Jiufen Shuttle Bus from Ximen

What to expect

As any visitor to Taipei knows, the quaint and historic hillside villages of Jiufen and Shifen are the top places to visit near Taipei. But it's not so easy to get to them - until now! Avoid the slow buses and expensive taxis and book this extremely convenient transfer from Ximen. First stop is the Shifen Waterfall, which stands at 40 meters and is widely regarded as the most scenic in all of Taiwan. After exploring this picturesque waterfall, you can then head over to Shifen Old Street where you can decorate a paper lantern and make a wish as you set it afloat towards the sky. You will then be driven to Jiufen where you can stroll along the cobbled alleys lined with glowing red lanterns. You can shop for souvenirs, eat local taro desserts or settle in to a traditional teahouse and take in the magnificent mountain views. This isn't a guided tour, so you're free to enjoy Jiufen on your own time. Your final stop will be Keelung Miaokow Night Market, one of Taiwan's more traditional food-focused night markets where you can taste really delicious seafood at affordable prices. With a full belly, hop back on the bus for your return trip back to Ximen.

A fun and easy way of visiting the places within a short time frame. Transport all taken care of. Just ensure that follows the rules and timing of the tour guide so that everything can go on smoothly.

Review for: 10:30am Shuttle Bus

Awesome experience even though it is very packed with tourist. Souvenirs are cheaper to get at shifen where we sent the sky lantern up the sky. You could see the train passing by at intervals of maybe every 15min. The shop owners selling the lanterns are friendly and will help you and your family/friends take pics and video as you release the lantern into the sky. Jiufen has quite a fair bit of stairs to climb, nice experience but definitely kore expensive. The last stop is at keelung miowkow night market, we forgotten and ate too full at jiufen that we did not eat much at the night market. The market is cheaper than those in taipei. Do bear in mind that this is just shuttle bus service, so if you do not arrive early or on time, you will definitely miss the bus!

Review for: 10:00am Shuttle Bus

This is a shared transport services. Mini bus on time and it's clean. The catered timing is just nice for each spot. Driver shows the route for meeting point on A4 and advise us to take photo. Shifen waterfall is beautiful, however there are steep stairs climbing here and there, not recommend for seniors. My mom is 70, her kneecap started to hurt after the steps. As for Jiufen, amazing old street with foods, souvenirs and PEOPLE. Super crowded with tourists. Be prepare to be squeezed and push. Nevertheless, still a good experience. This bus service dropped us at the carpark, and we need to walk up the long long long steep stairs. The good thing is, you can take a taxi up (beside the car park), for NT100. Again, if you are with seniors, DO NOT use the stairs, taxi up is highly recommended. Shifen old street is a short train track with people putting lantern with some blessing words, was okay. Keelung Miaokou night market is full of yummy food, everywhere! Good planning to place it as last spot for dinner. Overall, recommended to use this service which is cheap as it covers multiple places and you do not need to plan your transportation.

Review for: 10:00am Shuttle Bus

Most efficient way to visit 3 different places in a day! The timing allocated for each destination was apt. The driver is pleasant and responsible. He ensured and always perform a headcount to account for all passengers before departing. Depart start location is right by the Ximen mrt station exit. If in Taipei, must book this to visit the suburbs Jiufen, Shifen and Keelung. Jiufen shops are situated around hillsteps make sure you come with loads of stamina to explore the shops. Visit Shifen to be in awe with the waterfall and find peace and nature. Keelung night market is filled with delicacy foods. Ichiban trip!

Review for: 10:00am Shuttle Bus

Taking this trip was easy and cheaper then getting a driver for the same places. We took the mini bus that can take about 15-17pax so for those big groups it’s like having your own transport. Jioufen was nice but the staircases is too much... ha ha ha...

Bus leaves on time. Very convenient and cost saving way to travel around Shifen, Jiufen and Keelung. Sufficient time at each destination. Driver doesn't know English but he is very helpful and caring. He tried to communicate with us by translation app. 3 destinations were beautiful and interesting to explore.
