Step by Step
Experience a full day of natural scenery, history and local traditions with this guided tour from Taipei combining some of northern Taiwan's most iconic sites: Yehliu, Jiufen and Shifen.
Your adventure begins with a visit to the Yehliu Geopark, a stunning coastal landscape formed by wind and sea erosion. Here you can admire the famous rock formations with whimsical shapes, such as the iconic Queen's Head, a symbol of the area. This geological setting is also a paradise for photographers.
Next stop is Jiufen, a former mining town that has become one of the country's most picturesque destinations. Its cobblestone streets and traditional houses offer a nostalgic atmosphere that inspired films such as Spirited Away. Stroll among red lanterns, sample local delicacies such as tea and taro cakes, and enjoy spectacular views of the hills and the sea.
Finally, you will reach Shifen, famous for its charming railway and the tradition of throwing paper lanterns into the sky. Write your wishes on one of them and let it fly, following the Taiwanese custom to attract good luck and prosperity.
Throughout the tour, a professional guide will share curiosities, legends and the history of each place, making this tour a complete and fascinating cultural experience.
