Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this private chartered day tour departs from Taipei and conveniently covers both Jiufen Old Street and Shifen in a single comprehensive itinerary.
While Jiufen features evening street food stalls, this tour includes a dedicated stop at the nearby Keelung MiaoKou Night Market to experience a traditional, large-scale night market.
Jiufen Old Street is a public historic area that is free to enter and explore during your private chartered tour.
As this is a private chartered tour, you can enjoy a flexible amount of time exploring Jiufen Old Street at your own pace before proceeding to the Keelung MiaoKou Night Market.
During the evening portion of this tour, you can stroll through the illuminated red lanterns and historic alleyways of Jiufen before heading to the Keelung MiaoKou Night Market for dinner.
On this tour, you can explore Jiufen's historic narrow alleyways, traditional tea houses, and iconic red lanterns before continuing to Shifen and the Keelung MiaoKou Night Market.
The tour includes a private air-conditioned vehicle, a professional driver, fuel, parking fees, and hotel pickup and drop-off within Taipei City. Entrance fees, meals, and sky lantern release costs at Shifen are not included.
The private charter typically lasts between 8 to 10 hours, starting from your Taipei hotel pickup and concluding after your visit to the Keelung Miaokou Night Market.
The driver will pick you up directly from your hotel lobby or a specified address within Taipei City limits. You must provide your accommodation details at the time of booking to arrange the exact pickup location.
While the private vehicle accommodates folded wheelchairs or strollers, Jiufen Old Street features steep, uneven stone steps and narrow alleyways that are highly inaccessible for wheels. Shifen and Pingxi have flatter terrain but still require navigating around active railway tracks.
The driver will drop you off at the entrance of the Miaokou Night Market and wait in a designated parking area while you explore and eat at your own pace. You will need to contact the driver when you are ready to be picked up for the return trip to Taipei.
Standard private sedans typically seat up to three passengers, while larger minivans can accommodate groups of four to eight passengers depending on the vehicle selected at booking. Luggage space is limited, so it is best suited for travelers carrying only small day bags.
Tours generally depart Taipei in the early afternoon, allowing time to visit Shifen, Pingxi, and Jiufen during daylight and early evening before arriving at the Keelung Miaokou Night Market when food stalls are fully operational.
You should bring sufficient cash in New Taiwan Dollars, as many small food vendors in Pingxi, Jiufen, and the Keelung night market do not accept credit cards. Comfortable walking shoes with good grip are also essential for navigating the wet and slippery stone steps in Jiufen.
The tour operates in light to moderate rain, but the release of sky lanterns at Shifen may be suspended by local authorities during heavy rain or strong winds for safety reasons. The rest of the itinerary will proceed as planned unless severe weather warnings are issued.
Visitors must stay clear of the active train tracks when the Pingxi Line trains are approaching, as the trains pass directly through the narrow streets of Shifen and Pingxi. It is illegal and dangerous to stand on the tracks while a train is in motion.
