Yes, the private charter vehicle can accommodate larger groups, and the activities are gentle enough for both children and elderly travelers.
Releasing sky lanterns in Shifen is wheelchair accessible as it takes place on the flat railway tracks, but the railway bike requires physical mobility to board and pedal.
Releasing lanterns at dusk or after dark provides the best visibility for the glowing lanterns, though the experience is available throughout the day.

▲ Come to Shifen to release sky lanterns, be very happy, and be happy forever

▲ The Sky Lantern Festival is a famous sky lantern festival in Taiwan. Every year during the Lantern Festival, tens of thousands of sky lanterns rise into the sky from Pingxi, creating a spectacular sight.

▲ The 2,167-meter-long "Old Caoling Tunnel" is the first bicycle tunnel in northern Taiwan that was converted from a railway tunnel. It has also won the international "Tomorrow's Travel Award WTTC" and Taiwan's Top Ten Classic Bicycle Routes. Visitors can ride a bicycle to experience its original appearance.

▲ The water vapor formed by the waterfall often spreads above the waterfall pool. When exposed to the sunlight, a rainbow appears, showing the bright and dazzling neon in the clear sky, so it is named Rainbow Abyss.

▲ This "bicycle tunnel" combines history, culture and tourism. Riding a bicycle to experience its original style is a great way to experience it. A bicycle ride takes about 20 minutes, which is easy and effortless! When the train passes by, you can also hear the rumbling sound of the train.
