Private Day Trip to Jiufen, Shifen and Yehliu Park
Description
On this tour with private transportation we will visit the north coast of Taiwan, including a curious geological park with amazing rock formations, a small town with a waterfall dubbed the “Little Niagara of Taiwan”, and Jiufen, a picturesque town in the mountain that looks like something out of the movie “Spirited Away” by master Hayao Miyazaki.

Itinerary
In the morning we will pickup you in your hotel and we’ll head towards the north coast of Taiwan to visit Yehliu, a geological park that houses numerous rock formations with surprising figures, result of marine erosion over the centuries.
After visiting Yehliu we will enter the mountains of northern Taiwan to discover the Shifen Waterfall, dubbed the “Little Niagara of Taiwan”. A natural wonder that will leave you breathless. With an impressive height of 20 meters and a majestic width of 40 meters, this waterfall offers a visual and auditory spectacle that immerses you in the grandeur of nature.
Finally we will visit the photographic town of Jiufen. This small town is located on the mountainside, and enjoys stunning views of the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Jiufen houses a market along its main street, where we can sample local delicacies – such as pineapple cupcakes or a meatloaf with rice paste – and visit the workshops and shops of artisans who have settled in Jiufen. The town is famous for the traditional tea houses hidden in its winding alleys, and for the red lanterns decorating its streets, which infuse Jiufen with a special charm. But not only will we stroll and admire the alleys, shops, and spectacular views, but we will also have the opportunity to have lunch at one of the famous teahouses with privileged views of the coast and mountains surrounding this dreamy village.

Andy was very communicative with arrival time and knowledgeable about the sites visited. The car was comfortable and impeccably clean and well appointed. We had plenty of time to linger in places that were interesting and he even ended up sending us a car to take us to the airport the next day.
We had a great day exploring the North Coast of Taiwan. Andy is a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about the area and its history. The day was well-paced and we have a load of photos to commemorate our visit.
It’s a curated private tour experience with the convenience seeing sights at your own pace. Cristian was a very warm, hospitable, conscientious, and knowledgeable driver/tour guide. This is a perfect itinerary for a day tour, and I would definitely recommend it.
The Geopark, Jiufen and Shifen can be very crowded. Learning more from Samuel, our guide, about the sites were very informative and interesting. Samuel's knowledge of where to traverse made it more efficient. Would love to do another tour with him the next time we visit Taipei.
Wilson was fantastic! He picked us up at our Hotel and the vehicle was a Mercedes Van that was very comfortable for the day trip. He was very knowledgable about the locations and handled everything and kept us to perfect schedule. He also took fantastic pictures and compiled a great video for us at the end of the trip. I would highly recommend this trip if you are looking for great day trip. 5 stars for sure!
Fantastic guide by Vincent hsu. Very meticulous and sensitive to our family needs. We feel exceptionally safe in his bullet-proof transport. A truly VIP experience. Keep it up!
Our tour guide/driver dan was very knowledgeable, kind and very considerate of our request and time. My family and i will booked him again when we return to Taipei
Our family had a perfect private tour with Samuel. He picked us up just as planned and made sure we had a great day. Yehliu, Shifen, and Jiufen are all popular tourist destinations and Samuel was well informed and navigated everything so we could just relax and enjoy what we were seeing. He was happy to adjust the plan a bit for us and we also got some really great pictures! Don’t hesitate to book this, and I think extra cost of a private tour is well worth it for these sites.
We had high expectations on this tour, but they have been exceeded. Thank you for taking us to everything we wanted to see and filling us with the memories of amazing surprises and stories. 100% recommended and if I could in a few years I would repeat it without hesitation <3
Got us to the right places at the right times and no hanging around for others. Just for parking in the right places and the restaurant booking it was worth the extra of a private tour. Geo Park, waterfall and Jiufen (sp?) all good and all different. Train St was a nice additional stop.
