Itinerary

  • Jiufen Old Street

    Enter Jiufen, the whimsical hillside town where narrow alleys lead to unexpected discoveries and staircases twist like a labyrinth. Follow your nose to the aroma of sizzling street snacks, where culinary adventures await around every corner. Feel like you've stepped into a Miyazaki film as you navigate through the bustling crowds and charming tea houses. From quirky souvenirs to breathtaking views, Jiufen promises laughter, surprises, and memories that will make your cheeks ache from smiling.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Shifen Waterfall

    Prepare for nature's grand spectacle at Shifen Waterfall! Feel the misty spray tickle your nose as you approach this majestic cascade. It's like Mother Nature's way of saying, "Hey, want a shower?" With its thunderous roar and breathtaking beauty, Shifen Waterfall is the ultimate power move in the world of waterfalls. So grab your raincoat and get ready for a wild ride – just don't forget to bring a towel for Mother Nature's post-show high-five!

    40 minutes

  • Shifen Old Street

    Wander through quaint lanes lined with traditional shops and snack stalls, then release your worries (and a sky lantern) into the heavens. It's a magical experience that lights up the night and leaves lasting memories.

    1 hour

  • Yin Yang Sea

    Yin Yang Sea is a quirky, color-changing coastline that looks like it's straight out of a psychedelic dream. One minute it's golden like the sun, the next it's as blue as the sky – it's like Mother Nature's mood ring! Prepare for a hilarious journey of optical illusions and baffling beauty as you witness this nature-made marvel. Trust us, you won't believe your eyes!

    30 minutes

  • Golden Waterfall

    Witness the shimmering cascade and be awestruck as it reveals its glittering glory – no pirate's treasure chest could rival this! With water that gleams like liquid gold, you might be tempted to take a dip, but alas, no leprechaun's pot lies at the end of this rainbow. So, snap some photos, bask in the brilliance, and remember: all that glitters... might just be water!

Keelung and Taipei

James was a great guide! He showed us two awesome waterfalls, and we had an amazing buffet lunch at the Grand hotel in Taipei. We chatted about the area's history and TSMC. His English was pretty good.

Wonderful Day!

Excellent experience! Our guide was great and tailored the trip to what we wanted to see. The sky lantern was very fun! Juifen was fun to explore all the shops and beautiful views from the mountain.

Highly recommend! Asin the best guide!

Asin was an amazing tour guide. Our family really enjoyed the excursion and learning about Taiwan. We highly recommend this tour to experience Jiufen and Shifen area. We even stopped to try the best pineapple cakes! One of the best tours I’ve been on ever!
