We had a great lantern experience in Shifen and booked through Happy Lantern. The photos and videos taken by the staff were amazing, we loved every single one of them. They really knew how to capture the best moments. We also appreciated that they let us be the ones to release the lantern ourselves, which made the experience even more special and meaningful. Highly recommended!

Releasing a sky lantern in Shifen was the highlight of my trip! Writing my wishes and watching the colorful lantern gracefully float up into the sky was a truly beautiful and memorable moment. The atmosphere along the old tracks is fantastic. Highly recommend this unique cultural tradition!

The DIY noodle-making activity is a lot of fun! The staff first explains the process of making handmade noodles and introduces nearby attractions. Then, we get to experience pulling the noodles, and they help us take lots of photos, even giving us professional pose guidance 😆😆. The flowing noodles are also exciting! They flow down very fast, so it's nerve-wracking trying to catch them 🤣. But don't worry, any noodles that make it to the end of the bamboo trough can still be eaten. They taste even better with the bonito soy sauce and homemade chili! Finally, you can even take home the handmade noodles you made. Highly recommend coming here when you visit Shiding!

We had the sweetest experience at nimonjewelry in Taiwan ✨
We joined a ring-making workshop, and it honestly felt magical. The lovely staff member who helped us was so kind and gentle, making the whole process feel warm and personal. The atmosphere in the studio was cozy, creative, and full of good vibes.

It just a blessing card to write and hang at the temple. And a paper lantern for us to bring home. However the view from the temple is quite nice.

This was a very fun experience! The instructors explained thoroughly each step and even let us practice before doing the real thing. They guided us throughout the whole process making it safe but fun! They really do try to ensure that you will leave with a product that you are proud of.
It was our first time doing glassblowing and would highly recommend this activity if you are in Taiwan! You will leave Taiwan with a beautiful and functional glass piece (cup / bowl / pitcher).
Thank you for the experience!

An amazing experience! The owner was incredibly kind and friendly. She helped me choose a very suitable and beautiful cheongsam that perfectly fit my figure. She also lent me two Chinese fans and an antique pearl purse, allowing me to create even more looks for my photos. The owner even styled my hair with an ancient Chinese hairpin, which looked absolutely beautiful! Walking through Jiufen Old Street, A-Mei Teahouse, and Shengping Theater, I felt completely immersed! Highly recommended!
