Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this private charter tour covers both Jiufen Old Street and Shifen Waterfall in a single day, along with stops at Yehliu Geopark and Pingxi for sky lantern activities.
The tour includes a private air-conditioned vehicle, a professional English-speaking driver, fuel, parking fees, and hotel pickup and drop-off within Taipei City. Entrance fees, meals, and the sky lantern release are not included and must be paid on-site.
This private charter typically lasts between 8 to 10 hours from the time of your Taipei hotel pickup until drop-off. The exact duration can be slightly adjusted based on your preferred pace and time spent at each location.
Visiting Shifen Waterfall requires walking down a paved but steep pathway and crossing suspension bridges to reach the viewing platforms. Exploring Jiufen Old Street involves navigating narrow, uneven stone paths and climbing numerous steep staircases.
The tour begins with a direct pickup from your hotel or specified accommodation located within Taipei City limits. Your driver will wait in the lobby holding a sign with your name at the agreed-upon departure time.
The private vehicle is suitable for families, and infant seats can usually be requested in advance for the car journey. However, parents should be prepared to carry children in a baby carrier at Jiufen and Shifen, as strollers are impractical on the steep stairs and uneven paths.
While Yehliu Geopark features mostly flat, paved boardwalks that are wheelchair friendly, Jiufen Old Street and Shifen Waterfall are not accessible. Jiufen has steep, narrow stairs and Shifen requires navigating uneven steps, making this tour unsuitable for wheelchair users or those with severe mobility issues.
An early morning start around 8:00 AM is recommended to explore Yehliu Geopark before large tour buses arrive and to reach Jiufen by late afternoon. This schedule allows you to experience Jiufen's iconic red lanterns lighting up at dusk while avoiding the peak midday heat.
Bring a pen or marker if you prefer not to use the provided brushes for writing wishes on your sky lantern, along with cash to purchase the lantern and local street snacks. You should also wear sturdy, slip-resistant walking shoes and bring a light rain jacket, as the coastal and mountainous areas experience frequent weather changes.
You can typically cancel or modify this private charter without penalty if you notify the operator at least 24 to 48 hours prior to the scheduled pickup time. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the tour or no-shows are generally non-refundable.
You must only release sky lanterns in designated areas under the supervision of local shop staff to ensure they clear the power lines safely. When walking near the Pingxi railway tracks, always stay alert for approaching trains and heed the warning bells and staff instructions to clear the tracks immediately.

About Yehliu Geopark + Pingxi Sky Lantern + Shifen Waterfall + Jiufen Old Street Private Charter 1-day Tour Day Tours

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the most pleasant weather for outdoor exploration. These seasons provide clear skies for photography and comfortable temperatures for walking through Jiufen's hills.
This is a full-day private charter tour, typically lasting around 10 to 12 hours from pick-up to drop-off.
This full-day itinerary involves significant walking, including steep stairs and uneven paths at Jiufen Old Street, making comfortable footwear essential. Yehliu Geopark is highly exposed to coastal elements, so visitors should prepare for strong winds and sun exposure. Additionally, the Pingxi sky lantern release is subject to local weather conditions and may be restricted during heavy rain or high winds.

Jiufen Old Street is located along Jishan Street, Shuqi Road, and Qingjing Road. The traditional-style buildings are built into the mountainside, featuring rows of old houses, narrow streets, and steep stone steps with varying elevations.

The winding Jiufen Old Street preserves ancient living customs with its rich nostalgic charm. Red lanterns, narrow alleys, stone steps, and weathered wooden buildings have inspired many films. The street gained renewed fame through "A City of Sadness" and its resemblance to the setting in "Spirited Away."

Old Street Delicacies The snacks on Jiufen Old Street are a feast for the eyes. We recommend Apo Lai Taro Balls, located at No. 143 Jishan Street. Their sweet soup or shaved ice is topped with red beans and peanuts. The mixed taro balls are sweet, soft, and delightfully chewy. Another shop, Auntie Taro Balls, offers a narrow dining space with a clear ocean view. Enjoy handmade taro and sweet potato balls while gazing at the sea—a truly relaxing experience. Other must-try treats include red glutinous meatballs, peanut roll ice cream, Hulichang braised snacks, Jiufen tofu pudding, and Jiudaokou beef noodles, all guaranteed to whet your appetite.

The Old Street homestay avoids the bustling crowds. Staying overnight in Jiufen is a great choice. Many homestays are built along the slopes, towering and far-reaching. At night, when visitors disperse, the old street suddenly quiets down, leaving only a few lights, as if time has frozen. Enjoying such tranquility alone is truly wonderful.

Entry fees for Yehliu Geopark and Shifen Waterfall area are typically included in the tour package. Costs for sky lanterns and food souvenirs are usually at your own expense.
