Frequently Asked Questions

The charter includes a private air-conditioned vehicle, a professional driver, fuel, tolls, and hotel pickup and drop-off within central Taipei.
The tour lasts for a total of four to five hours, starting from the time of your hotel pickup in Taipei until your return.
In Jiufen, you will walk through the historic mountain village and narrow alleyways, while in Shifen, you can release a sky lantern and walk along the active railway tracks.
The driver will meet you directly at your hotel lobby or a designated central Taipei transit hub if your lodging is in a restricted or pedestrian-only area.
Yes, the private vehicle accommodates families, but you must request an infant or child car seat in advance as they are not automatically provided.
Shifen's flat railway area is mostly accessible, but Jiufen features steep, uneven stone staircases and narrow paths that are highly difficult to navigate with a wheelchair or stroller.
Scheduling a morning departure around 8:00 AM allows you to explore Jiufen before the large tour buses arrive and reach Shifen by early afternoon.
Wear comfortable, slip-resistant walking shoes with good grip for the steep stone steps, and bring a light jacket as the mountain village can be cooler and windier than Taipei city.
If the local government issues a typhoon warning or the tour is canceled due to severe weather, you will receive a full refund or the option to reschedule to an available date.
Yes, you should bring New Taiwan Dollars in cash, as most small food vendors, tea houses, and sky lantern shops in these historic areas do not accept credit cards.

Guests releasing sky lanterns must follow local safety regulations and only launch them during designated railway clearance intervals.

Shifen Old Street is closely connected to Shifen Station. Although there are no century-old red brick buildings or well-known architectural styles, the characteristics of the old street close to the railway make it a good place for railway fans to make nostalgic pilgrimages. The sky lantern crafts on the old street The store has always been the sign here, with Hakka floral fabrics and video postcards, injecting new vitality and enthusiasm into the retro Shifen Old Street. The short 10-minute journey is worth spending a few hours savoring and experiencing it slowly. Taking pictures, treasure hunting on the railway, or buying a sky lantern to pray are all popular ways to visit Shifen Old Street.
