The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the three major Chinese traditional holidays, falling every year on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The festival indicates the start of the fifth month, during the transitional phase between spring and summer when various diseases begin to spread. The ancients believed ghosts and spirits brought about the sicknesses, so they carried small fragrant sachets, or hang mugwort and calamus up on their doors to ward off evil spirits and survive the season in peace.

Decades ago, Jiufen was a magnificent city abounds in gold ores and bathed in glory. Jiufen’s development history is wrought with stories of the gold-mining anecdotes; resulting gold rush hastened the village's development into a town. Yet its luster began to fade with the decline of gold mining activities. During its peak, goldminers were liberal with their easily gained money, and the town was the symbol of luxury and extravagance, replicating the bustle and boom of Shanghai, hence the name, the mini-Shanghai. Yet with the depletion of gold in the mid-1960’s, the population started to shrink, and the gold-mining business also faded into history. As a result, many wandering artists looking for creative ideas came to Jiufen to explore new artistic possibilities. They frequented the retro-Chinese style teahouses to enjoy a cup of warm tea and reflect upon the old days, and Jiufen, a long-forgotten mountain town, began to move forward in the river of time.
On the other side of the mountain is Jinguashi, originally a gold mining town; copper mines were also discovered here. Qitang Road is the biggest shopping street in Jinguashi, selling a lot of sundry goods. In contrast to Jiufen, a place that has recovered its old-time appeal, Jinguashi kept to its element.
