Description:

Experience Chiufen, once a prosperous gold rush town, on this full-day excursion from Taipei. Discover retro Chinese and Japanese-style cafés and tea houses, pristine eroded rocks, the gorgeous Golden Waterfall, bustling Keelung Night Market, and fantastic views of the ocean.

Start your trip with pickup from your hotel and journey 25 miles (40 km) west to Chiufen. Along the way, take in the breathtaking view of the mountains and scenic vistas of the Pacific Ocean. Upon arrival, walk along the historical Chiufen Old Street, a market street that stretches through most of the village, and explore the retro blend of Chinese and Japanese architecture on cafés, tea houses, and souvenir shops.

Continue your adventure at Heping Island Park. While here, take out your camera and snap photos of the famous 'bean-curd rock' as well as pedestal rocks formed by wave erosion and crustal movement. Then head to the Golden Waterfall, which earned its nickname from its yellow hue caused by the combination of regular rainfall in the mining area and abundant heavy metal elements deposited in the riverbed.

Later, stop at Keelung Miaokou Night Market, nation-wide and well-known for its great diversity and tasty local delicacies. Meander through the lanes and alleys before your transfer takes you back to your hotel.
