The Heping Island Ocean Park combines rich marine ecological exhibits with interactive experiences, making it a popular destination for families. The aquarium's thoughtful design allows visitors to get up close with various fish, corals, and marine life, creating an immersive underwater world experience. Through vivid explanations and multimedia exhibits, children can learn about marine science while having fun. Outside the park, visitors can also enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery of Keelung, perfect for taking photos. It's an ocean-themed attraction that offers both educational and entertainment value.

APR. 19, 2026 🛤️ Jinguashi ✖️ Gold Museum Traveling with the Textbook: Fourth Grade Social Studies… Finally (◐‿◑) We started at the Golden Waterfall. Although Jingzai initially wanted to drive right past it, You proactively suggested, "Aren't we going to get out and take pictures?" Mom instantly understood this was a signal to "take photos," so the whole family immediately pulled over. Next, we visited the "Four-Joined-Houses": Looking at the layout of the Japanese dormitories, we discussed how people lived and went about their daily lives there back then. We also got to touch the "220-kilogram gold brick" with our own hands. The weight and value were astonishing‼️ Then came the important "gold panning experience." After watching the instructional video, the siblings put it into practice and felt completely immersed in the experience. Finally, the whole family put on hard hats and became miners 👷, walking into the damp, dark Benshan No. 5 Tunnel. Inside the tunnel, there was the sound of dripping water and a sense of oppression, but also gold—shhh 🤫 Turning the words from a textbook into the scenery before our eyes, the biggest reward wasn't gaining more knowledge, but seeing the sparkle in the children's eyes—it was a surprise and connection that transformed "I've read about it" into "I've seen it, I've felt it" ♥️

I highly recommend the North Coast Tour on Klook! It was extremely convenient, especially the transfers between attractions given how far apart they are. They allocated plenty of time at each spot so we never felt rushed. Shoutout to our tour guide, Sir Tommy! He was energetic and engaging throughout the trip, sharing fascinating local history and connecting it to our own cultures. He took great care of us and made sure we had a blast. His food recommendations were top-notch, from the peanut ice cream and stuffed chicken wings to the nougat crackers and pineapple cakes. We bought the nougat crackers and pineapple cakes as pasalubong, and they were a huge hit because of how delicious and unique they were. Overall, we’ll definitely recommend this to our friends visiting Taiwan and would love to book this tour again in the future, hopefully with Tommy as our guide again! Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience.

I really love the local vibe of this shop. I enjoyed sipping tea while wearing beautiful traditional clothes. The staff were incredibly lovely, friendly, and always smiling. They took great care of me. There were also cute cats, and the desserts were delicious, with a lovely tea aroma. The tea itself tasted wonderful. I wasn't feeling well, but after a few sips of tea, I felt much better. The shop's atmosphere is warm, clean, and very comforting. I definitely want to go back again! 💖🫶🏻🍵😍🥰

This was the only tour I booked during my entire stay in Taiwan, as I really wanted to see the North Coast—and it was totally worth it! Allan was an amazing guide (and an expert photographer!). He was very knowledgeable about each destination and shared some really cool facts along the way. He was also very friendly and polite, making sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour. Thank you, Allan!

The staff were very kind, and it was a great experience. The female instructor helped a lot and made the photoshoot enjoyable. Thank you!

It was fun even if the weather was rainy. Jaron Lee or Jia-Ron Li was our guide and he was very passionate of his job. He spoke very well Japanese and English as he attended to all of us. He explained a lot about the place going to the area and we were advised to get a raincoat if we wanted additional protection from the rain, which were also available all around Jiufen. Jiufen was a lovely place, it was rainy but the vibes was there, we enjoyed the many shops, view, dinner and we safely headed back to Taipe Main Station/Raohe Night Market. Feichang Ganxie Jaron! He took good care of us and was very helpful of inquiries! God bless and take care! :)

Yesterday, I visited Jiufen after a long time. The only difference this time was that I had booked a Qipao experience. I searched online and found "CHIPAO Jiufen Qipao Rental." Reservations are required in advance! On the day of the experience, the shop environment was small, simple, and clear. The owner, a kind lady, first let us choose our favorite Qipao styles. Let me just say... those who have trouble making decisions are in luck, haha! The owner gave us advice on the Qipaos and quickly and accurately picked out beautiful Qipaos from the rack based on her professional judgment! I still recommend that friends who want to try this do some research beforehand so you don't spend too much time choosing a Qipao. Although the rental period for this Qipao shop is very long (return by 7:00 PM at the latest!), you should spend your time taking beautiful photos! After choosing our outfits, the owner styled our hair into simple updos to match our Qipaos. The online description mentioned simple long hair updos. Although it said "simple," I personally think it was anything but simple. The owner meticulously styled beautiful updos, allowing all the girls to have wonderful memories in Jiufen. After styling our hair, the owner recommended small accessories nearby for us to wear. You can choose them yourself or politely ask the owner for suggestions. Of course, everyone can also bring their own before the experience day. Once the clothes were ready, it was time to choose suitable embroidered shoes. The shop provides black invisible socks, which you can keep! I recommend not choosing embroidered shoes that are too tight, as you'll be climbing some stairs in Jiufen Old Street, and tight shoes might make your feet uncomfortable. The owner also recommended some great photo spots for reference. As June begins, the weather is gradually getting hotter. The shop also provides small bags for the furry shawls, in case you get heatstroke, haha. The weather can be hot, but you must look beautiful! Before leaving the shop to go sightseeing, the shop offers temporary storage for your belongings. You can also switch to a small bag provided by the shop to match your Qipao. Since you haven't paid a storage fee to the shop, be sure to keep your valuables with you. Finally, thank you to the owner for giving us such wonderful memories and service, and thank you, Jiufen, for being so beautiful and amazing!
