Description

1. Shifen Old Street Meet your tour guide at MRT Xingtian Temple Station, then head to Pingxi. Shifen Old Street, the largest and busiest along the Pingxi Railway line, is famous for sky lanterns. Visitors can enjoy delicious local snacks, take in scenic views, and learn about the area’s coal mining history. 2. Golden Waterfall Golden Waterfall features a ledge-type cascade with unique anticline rock formations that appear to flow against the current. When sunlight hits the mist, a stunning rainbow often forms above the falls or pool, adding to its magical atmosphere. 3. Yin-Yang Sea Located near the Golden Waterfall, Yin-Yang Sea is a natural wonder where yellowish mineral-laden water from the mountains mixes with deep blue seawater, creating a striking two-tone contrast that amazes visitors year-round. 4. Jiufen Old Street Jiufen Old Street winds along a hillside and is lined with shops and food stalls offering classic Taiwanese snacks like taro balls, meatballs, and mugwort rice cakes. The area also boasts antique toys, unique souvenirs, and charming alleys with picturesque views from every corner.
