Overview

Take a full-day tour of the highlights of the Northeast Coast including Yehliu Geopark, Golden Waterfall, Jiufen Old Street, Shifen Waterfall and Shifen Old Street. A shared tour operated in a small-group of no more than 8 people and includes round-trip transportation from your accommodation in Taipei City.

Itinerary

  • YehLiu Geopark

    Yehliu Geological Park (野柳地質公園) resides within a cape 1.7km long and is home to some of the most famous eroded rock formations in the world.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Golden Waterfall

    Golden Waterfall is located near the Gold Ecological Park (黃金博物園區) in Jinguashi. Although real gold flowing from these falls would be too good to be true, the water is certainly a beautiful gold color as a result of the combination of regular rainfall in this mining area and the abundance of heavy metal elements deposited in the riverbed.

    10 minutes

  • Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street)

    With an unmatched old town atmosphere and seaside flair, Jiufen (九份) is a must see spot when visiting northern Taiwan. Always teeming with tourists, you might notice that Japanese people make up a huge proportion of the crowds gathered. Many are keen to catch a glimpse of the setting of Hayao Miyazaki's Academy Award winning “Spirited Away”, especially the iconic red lanterns. This is also a film mecca for lovers of Taiwanese film, especially fans of Hou Hsiao-hsien's “A City of Sadness” (悲情城市), which utilized Jiufen as the backdrop to the events of the 228 Incident. Given Hou’s recent award of Best Director in the 2015 International Cannes Film Festival for his new film “The Assassin”, we expect even more people will make their way here in years to come.

    2 hours

  • Shifen Waterfall

    Shifen Waterfall (十分瀑布) is the most renowned cascading waterfall in Taiwan.

    40 minutes

  • Shifen Old Street

    Shifen Old Street is a bustling hub for those eager to get a glimpse of an old railroad town which still retains the charm of yesteryear. Originally built to transport coal, the Shifen Old Street stop has now become one of the most popular on the Pingxi rail-line. It is easy to see why so many are drawn here - local food, souvenir shops and puffing trains add to the charm of this little gem, as well as make it a fantastic place for photography.

10 hr tour and best bang for your dollar

Published on Jan, 2025

What a deal! $113 CDN for the wife and I. Mind you it was a Mandarin speaking driver and I don’t speak Mandarin. Wife speaks very little. Communication worked out well with the help of Google Translate. It was supposed to be a group tour of up to 8, but only 2 others booked and they cancelled the morning of because one was sick. So we basically got a private tour. English driver would have been twice as much. Hit all the hotspots for photos, culture and food in Taiwan in 10 hours. Good safe, patient and pleasant driver. Every location was amazing! This was a 18 day vacation and this was our last day of the vacation, wicked turned out to be the best day of our vacation. Driver showed 15 minutes early to pick us up, We were 1 hr early waiting, but always happy to see any kind of service show up early. 1. Yehliu Geopark 2. Golden Waterfall 3. Juifen Old Street 4. Shifen Waterfalls 5. Shifen Old Street / Pingxi Old Street This tour is a must and comes highly recommended for anyone going to Taiwan. You won’t find a better deal.

Outstanding tour of Northern Taiwan

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent well-paced itinerary. Knowledgable, careful and helpful driver. Comfortable car. We shared the tour with a couple from Singapore, who fortunately spoke Chinese and English, which helped a lot, since our driver spoke very little English. Well worth the cost.

Great full day out!

Published on Nov, 2024

Martin more than delivered. We met at 830 and we were out until after 7 when he returned us to our hotel. Small group. Just 4 of us so very personalized. He didn’t rush us , and took us to a number of out of the way spots to eat . The places are beautiful ( go on a clear day) .. full value.

Magical Day, Thoughtfully Curated

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a lovely day with Martin — who was truly one of the most thoughtful guides, ever. From stopping to grab us dumplings on the way to the Geopark, to providing walking sticks to help us around the Falls’ more slippery areas, even to procuring a special lunch for the vegetarian in our group, or making sure we tried Taipei specialties throughout the day. Martin is also extremely knowledgeable about Taipei’s history and geography. We highly recommend.
