Taiwan Day Tours from Taipei: Yehliu, Jiufen & Shifen
This is one of the most requested day trips in Asia — and for good reason. In a single day from Taipei you go from surreal rock formations on the Pacific coast, to a hilltop old town straight out of a Miyazaki film, to releasing a glowing sky lantern over a mountain gorge. Three completely distinct landscapes and experiences, all within 2 hours of central Taipei.
What to Expect at Each Stop
Yehliu Geopark
Yehliu is a headland on Taiwan's north coast where wind and sea erosion have carved the sandstone into extraordinary shapes over millions of years. The most famous is the Queen's Head — a mushroom-shaped rock with an uncanny resemblance to a regal profile. The park also features sea candles, tofu rocks, and honeycomb formations. Go early in the day before tour buses arrive. The coastal walk to the park's tip offers spectacular Pacific views.
Jiufen Old Street
Jiufen is a former gold mining town built into the steep hills of the northeast coast — a labyrinth of stone steps, red lanterns, tea houses, and mountain views over the Pacific. It is widely believed to have partly inspired the setting for the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away (though this has never been officially confirmed). The atmosphere is best in the late afternoon and early evening when the lanterns glow. Try the taro balls — the classic Jiufen snack — from the stalls on the main street.
Shifen Waterfall & Sky Lanterns
Shifen is a small railway town in the Pingxi Valley where the train tracks run directly through the main street — locals and tourists alike walk along the tracks between trains. The highlight is releasing a traditional sky lantern: you write your wishes on the paper sides, light the burner, and watch it float up into the sky above the gorge. Shifen Waterfall — Taiwan's widest waterfall — is a short walk from the lantern area. A genuinely memorable experience.

Tips for the Yehliu, Jiufen & Shifen Day Trip
- Arrive at Yehliu early — the Queen's Head has a queue for photos by mid-morning on busy days. Tours usually start here first thing for this reason
- Jiufen is best in the late afternoon when the lanterns glow and the light on the coast turns golden. Most full-day tours time it right
- Wear comfortable shoes — Jiufen is all stone steps, steep and wet in rain. Taiwan's northeast coast gets a lot of rain; bring a light waterproof
- Budget for sky lanterns at Shifen — lanterns are paid separately, usually TWD 150–200 each
- Book in advance — this is one of Taiwan's most popular day trips and the best-rated tours sell out
- Use Holafly for data in Taiwan — unlimited data means you can navigate, translate menus, and share lantern photos the moment they go up

Taiwan Day Tour FAQs 2026
What is the Klook promo code for Taiwan day tours?
Use promo code STEPHANDPETE on Klook when booking any Taiwan day tour — Yehliu, Jiufen, Shifen, or other destinations — to save. Enter the code at checkout before completing payment. Verified June 2026.
Can you visit Yehliu, Jiufen and Shifen in one day from Taipei?
Yes. The classic Taiwan day trip combines all three in one long day (typically 9–10 hours). Most Klook tours handle the logistics — transport, guide, and timing — so you don't need to figure out the bus connections independently. Use code STEPHANDPETE at checkout to save.
What is the best Taiwan day trip from Taipei?
The Yehliu, Jiufen and Shifen combo is the most popular and rewarding Taiwan day trip from Taipei — three very different landscapes and experiences in one day. It consistently rates as one of the best day trips in Asia. Book on Klook with code STEPHANDPETE.
Is Jiufen the inspiration for Spirited Away?
Jiufen's red lanterns and winding stone steps look visually similar to the spirit town in Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away, and the connection is widely discussed. Hayao Miyazaki has never officially confirmed it as an inspiration — but the atmosphere of the town makes the comparison easy to understand.
How much do sky lanterns cost at Shifen?
Sky lanterns at Shifen typically cost TWD 150–200 each (approximately $5–7 USD), paid directly to the vendors at Shifen. This is separate from your Klook tour cost. Most vendors paint wishes on the lantern for you and help you light and release it.
