Description

Explore northern Taiwan’s top sights on a guided day trip from Taipei, with convenient pickup in downtown Taipei. Travel in a group to must-see destinations including Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen, Shifen Waterfall, and Shifen Old Street. Start at Yehliu Geopark, famous for dramatic coastal rock formations shaped by wind and sea. See iconic spots like Queen’s Head, Sea Candles, Fairy Shoe, Ginger Rocks, and Elephant Rock, plus more unique scenery along the shoreline. Continue to the hillside village of Jiufen, once a gold-mining town and now one of Taiwan’s most popular destinations. Wander atmospheric lanes, sample local snacks, browse for souvenirs, and consider stopping at a teahouse for views and freshly brewed tea—don’t miss taro balls, a classic Jiufen dessert. Next, visit Shifen Waterfall, often called Taiwan’s “Little Niagara,” with multiple viewing platforms for different angles and close-up photo opportunities.
