- Attraction Introduction -
- Shifen Waterfall is Taiwan's largest curtain-style waterfall. The river, 40 meters wide and with a 20-meter drop, suddenly plunges vertically to a depth of about four or five stories at this point, causing the water to cascade down. Rugged rocks on the cliff face interact with the flowing water, creating a white spray that appears as if seven or eight waterfalls are cascading down side-by-side from left to right, forming a wide curtain-like waterfall.
- Shifen Old Street is connected to a railway track, offering the unique visual experience of having a train pass right in front of the street – the only one of its kind in Taiwan. Enjoy strolling along the tracks, buy a sky lantern, write down your wishes for yourself and your loved ones, and friendly shopkeepers will provide assistance with releasing it. You can also take photos with your own sky lantern.
- Surrounded by staircases, Jiufen Old Street offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Keelung Island. Shops filled with unique souvenirs line the street, where you can savor local delicacies or leisurely enjoy tea amidst the stunning mountain and sea scenery. The nostalgic, old-fashioned architecture along the way is captivating. At night, the twinkling lights under the stars create a beautiful cityscape, offering a different kind of enchanting atmosphere than during the day.
- The Taiwan Black Tea Experience Center, located in Guansi Township, Hsinchu County, is an 86-year-old tea factory and a cultural center for the Taiwan Black Tea industry. Situated in the heart of Yongkang Street, the center collaborates with SUNMERRY, Taiwan's first Sino-Japanese joint venture bakery chain.
