From Taipei: Jiufen & Shifen Private Day Trip with Driver

Explore Jiufen and Shifen on a private day trip from Taipei. Visit Shifen Waterfall, release a sky lantern, and wander through Jiufen's charming alleyways with a driver who speaks English or Japanese.
Begin your journey with a visit to Shifen Waterfall, often referred to as the "Little Niagara of Taiwan." Surrounded by lush mountains and scenic walking paths, the waterfall offers breathtaking views and is one of the most photogenic natural attractions in Northern Taiwan. Enjoy a leisurely stroll and capture memorable photos before continuing to the next destination.

Next, arrive at Shifen Old Street, famous for its traditional railway running through the middle of the town and its unforgettable sky lantern experience. Write your wishes on a colorful lantern and release it into the sky—a unique Taiwanese tradition loved by visitors from around the world. You'll also have time to browse local souvenir shops and taste popular Taiwanese snacks while watching trains pass directly through the old street.

The highlight of the tour is Jiufen Old Street, one of Taiwan's most iconic mountain villages. Unlike many standard tours that only allow a short visit, this itinerary gives you up to three full hours to explore at your own pace. Wander through the nostalgic streets, admire spectacular mountain and ocean views, visit historic tea houses, enjoy famous taro balls, browse local handicrafts, or simply relax while soaking in the unique atmosphere that has attracted travelers from all over the world.

At each destination, your driver will introduce the highlights, explain what to see and do, recommend popular local specialties, and then give you ample free time to explore independently. This balance allows you to enjoy helpful local guidance without sacrificing your personal travel experience.
