operated locally by MyProGuide Taiwan, and it turned out to be a fantastic way to explore some of the most iconic spots around Taipei in a single day. The itinerary covered Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen Old Street, Shifen, and the Golden Waterfall.
Our guide Vivian was excellent throughout the trip — punctual, clear with instructions, and very well organized. She managed the schedule perfectly and ensured we had a good balance between guided explanations and free time to explore each location at our own pace.
Her food recommendations were spot on, and we really enjoyed every stop she suggested. She even helped organize the sky lantern experience at Shifen, which was a highlight of the day. The weather was a bit rainy at times, but that’s part of the Taiwan experience and didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment.
💡 Insider Tip: At Shifen, grab a pork sausage from the small street stall in the picture, and in Jiufen, try the Chinese restaurant shop number 84 Vivian recommended.
