Yehliu Jiufen Pingxi Private Day Tour
Discover the most iconic attractions of northern Taiwan with our Yehliu Jiufen Pingxi private day tour. Designed for travelers who want to explore Taiwan beyond Taipei without worrying about public transportation, this 8-hour private tour combines dramatic coastal scenery, historic mountain villages, beautiful waterfalls, local street food, and one of Taiwan’s most memorable cultural activities: releasing a sky lantern at Shifen Old Street.
Your journey begins with convenient pickup from your hotel in Taipei. Travel comfortably in a private air-conditioned vehicle with your English-speaking driver-guide and head toward Taiwan’s scenic north coast.
The first stop is Yehliu Geopark, one of the most remarkable natural attractions in northern Taiwan. Shaped over thousands of years by wind, waves, and coastal erosion, the park is famous for its unusual rock formations. Walk along the seaside paths and admire geological landmarks such as the Queen’s Head, Fairy Shoe, and other fascinating formations created by nature. With its ocean views and otherworldly landscape, Yehliu Geopark is an excellent place for photography and a must-visit destination for first-time visitors to Taiwan.
Continue your Yehliu Jiufen Pingxi private day tour with a scenic drive along the northeast coast. Stop at Yin Yang Sea, where contrasting shades of blue and yellow create a distinctive coastal view. Nearby, visit Golden Waterfall, a photogenic cascade surrounded by the former mining landscape of Jinguashi. These two stops provide a glimpse into the area’s industrial history and offer excellent opportunities for memorable travel photos.
Next, travel uphill to Jiufen Old Street, one of Taiwan’s most atmospheric mountain towns. Once a thriving gold-mining settlement, Jiufen is now known for its narrow alleyways, red lanterns, traditional tea houses, souvenir shops, and sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and ocean. Take your time exploring the old street. Local specialties may include taro balls, herbal rice cakes, fish balls, Taiwanese sausages, and traditional tea.
After Jiufen, your private tour continues to Shifen Waterfall, a scenic waterfall surrounded by green forest and peaceful walking trails. Often described as one of Taiwan’s most impressive waterfalls, Shifen Waterfall is a refreshing stop where you can slow down, enjoy the scenery, and take photos from several viewing platforms.
The final highlight of the Yehliu Jiufen Pingxi private day tour is Shifen Old Street. Built alongside an active railway line, this charming village offers one of the most popular cultural experiences in Taiwan. Write your wishes for happiness, health, success, or good fortune on a traditional sky lantern. Then release the lantern into the sky and watch it float above the railway tracks. It is a simple but meaningful moment that many travelers remember long after returning home.
With private transportation, hotel pickup and drop-off, admission to Yehliu Geopark, and a sky lantern included, you can focus on enjoying the journey while your driver-guide takes care of the route.
