The location is a bit high up, but it's not hard to find! Once you find the shop, you can buy online and redeem instantly, which is very convenient! There are many seats, and the elevated position allows you to eat at your own pace. It's cheap and delicious!
We set off from Taichung, and it started drizzling as we approached Taipei, meaning we had to use umbrellas to see the Yin-Yang Sea and Golden Waterfall. By the time we reached Jiufen, we were already wearing raincoats. Little did we know that Shifen would be even more spectacular – our shoes were completely soaked! 😂😂😂
We were blessed with perfect weather and were able to tour efficiently. We traveled in a minibus with six people, which was spacious and smooth. The guide also explained a lot, but I felt like I could have understood more if my Japanese level had been a little higher. It was difficult to understand the historical parts... Still, it was a tour worth going on.
I visited on October 31, 2025. My reservation was for the evening, so it was a bit chilly and I needed a jacket. The staff were very friendly, the tea was delicious, and I had a wonderful time. I'd definitely like to visit again next time.
