day 1 - Arrival in Taipei

Welcome to Taiwan! Upon arrival at Taoyuan International Airport, you’ll be met and greeted by your driver before taking a private transfer into the city. Once you have settled into the hotel in Taipei, a dynamic metropolis blending modern skyscrapers with centuries-old temples and traditional markets. The rest of the day is yours to relax or begin discovering the city’s vibrant street life, cultural sights, and delicious food scene at your own pace.

Please note: Although this is a private tour, the included sightseeing will be conducted on a shared basis, meaning you will join other travellers for the included excursions. Please also note that sightseeing may take place in a different order to that listed below - rest assured all Inclusions remain the same.

OverNight:Taipei

day 2 - Exploring North Taiwan

Taipei - Yeh Liu - Jiufen - Shifen - Taipei. Leave the city behind as you set off from your hotel in Taipei for a full-day shared sightseeing tour exploring Taiwan’s dramatic northern coastline and charming mountain towns.

Your first stop is Yeh Liu Geopark, a surreal landscape of honeycomb rock formations, sculpted by sea and wind. You’ll have time to walk along the coastal trails and view its most iconic feature, the Queen’s Head - a naturally formed stone resembling the profile of a queen. The park is a fascinating showcase of geology, and you can spot formations with names like Fairy Shoe and Sea Candles along the way.

From Yeh Liu, continue inland to Jiufen, a former gold mining town perched on the slopes of the mountains. Wander the narrow alleyways of Jiufen Old Street, packed with teahouses, souvenir shops, and local snack stalls. Enjoy time to explore at your own pace and enjoy lunch at leisure - perhaps try traditional taro balls or a steaming bowl of fish ball soup with views over the East China Sea.

In the afternoon, head to Shifen Waterfall, sometimes called Taiwan’s “Little Niagara.” A short, easy walk brings you to a viewing platform overlooking this impressive 66-foot cascade, surrounded by lush greenery.

The day ends at Shifen Old Street, set along a historic railway line where trains still pass directly through the centre of town. Here, you’ll have the chance to write your wishes on a colourful sky lantern and release it into the air - a local tradition believed to bring good luck. Afterwards, return to Taipei, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel in the early evening.

From there, you head to Dadaocheng, one of the city’s oldest districts, known for its preserved architecture, old tea shops, and artisanal stores.

Afterwards, you will wander the bustling Dihua Old Street, where traditional medicine shops, spice merchants, and fabric vendors line the cobblestone lanes. You then continue to Cheng-en Gate (Beimen), a historic city gate dating back to the Qing Dynasty, before moving on to Ximending, Taipei’s youth culture and shopping hotspot bursting with fashion, food, and entertainment. Here you will have a chance to grab lunch.

Later, take in the spiritual ambiance of Lungshan Temple, a richly decorated sanctuary where locals come to pray. Don’t miss the changing of the guard ceremony at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, one of Taipei’s most important landmarks. End the day at the striking Taipei 101 Mall — once the tallest building in the world — where you can browse upscale boutiques or admire the skyline. (Entrance into the observatory is not included)
