Koi Pond in Juifen Old Tea House

Juifen was one of the places I visited during my 10 days vacation in Taiwan. It is located outside Taipei city and is famous for the Juifen Old Street where there are many eating places, including tea houses. Many tea houses are located on the high ground overlooking scenic views (if there is no mist!). One of the must-do activity when visiting Juifen is to have tea in one of the tea house. One of the more prominent tea house in Juifen is the Juifen Old Teahouse.

Upon entry, we are ushered to a cosy room, pass the counter where there are rows of hot steaming water, heated on charcoal fires, and racks of Chinese tea leaves.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a Koi pond inside the Juifen Old Teahouse. What a place to locate a Koi Pond; right below the stair well of this 2 storey house.
There were a few Koi, not the best looking Koi I must say. Skinny and underfed which is not too surprising. But what I like about this indoor Koi pond or water feature is its location beneath the stair well and how is the decorated.


Old mill stones are stacked to form a small but tall water cascade running down from the top of the stair well to the pond below. Nice interior design concept for those who wants to have a koi pond indoor.
