I recently traveled to Taiwan with Google, and one of the highlights of the trip was a stop in the hillside town of Jiufen, purely to have some fun with the Pixel camera . As part of a photowalk, I spent the day revisiting some of the Pixel 10 Pro XL’s camera tricks and learning new ones from experts on Google’s imaging team. We experimented with different modes and settings, all while soaking in views that practically beg to be photographed. Between the winding mountain paths, lantern-filled streets, and endless visual drama, Jiufen became the perfect playground for capturing some wallpaper-worthy photos.
Not all of the wallpapers here come from Jiufen’s mountain paths, though. Some were shot later in the heart of Raohe Night Market, where Taiwan’s energy shifts gears entirely after dark. Air thick with the smell of pepper buns, grilled meats, and street food, I couldn’t help but whip out the Pixel again for some cool shots that I think will make for fun wallpapers on any phone. The images you see here are some of my personal favorite wallpaper candidates. You can find the rest of the wallpapers I shot in the Google Drive folder link pasted at the end of this article. Hope you like them!
