Description
Escape the city and discover the breathtaking beauty of Taiwan's northeast coast on this full-day guided tour from Taipei. Travel in comfort as you visit some of the region's most iconic natural wonders, historic landmarks, and charming mountain villages.
Begin your journey at Yehliu Geopark, home to extraordinary rock formations shaped by thousands of years of wind and sea erosion. Walk along the coastal trails and admire famous natural sculptures, including the world-renowned Queen's Head.
Continue to the scenic Golden Waterfall, where mineral-rich water creates striking golden-colored cascades. Along the way, enjoy views of the Yin-Yang Sea and the historic Thirteen Levels Ruins, once an important copper refining site that tells the story of Taiwan's mining heritage.
Next, explore the enchanting streets of Jiufen Old Street, a former gold mining town perched on the mountainside. Wander through narrow alleyways lined with traditional teahouses, local snack vendors, and souvenir shops while taking in spectacular views of the Pacific coastline.
In the afternoon, visit Shifen Waterfall, often called Taiwan's 'Little Niagara' for its impressive horseshoe-shaped cascade. Finish your adventure in Shifen Old Street, a lively railway town where trains still pass through the center of the street. Browse local shops, sample Taiwanese street food, or take part in the famous sky lantern tradition (at your own expense) before returning comfortably to Taipei.
Perfect for travelers who want to experience Taiwan's most famous northeast attractions in a single unforgettable day.
