Description

We will pick you up at your hotel in Taipei and travel to the north coast of Taiwan by minibus.

Our first stop will be Yehliu, a geological park known for its unique rock formations shaped by centuries of sea erosion. These include formations named "Dragon's Head" and "Queen's Shoe."

Next, we will visit the Shifen Waterfall, also known as the Little Niagara of Taiwan. This natural wonder stands 20 meters (65 feet) high and 40 meters (131 feet) wide, offering a stunning view.

Our journey continues to the picturesque town of Jiufen, which provides views of the Pacific coast. Jiufen has a vibrant market on its main street where local delicacies such as pineapple candy and meat and rice dumplings can be sampled.

In Jiufen, you will visit workshops of skilled artisans and explore a traditional tea house in the alleys adorned with red lanterns. This village’s atmosphere is reminiscent of Spirited Away, invoking the magic of Studio Ghibli films.
