Itinerary
- YehLiu Geopark: Stunning geological formations created by centuries of erosion from the ocean and wind, this natural wonder features unique rock shapes like the iconic "Queen’s Head," a delicately balanced formation resembling a queen's profile, as well as others creatively named "Fairy Shoe," "Sea Candles," and "Mushroom Rocks."
- Golden Waterfall: Golden Waterfall's color is not due to pollution but rather a combination of natural minerals like iron and copper from the nearby abandoned Jinguashi mines. Here you will also overlook The 13 Layers Ruins, also known as the "Remains of the Thirteen Levels," along with Yin-Yang Sea. The sea here exhibits a unique blend of golden-yellow and deep blue hues, resembling the Taoist yin-yang symbol.
- Jiufen Old Street: Known for its narrow alleys, traditional tea houses, and vibrant red lanterns, Jiufen was once a prosperous gold mining town during the Japanese occupation in the early 20th century. Nowadays it is a must do to have a taste of the local tea in the tea houses to enjoy the view and have a bowl of taro balls as a dessert.
- Shifen Waterfall: Shifen Waterfall is often praised as the "Little Niagara of Taiwan." The water’s powerful flow and mist create beautiful rainbows on sunny days, adding a magical touch to the experience.
- Shifen Old Street: The street is lined with shops selling traditional snacks, souvenirs, and sky lanterns, which visitors often decorate with wishes and release into the sky for good luck. This tradition, originally from Chinese festivals, has become one of Shifen’s biggest draws, with annual festivals attracting thousands who come to release lanterns en masse.
