1.From Taipei: Shifen, Jiufen, and Yehliu Guided Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,654 reviews · 9 hours · from $31Our pick

Taipei day trip to Shifen sky lanterns, Jiufen Old Street, and Yehliu Geopark's Queen's Head, ending at Raohe Night Market.

“Our guide, Pauline, was very good. She handled our large group expertly and communicated well. This tour covers a large area from the mountains to the sea and it was interesting as well as educational. There was a lot of walking with inclines and stairs so it is not for everyone. If mobility is not a problem for you, then I would recommend this tour. It was a long day but very enjoyable.”
