Description
The Thousand Island Lake and its verdant islets on a guided tour from Taipei. Visit the Crocodile Island Viewing Platform, enjoy lunch at the Bagua Tea Plantation, and explore Shiding Old Street.
Begin your private tour at the Thousand Island Lake Viewing Platform, voted one of Taiwan’s "Eight Secret Wonders" by CNN. Located upstream of the Feitsui Reservoir, this spot features emerald waters dotted with countless verdant islets. In the early morning, mist often drapes over the mountains, creating a stunning ink-wash painting effect—perfect for photography.
Next, head to the Crocodile Island Viewing Platform, a unique geological formation where the mountain ridge resembles a crocodile basking in the lake. Enjoy multi-angle views of secluded lake bays. This is a hidden, crowd-free photo spot away from standard tour groups.
Continue to the Bagua Tea Plantation for a lunch break. Admire the iconic spiral terraced tea fields resembling a giant fingerprint—a masterpiece of mountain aesthetics. Enjoy a relaxing lunch here featuring local cold-brew tea and healthy camellia oil cuisine. The Japanese-style, healing vibe makes for beautiful pastoral shots.
Then, visit the Tuhsitou Viewing Platform, which boasts a deep perspective of the lake bay with rich mountainous layers. Get up close to the reservoir’s winding waterways. Includes a short, easy walk on a gentle trail suitable for all fitness levels.
Finish your tour at Shiding Old Street and Bujiantian Street, a century-old hillside town featuring the unique "Bujiantian" (No-Sky) arcade, built to shield pedestrians from the sun and rain. Explore local hand-pulled noodles, traditional snacks, and creative cultural shops to experience the authentic charm of this New Taipei mountain village.
