This half-day private tour from Taipei lasts about six hours and includes visits to Jiufen, Shifen Waterfall, and Pingxi for a sky lantern experience. The tour begins with a ten-minute stop to view a bay where the sea shows a mix of yellow and blue colors. Next, the vehicle passes by the Remains of the 13 Levels, a former smelting plant in Lianxin Village, also known as the Potala Palace of Mountain Mines, for about ten minutes. The tour then stops for ten minutes at Golden Waterfall in Jinguashi, where the water appears gold-colored due to mineral deposits. The main stop is Jiufen, where visitors spend around one and a half hours walking through the streets of this old town with a seaside atmosphere, known for its red lanterns and connections to films such as Spirited Away and Taiwanese cinema. After Jiufen, the tour continues to Shifen Waterfall, Taiwan’s most well-known cascading waterfall, measuring 20 meters high and 40 meters wide, with a visit lasting about 40 minutes. The final stop is Pingxi, where visitors spend about 40 minutes at Shifen Old Street, a former coal transport railroad town now popular for its traditional shops, local food, and active railway. The tour includes a sky lantern activity in Pingxi, allowing one lantern per vehicle to be released. Transportation is provided in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with bottled water supplied. Parking fees and tolls are covered. Food and drinks are not included.
