FAQ
Releasing a sky lantern in Shifen is a deeply cultural and picturesque experience. Visitors purchase a lantern, typically a large, colorful paper lantern, and write their wishes, hopes, and prayers on its sides. With the assistance of local vendors, the lantern is carefully lit and then released into the night sky, symbolizing good fortune and aspirations floating upwards. The activity often takes place on the active railway tracks, offering unique photo opportunities as lanterns drift into the distance against the backdrop of the old street.
Yeliu Geopark is famous for its distinctive natural rock formations shaped by unique geological processes and erosion. Key sights include the iconic "Queen's Head," a mushroom-shaped rock resembling Queen Elizabeth II's profile, and the "Candle Holder Rocks." Visitors can also observe numerous "Mushroom Rocks," "Ginger Rocks," and "Sea-Eroded Holes," creating a landscape that resembles an outdoor sculpture garden. These formations are a testament to millennia of wind and wave erosion.
Jiufen is renowned for its charming, narrow alleyways and rich history. The main attraction is Jiufen Old Street, bustling with traditional tea houses, local street food stalls, and artisan shops. Visitors can explore the iconic A-Mei Tea House, often cited as an inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away," and enjoy panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains. Many also seek out traditional Taiwanese snacks and souvenirs while wandering the atmospheric streets.
For the sky lantern release activity itself in Shifen, visitors typically spend around 30 to 60 minutes. This duration includes selecting a lantern, writing wishes, and the process of lighting and releasing it. This allows ample time for photos and to soak in the unique atmosphere of the Shifen Old Street and its active railway tracks, creating memorable moments.
Besides the popular sky lantern release, Shifen offers other charming attractions. The majestic Shifen Waterfall, often called "Taiwan's Niagara Falls," is a highlight, featuring a wide cascade in a beautiful setting. Shifen Old Street itself is worth exploring, with shops selling local crafts, souvenirs, and traditional snacks. The historic Suspension Bridge also provides picturesque views of the Keelung River and the surrounding lush greenery.
The most atmospheric time to visit Jiufen, especially for photography and soaking in its unique charm, is during the late afternoon into the evening. As dusk settles, the numerous red lanterns that adorn the streets begin to glow, creating a magical, nostalgic ambiance. This period offers stunning views of the illuminated town against the twilight sky and the sparkling lights of the coastline below, providing exceptional photo opportunities.
