Description
Discover Taiwan’s scenic North Coast on a day trip from Taipei. Visit Yehliu Geopark, Shifen Waterfall, and the mountain town of Jiufen, and launch a sky lantern at Shifen Old Street.
Escape the hustle and bustle of central Taipei and embark on an unforgettable journey through the highlights of Taiwan’s scenic North Coast.
Your adventure begins at Yehliu Geopark, a stunning coastal cape carved by centuries of wind and ocean erosion. Walk along the seaside boardwalks to admire surreal natural rock formations, including the world-famous Queen’s Head, the Fairy’s Shoe, and honeycombed sea candles.
Next, head inland to Shifen Waterfall, a broad, 20-meter-tall cascade surrounded by lush greenery. Known locally as "Taiwan's Little Niagara," it offers beautiful photography opportunities from multiple viewing platforms.
Continue on to Shifen Old Street, where local life revolves around an old coal-transport railway line. Here, participate in a cherished local tradition: paint your heartfelt wishes or goals onto a multi-colored sky lantern and launch it high into the sky above the tracks.
Conclude your day in the fairytale mountain town of Jiufen. Stroll along narrow cobblestone stairways lined with iconic red paper lanterns, vibrant street food stalls, and historic teahouses like the famous A-Mei Teahouse. Sample delicious local treats, enjoy panoramic ocean views from the hillside, and soak in the magical atmosphere before returning comfortably to Taipei.
