New Taipei Kultúrne zážitky

It was a very nice and pleasant experience. It's a sunny day, we went there with a tour bus which walked us to the store itself, then we got given the 4-colour lantern and provided with black calligraphy pen to write our wishes, each colour represent a different area of life, e.g. health and wealth etc. We wrote our lantern inside the shop before going outdoor. There are staff using our phones to taking photos and videos of us on the train track and gave us poses to take pictures of the different sides of the lantern.

Our Shifen sky lantern experience was unforgettable! We came with wishes written on our lantern and left with tons of happy memories (and a lot of photos 😄). The staff were super friendly, energetic, and patient—they made sure our lantern was ready, guided us through every step, and became our personal photographers for the moment. They didn’t just sell us a lantern; they helped create a beautiful memory that we’ll bring home from Taiwan. Thank you for making our Shifen visit extra special! 🎈✨

I highly recommend supporting Grandma’s Lantern! At 94 years old, she is still there with a smile, helping visitors and ensuring everyone has a great experience. The photos we took with her are our favorite souvenirs. It’s a small business with a huge heart—don’t skip this spot!

V roku 2024 som sa počas mojej poslednej návštevy Taiwanu zúčastnila kurzu výroby prsteňov zo striebornej hliny v Nimou a tak veľmi sa mi to páčilo, že som sa prihlásila znova aj na túto návštevu! Mala by som spomenúť, že nehovorím po čínsky a jazyková bariéra nebola problém! Inštruktori sú veľmi trpezliví a zruční. Odporúčam prísť s nejakými nápadmi, inštruktori vám vysvetlia proces výroby prsteňa, pomôžu vám zrealizovať vašu víziu a zo štúdia odídete s jedinečným šperkom! Prvá fotografia je prsteň, ktorý som vyrobila v roku 2024, a druhá fotografia je ten, ktorý som vyrobila dnes!

A great experience, fun and definitely recommended! Since we were the only ones speaking English we ended up having a completely private session of the DIY noodles making, it was very well explained and great fun!

Veľmi sa mi páči miestna atmosféra v obchode. Sedieť v krásnych šatách a popíjať čaj. Personál je veľmi milý a priateľský, usmievavý a veľmi dobre sa o nás staral. Sú tam roztomilé mačky, zákusky sú veľmi chutné, voňajú po čaji a čaj má vynikajúcu chuť. Cítila som sa dosť zle, ale keď som si popíjala čaj, bolo mi lepšie. Atmosféra v obchode je teplá, čistá a cítim sa tam príjemne. Určite sa chcem vrátiť. 💖🫶🏻🍵😍🥰

Hneď pri vstupe sú k dispozícii špeciálne pohodlné papuče a voda pre hostí. Kozmetička stručne predstaví procedúry, ale nebude ich agresívne vnucovať, jej prístup je veľmi zdvorilý a jemný. Prvýkrát som sem prišla vyskúšať ošetrenie na odstránenie čiernych bodiek, a keďže som si póry dlho nečistila, proces bol bolestivý, ale po vyčistení je pleť naozaj veľmi čistá.

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!
