitou Cape is 2 stops away from Nanya.

After your Bitou Cape visit, board the same Keelung bus but from opposite bus stop. Alight at “Shui-nan-tong” stop (approx 6 km from Bitou Cape). See Yin Yang Hai (陰陽海) -- Twin Color Sea and the nearby remains of the thirteen levels (a 13-storey old mining factory) and the abandoned smoke vents lying on the hills. Walk to the bus terminal in Shui-nan-tong (near the open car park). Board another Keelung bus to Jinguashih, approx 3 km inland from the coastal road. The bus passes Golden Waterfalls (黄金瀑布) and winding county road (S-spot) before reaching Jinguashih. Jiufen is approx 2.5 km away from Jinguashih.
