North Coast Adventure · 8-Hour Journey

From Alien Landscapes to
Golden Mountain Towns

—

Witness the most spectacular landscapes Northern Taiwan has to offer. Our "North Coast Adventure" is an 8-hour journey that combines geological wonders, traditional sky lantern rituals, and the nostalgic charm of a mountainside village. This is the ultimate itinerary for those who want to experience Taiwan's natural beauty and cultural icons in a single day.

Why This Tour is a Must-Do

Coast to mountain,
in a single day.

This tour takes you from the coast to the mountains. You'll see the world-famous Queen's Head at Yehliu, witness the "Little Niagara" of Taiwan at Shifen Waterfall, and get lost in the lantern-lit alleys of Jiufen. We end the day at Raohe Night Market, giving you the perfect gateway to Taipei's famous street food scene.

Journey Highlights

What You'll See

—

A geopark, a sky lantern, a waterfall, and a lantern-lit mountain town.

Yehliu Geopark —
Nature's Sculpture
Gallery

Walk along a 1,700-meter cape where thousands of years of erosion have carved a surreal forest of stone. See the iconic Queen's Head, a 4,000-year-old formation that stands as a silent witness to time. Explore "Fairy Shoes," "Candlestick Rocks," and "Honeycomb Rocks" in one of the world's most unique coastal geological sites.

Shifen — Railways,
Lanterns & Waterfalls

Experience the magic of Shifen Old Street, where the train tracks run right through the center of the village. Write your wishes on a Sky Lantern and watch it soar into the clouds. Just 2km away, visit the Shifen Waterfall — Taiwan's widest waterfall. Its powerful 40-meter span creates a misty "Little Niagara" effect that often produces shimmering rainbows in the sun.

Jiufen Old Street
& Night Market Finale

Step into a living maze in the mountain town of Jiufen. Once a gold-mining hub, its winding alleys are now filled with red lanterns and local delicacies like taro balls and peanut ice cream rolls.

We conclude the tour at Raohe Night Market in Taipei. As one of the city's most popular night markets, it's the perfect place to hunt for Michelin-recommended snacks and traditional treats to end your adventure.
