Hop on a half-day tour to Jiufen & Shifen with Relax Go Taiwan — it’s chill, aesthetic, and fun.

Shifen Old Street – Make a Wish, Let It Fly

Shifen Old Street, a charming railway town famous for its sky lanterns. Here, you can write your wishes on colorful lanterns and release them into the sky as trains rumble slowly past the narrow tracks. It’s one of Taiwan’s most iconic experiences — romantic, hopeful, and beautifully local. Don’t forget to snap a few photos with the vintage railway backdrop!

Jiufen Old Street – A Step Back in Time

From there, head to the misty mountain village of Jiufen, a former gold-mining town turned into a nostalgic maze of lantern-lit alleys, tea houses, and souvenir shops. Wander through the narrow lanes lined with stalls selling taro balls, fish balls, and herbal rice cakes.

Grab a seat at one of Jiufen’s teahouses overlooking the Pacific Ocean — the view at sunset is pure magic, with the sea shimmering beneath the mountain fog. Many say this enchanting village inspired scenes in Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away.

Golden Waterfall – Nature’s Sparkle

Next up: Golden Waterfall — glowing with a rich, golden hue from the natural minerals in the mountain streams.

Yinyang Sea – The Magic of Two Colors

Right nearby, stop by the mysterious Yinyang Sea, where the water naturally splits into blue and gold tones. The surreal contrast between the ocean blue and mineral gold makes it one of the coolest and most unique coastal sights in Taiwan.
