Wonderful day trip in northern Taiwan

5.00The day trip from Taipei to Pingxi district and Jiufen old town is highly recommended to experience life in 2 picturesque small towns and enjoy the natural landscape in northern Taiwan, including 2 beautiful waterfalls. My driver and tour guide Paul was very friendly and he explained to me the history of this region, which used to be very prosperous because of the local gold mines. We started at the Shifen Waterfall and Shifen village in Pingxi district. Shifen is famous because visitors send a sky lantern and make a wish. Then we visited the Golden Waterfall and the charming old village of Jiufen, where I ate the most delicious dumplings in my life, thanks o Paul’s recommendation. Before returning to Taipei we visited the spectacular Jiufen Qingyun Temple. I had a wonderful day full of exciting memories, including the most delicious dumplings.
Keelung, Jiufen and flying sky lanterns.
