Description

Begin your journey from Taipei or Keelung and discover Taiwan’s northeast coast on a private day tour filled with dramatic coastlines, mountain villages, waterfalls, and cultural landmarks. Start at Yehliu Geopark, a famous coastal landscape shaped by wind and sea erosion over thousands of years. Walk among unique rock formations, including the iconic Queen’s Head, set against sweeping ocean views. Continue to Zhengbin Fishing Harbor, known for its colorful waterfront houses and relaxed seaside atmosphere, offering one of the region’s most photogenic coastal scenes. Visit Heping Island Park, where wave-carved rock formations, natural sea pools, and dramatic ocean cliffs create one of northern Taiwan’s most scenic coastal landscapes. Head inland to Golden Waterfall and the Yin Yang Sea, where mineral-rich waters create striking colors contrasting against the surrounding coastline. Arrive in Jiufen Old Street, a historic mountain village filled with lantern-lit alleys, traditional tea houses, local snacks, and panoramic views over the mountains and ocean. Continue to Shifen, a charming railway town where trains pass directly through the old street. Experience the famous sky lantern tradition before exploring the peaceful riverside surroundings.
