Great Day Overall

5.00The tour guide was excellent and my family and I learnt a lot of new things and tried a lot of exciting things. The price was also fairly cheap for the whole day. Since we went earlier into the day there wasnt a lot of crowd and it was quite peaceful. It did rain very lightly so bring umbrellas！The thing I liked the best was trying the tea and dried strawberry samples.

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.
