New Taipei City Tour: Yehliu, Jiufen & Shifen Day Trip★★★★★★★★★★ 4.50 (2)9h 15mA full-day guided tour from Taipei covers three northern destinations: the dramatic rock formations of Yehliu Geopark, the lantern-lit alleys and local snacks of Jiufen (a former gold mining town), and Shifen Waterfall, Taiwan's "Little Niagara." The tour includes a professional English or Mandarin-speaking guide, air-conditioned transport, and pickup at MRT Ximen Station at 8:15 AM. The Pingxi Branch Rail Line runs through Shifen Old Street, where you can experience the sky lantern tradition (lanterns are optional and paid separately on-site). Yehliu Geopark admission is also paid on-site in cash.Is it for me?The tour departs from MRT Ximen Station in central Taipei, so you don't need a car or a separate hotel pickup arrangement — just arrive at the station 15 minutes early. This works well if you're staying anywhere on the Taipei metro line and want to see the north coast and mountain villages in a single day without navigating public buses or renting a vehicle yourself.Free cancellationInfants freefromUS$ 35View ›
