春節連假期間，根據其它媒體報導指出，來九份旅遊的遊客增加不少！記者實際走訪現場，停留時間大約三小時左右，經過粗略觀察與訪談當地業者發現，韓團確實有增加，但實際在春節假期，東南亞的遊客甚至更多，連在地業者也是如此表示。一位受訪的店員指出，為何會有這麼多東南亞的散客前來遊玩，不難發現其這些大多是在台灣的東南亞移工，藉由農曆春節假期呼朋引伴，一起前來九份旅遊，若真的東南亞觀光客，光從身上的打扮就會發現根本地東南亞移工不太一樣。觀光客身上所帶的配件比較符合旅遊的打扮，但本地移工明顯就是熟門熟路，甚至輕裝打扮之際，直接用中文對談，這部分相當容易辨識，在消費習慣上也明顯不同。觀光客比較會購買紀念品，移工就以逛街吃小吃為主要行程。

大眾運輸： 從台北市區搭乘基隆客運或台北客運，在「九份老街」站下車，車程約1.5-2小時，班次頻繁，方便快捷。例如從捷運忠孝復興站2號出口搭乘1062號公車直達九份，從首忠孝捷運站至九份老街，車程約90分鐘，票價約101元，如果要去金瓜石也是搭這班公車，不過編輯提醒1062號公車是固定班次，搭乘前別忘了先查一下1062時刻表。另外一條路線是台北客運965「板橋-金瓜石」線，965號從板橋府中捷運站發車，途中經過捷運西門站跟台北車站，上車地點比較多元，尖峰發車間隔約30-40分，離峰時間約40-60分鐘，從板橋到瑞芳、金瓜石跟九份搭車時間約60-80分，票價約90元，搭車前往前編輯建議大家可以先參考965動態路線圖確認一下等待時間。
自行開車： 建議停放在九份停車場，步行至老街，約需10-15分鐘。 週末及假日停車位相當緊張，務必提早規劃。
包車： 適合多人旅行，省時省力，可依需求安排行程，甚至規劃到周邊景點，例如金瓜石、平溪等。

【美食推薦：舌尖上的九份之旅】九份的美食，絕對是旅程中不可或缺的一部分！

芋圓： 阿柑姨芋圓和賴阿婆芋圓都是九份芋圓的代表，口感Q彈，香氣濃郁，是必嚐的經典小吃。
草仔粿： 阿蘭草仔粿是另一項不容錯過的美食，皮Q餡飽滿，滋味獨特。
茶坊： 在山城裡選擇一間茶坊，品茗賞景，感受九份的慢活步調。阿妹茶樓、海悅樓等都是不錯的選擇。
昇平戲院餐廳： 以戲院為主題的餐廳，提供精緻的台灣料理，在懷舊的氛圍中享用餐點。
海鮮餐廳： 九份的海鮮也非常新鮮美味，可以選擇臨海的餐廳，一邊欣賞海景一邊享用美食。

【住宿推薦：體驗山城夜色】

九份的住宿選擇多元，從充滿懷舊氛圍的民宿到現代化的飯店，都能滿足您的需求。推薦選擇能欣賞九份夜景的民宿，讓您在夜晚也能享受山城的魅力。

【貼心小提醒：玩得更盡興】

九份老街人潮眾多，尤其是週末假日，建議平日前往或避開尖峰時段。
九份老街的路面多為石板路和階梯，穿著舒適的鞋子較為方便。
部分店家可能不接受信用卡支付，建議攜帶足夠的現金。
做好防曬措施，並攜帶雨具，以應付天候變化。
準備好來一趟九份山城之旅了嗎？ 不同的季節與氣候，都能體會到不同的九份故事！
