Taipei: Jiufen, Shifen, & Keelung Miaokou Night Market Tour｜Taiwan

Leave the busy streets of Taipei behind and enjoy a magical afternoon and evening journey through northern Taiwan. This private tour combines scenic landscapes, a meaningful sky lantern experience, charming old streets, and one of Taiwan’s most famous street-food destinations.

Your private driver-guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Taipei at approximately 2:00 PM. Begin the tour at Shifen Waterfall, one of Taiwan’s most impressive waterfalls. Follow the easy walking trail and enjoy the refreshing scenery before continuing to nearby Shifen Old Street.

At Shifen Old Street, walk alongside the historic railway tracks, write your wishes on a colorful sky lantern, and release it into the sky. Whether you wish for good health, success, love, or simply another holiday in Taiwan, this is one of the most memorable activities on any first-time Taiwan itinerary.

As evening approaches, continue to Jiufen Old Street, a hillside village famous for its narrow lanes, red lanterns, traditional tea houses, and sweeping mountain-and-sea views. Jiufen becomes especially atmospheric after sunset, when its glowing alleys create a nostalgic and cinematic mood. Take your time exploring the old street and sample local treats such as taro balls, herbal rice cakes, and Taiwanese tea.

The final stop is Keelung Miaokou Night Market, located around Dianji Temple in Taiwan’s historic port city of Keelung. This lively food market is known for its glowing lanterns, temple atmosphere, and tempting selection of local snacks. Try Keelung-style dishes such as charcoal-grilled sandwiches, bubble ice, seafood, and other street-food favorites.

After your night market visit, relax in your private vehicle as your driver-guide takes you back to your accommodation in Taipei.
