What You Can Expect
1 Day
- 09:00[Taipei High Speed Rail Station] Meet at the North Gate 2 of Taipei Station and depart.
- 10:20【Yehliu Geopark】Famous for its unique rock formations, Yehliu Geopark is located in Wanli District, New Taipei City. Erosion and weathering by the sea have created a variety of geological features, including weathered rocks, ginger-shaped rocks, sea caves, and sea potholes, forming unique landscapes such as Queen's Head, mushroom rocks, unilateral mountains, fairy shoes, and tofu rocks. Queen's Head is the most famous of these. After visiting Yehliu Geopark, which is like a geology classroom, visitors can head to Yehliu Ocean World to watch a rare dolphin show, then visit Baoan Temple, which enshrines Kai Zhang Sheng Jun and Mazu, for worship. Alternatively, they can enjoy a seafood feast at Dongao Fishing Port and experience various water activities at Emerald Bay to enrich their trip.
- 12:20【Shifen Waterfall】Shifen Waterfall, known as the "Niagara Falls of Taiwan," is a famous and popular natural attraction in Pingxi District, New Taipei City. Located on the upper reaches of the Keelung River, a region known for its numerous waterfalls, the rushing river water cascades down from a great height, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Below, a wide and deep pool is shrouded in mist, which shimmers with rainbow colors under the sunlight, making it a mesmerizing sight and earning it the nickname "Rainbow Pool." This scenic spot has been rated a 1-star attraction by Michelin. Shifen Waterfall and the nearby Eyeglasses Cave Waterfall are both distinctive scenic spots within the Shifen Scenic Area. The old-fashioned Shifen Old Street, full of historical charm, is about a 10-minute walk away. The Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival, held annually during the Lantern Festival, attracts a large number of tourists, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
- 13:30【Shifen Old Street】The Shifen Old Street and Jing'an Suspension Bridge near the train station are popular spots for tourists to stop and take photos. Since Shifen Waterfall is right next to the railway, there's a suspension bridge for viewing the falls; watching the trains from the bridge offers a unique experience. Shifen Waterfall is a curtain-type waterfall, similar to Niagara Falls in North America, hence its nickname "Taiwan's Niagara Falls." The main feature here is that the old street and the railway tracks are connected, allowing you to experience the novelty of "trains passing right in front of you" and the fun of strolling along the tracks. The old street area is lively and diverse; you can even buy a sky lantern to write down your wishes for yourself and your loved ones. The friendly shop owners will not only offer helpful guidance but also teach you how to take beautiful photos with the lantern!
- 14:40[Shifen Station] Take the Pingxi Line train departing from Shifen at 14:40 and arriving at Houtong at 15:00.
- 15:00【Houtong Cat Village】Houtong Cat Village was once recommended by CNN as one of the world's top six cat-watching spots. The cats here are clean and unafraid of people under the care of the residents, making them the best cat models for photos. In addition, to promote the concept of proper cat care and conservation, Houtong Cat Village has also built a "Cat Information Station". The exterior walls are decorated with Q-version cat illustrations designed by illustrators. The interior space has cat walkways and jumping platforms, allowing cats to freely enter and play. The outdoor handwashing stations and cat-themed water fountains allow visitors to observe the cats up close and learn about their habits.
- 16:30【Jiufen Old Street】Jiufen, once known as the "Gold Capital of Asia," is a mountain town on the outskirts of Ruifang District, New Taipei City. Immigrants settled here as early as the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. In the late 19th century, the discovery of placer gold attracted a continuous stream of prospectors, boosting the local economy. At that time, the area's dazzling lights could be seen from Keelung Harbor at night, earning it the nicknames "Little Shanghai" and "Little Hong Kong." Retaining its rustic charm and traditional architecture, Jiufen is now a popular tourist destination in New Taipei City. The quaint Jiufen Old Street, Pengyuan Garden, local delicacies, and guesthouses attract many domestic and international tourists. Visitors can also drive to nearby attractions such as Jinguashi and Shuinandong to enjoy the beautiful scenery of "Jiufen, the Gold Capital of Asia." (On holidays, large passenger vehicles are restricted from entering Jiufen area. Therefore, you need to transfer to a shuttle bus at the New No. 9 Parking Lot. The one-way trip takes about 10 minutes and costs NT$15 per person, totaling NT$30 for a round trip. You need to pay with cash or electronic tickets such as EasyCard.)
