What to Expect
- Yin-Yang Sea - is located beside the northern coastal road in the Gold Ecological Park region, a curiously colored patch of water. The complementary blue and yellow coloring of this bay brings to mind the ancient Chinese principle of yin and yang, the natural concept of duality.
- Golden Waterfall - is near the Yin-Yang Sea in the Jinguashi Gold Ecological Park region. The red background of Golden Waterfall comes from the sulfurous soil and it contains a high level of toxic. Along the way to Golden Waterfall, you may find the abandoned factories of the gold mining which you could experience through Taipei day tour.
- Jiufen - is a unique immigrant isolated village in the mountains in the Qing dynasty. When Taiwan was under Japanese rule, there was a gold rush in Jiufen. This place is also famous for taro ball, fish ball, and rice cake. If tourists are tired after walking so long, you can rest in the tea house to taste the delicacies of Jiufen.

- Shifen Waterfall - is a 40-meter high waterfall. If you visit Shifen Waterfall in summer, you can feel the cool water and refreshing air in the mountains. Explore the trail near Shifen Waterfall is also good for Taiwan family trip. Walking into the forests and being bathed in the relaxation and tranquility are the best of Taiwan tour.
- Releasing sky lantern into the sky is one of the most famous thing to do in Taiwan. The sky lantern is also called Kongming lantern, which is used for praying for safety, love or career. Tourists can write your wishes on the lantern, however, it was used for informing others that this village is safe before. We will release the eco-friendly sky lantern on the train track, which is very fascinating and harmless to the environment. After releasing a sky lantern, you can also buy the nostalgic marble soft drink in Shifen Old Street.
