What You Can Expect
1 Day
- 09:00【THSR Taipei Station】Gather and depart from North Gate 2 of Taipei Main Station.
- 10:20【Yehliu Geopark】Famous for its unique rock formations, Yehliu Geopark is located in Wanli District, New Taipei City. Influenced by seawater erosion and weathering, the area features a variety of geological landscapes such as weathered rocks, ginger-shaped stones, sea caves, and potholes. These have formed peculiar sights like the Queen's Head, mushroom rocks, cuesta, fairy shoes, and tofu rocks, with the Queen's Head being the most famous. After visiting the 'geological classroom' of Yehliu Geopark, visitors can head to Yehliu Ocean World to watch rare dolphin performances, visit Bao'an Temple to pay respects to Kai Zhang Sheng Jun and Mazu, enjoy fresh seafood at Dong'ao Fishing Port, or experience various water activities at Green Bay to enrich your trip.
- 12:20【Shifen Waterfall】Known as 'Taiwan's Niagara Falls,' Shifen Waterfall is a famous natural attraction in Pingxi District, New Taipei City. Located on the upper reaches of the Keelung River, which is home to many waterfalls, the rushing water cascades down from a height, creating a breathtaking and magnificent scene. The mist from the deep pool below often catches the sunlight, creating colorful rainbows, which is why it is also called 'Rainbow Pond.' This beautiful spot is rated as a 1-star attraction by the Michelin Guide. Shifen Waterfall and the nearby Yanjingdong Waterfall are iconic landmarks within the Shifen Scenic Area. The nostalgic Shifen Old Street is about a 10-minute walk away. The annual Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival held during the Lantern Festival attracts large crowds, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
- 13:30【Shifen Old Street】Shifen Old Street and Jing'an Suspension Bridge near the station are popular spots for visitors to take photos. Since Shifen Waterfall is right next to the railway, there is a waterfall-viewing suspension bridge nearby, offering a unique perspective to watch the trains pass by. Shifen Waterfall is a cascade-type waterfall, similar to Niagara Falls in North America, earning it the nickname 'Taiwan's Niagara Falls.' The main feature here is that the old street and the train tracks are connected, allowing you to experience the novelty of 'trains passing right in front of your door' and the fun of strolling alongside the tracks. The old street is vibrant and diverse, where you can buy a sky lantern to write down your wishes and pray for yourself and your loved ones. The friendly shop owners will not only provide guidance but also teach you how to take the perfect photo with your sky lantern!
- 14:40【Shifen Station】Take the Pingxi Line train departing from Shifen at 14:40, arriving at Houtong at 15:00.
- 15:00【Houtong Cat Village】Houtong Cat Village was once recommended by CNN as one of the top six cat-watching spots in the world. The cats here are well-cared for by residents, clean, and unafraid of people, making them the perfect models for your camera. Additionally, to promote the correct concept of cat care and feeding, a 'Cat Information Station' has been built in the village. The exterior walls feature cute cat murals designed by illustrators, and the interior is equipped with cat walkways and jumping platforms, allowing cats to move freely and play. The outdoor sinks and cat water fountains allow visitors to observe the cats up close and learn about their habits.
- 16:30【Jiufen Old Street】Once known as the 'Gold Capital of Asia,' Jiufen is a mountain town in the outskirts of Ruifang District, New Taipei City. Immigrants began settling here in the early Qing Dynasty, and the discovery of placer gold in the late 19th century attracted waves of gold seekers, driving local prosperity. At that time, looking up at the mountain from Keelung Port at night, one could see the brilliant lights of this area, earning it the nicknames 'Little Shanghai' and 'Little Hong Kong.' Retaining its simple charm and traditional architecture, Jiufen is now a popular tourist destination in New Taipei City. The nostalgic Jiufen Old Street, Peng Yuan, specialty snacks, and homestays attract many domestic and international tourists. Visitors can also drive to nearby attractions like Jinguashi and Shuinandong to enjoy the beautiful scenery of 'Shui-Jin-Jiu.' (On weekends and holidays, large buses are restricted from entering the Jiufen area. Visitors must transfer to a shuttle bus at the New No. 9 Parking Lot. The one-way trip takes about 10 minutes and costs 15 NTD per person, totaling 30 NTD for a round trip, payable in cash or via electronic payment cards like EasyCard.)
- 19:40【THSR Taipei Station】Tour ends, return to the departure point.
