Itinerary

Yin Yang Sea

Watch the bay where the sea is a mix of yellow and blue before heading to Jiufen.

10 minutes
Jinguashi 13 Ruins

The Remains of the 13 Levels is a former smelter plant in Lianxin Village, Ruifang District, New Taipei, Taiwan. It is also called the Potala Palace of Mountain Mines.

10 minutes
Golden Waterfall

Golden Waterfall is located in Jinguashi. Although real gold flowing from these falls would be too good to be true, the water is certainly a beautiful gold color as a result of the combination of regular rainfall in this mining area and the abundance of heavy metal elements deposited in the riverbed.

10 minutes
Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street)

With an unmatched old town atmosphere and seaside flair, Jiufen is a must see spot when visiting northern Taiwan. Always teeming with tourists, you might notice that Japanese people make up a huge proportion of the crowds gathered. Many are keen to catch a glimpse of the setting of Hayao Miyazaki's Academy Award winning “Spirited Away”, especially the iconic red lanterns. This is also a film mecca for lovers of Taiwanese film, especially fans of Hou Hsiao-hsien's “A City of Sadness”, which utilized Jiufen as the backdrop to the events of the 228 Incident. Given Hou’s recent award of Best Director in the 2015 International Cannes Film Festival for his new film “The Assassin”, we expect even more people will make their way here in years to come.

1 hour 30 minutes
Shifen Waterfall

Shifen Waterfall is the most renowned cascading waterfall in Taiwan. The watercourse is from Keelung River, height 20 m. (66 ft.) and width 40 m. (131 ft.).

40 minutes
Shifen Old Street

Shifen Old Street is a bustling hub for those eager to get a glimpse of an old railroad town which still retains the charm of yesteryear. Originally built to transport coal, the Shifen Old Street stop has now become one of the most popular on the Pingxi rail-line. It is easy to see why so many are drawn here - local food, souvenir shops and puffing trains add to the charm of this little gem, as well as make it a fantastic place for photography.

Fantastic guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

I have always wanted to visit jiufen and shifen, but public transportation to both these sites was overwhelming to figure out. Hiring Nicolas was the best choice that I made for this trip. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Taiwan and the history of the places we were visiting. He also pointed out all the amazing food. He also knew all the shortcuts/ prime photo locations/ and least crowded areas. Best of all, I’m a tea lover and he not only brought us to the amei tea house but he also brought us to see his long time tea shop friend who had the most delicious tea that I’ve ever tried! Would highly recommend!

Waterfalls

Great tour guide! We enjoyed the waterfalls! He took to a great place to eat with a view! The small towns were beautiful!

Outside taipei experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Allen is very friendly, helpful knows the place. Able to converse well. Would love to use him again. Accommodates and attentive to the clients needs.

5/5!

Published on Jan, 2025

We did the half day tour to Jiufen, Shifen Waterfall and the Pingxi Sky Lantern. Our tour guide and driver was Hicks Wang and he was excellent! We recommend booking your tour with him.

5 ⭐️ - Loved it

Published on Jan, 2025

Shifen and Juifen old town were very scenic and beautiful. Great for photography and the lantern painting and lighting was a great experience. The tour provides an excellent trip outside of Taipei for a break from the city. Our tour guide Alex was friendly and passionate and told us loads about the history of the area and Taiwan’s rich culture and history. Would definitely recommend for anyone in Taipei for a few days to see a bit more of the region than just the city.
