Exploring Taiwan’s Timeless Beauty: A Day Tour from Keelung Port

Eager to explore the cultural and natural wonders of Taiwan, I embarked on the Keelung Port Day Tour. Join me as I recount my journey through the enchanting landscapes and rich traditions of Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen, and Shifen.

A Journey Through Time at Yehliu Geopark

As I embarked on the Keelung Port Day Tour, I was immediately drawn to the allure of Yehliu Geopark. This natural wonder, with its unique rock formations, felt like stepping into a different era. The Queen’s Head rock, a symbol of the park, stood majestically, whispering tales of ancient times. The park’s landscape, shaped by the relentless forces of nature, offered a serene escape from the bustling city life.

Walking through the park, I couldn’t help but reflect on the delicate balance between nature and time. Each rock formation seemed to tell its own story, a testament to the ever-changing world we live in. The experience was a gentle reminder of the importance of preserving such natural wonders for future generations.

The Enchanting Streets of Jiufen

Our next stop was Jiufen Old Street, a place that seemed to have leaped straight out of a Studio Ghibli film. The narrow alleyways, lined with traditional tea houses and vibrant shops, were alive with the aroma of authentic Taiwanese cuisine. As I wandered through the streets, I was transported back to a time when Jiufen was a bustling gold mining village.

The highlight of Jiufen was undoubtedly the opportunity to savor local delicacies. From the savory stingy tofu to the sweet taro balls, each bite was a celebration of Taiwan’s rich culinary heritage. The experience was made even more special by the breathtaking views of the sea, a perfect backdrop for a moment of mindfulness and reflection.

A Moment of Serenity at Shifen Waterfall

The final leg of our journey took us to Shifen Waterfall, often referred to as the Niagara Falls of Taiwan. The sound of cascading water was both powerful and calming, a symphony of nature that resonated deep within. As I stood there, mesmerized by the waterfall’s beauty, I felt a profound sense of peace.

The journey to the waterfall was equally enchanting, with a trek along the train tracks and over a suspension bridge. It was a reminder of the simple joys of life, the beauty of nature, and the importance of taking a moment to pause and appreciate the world around us. The day concluded with the release of sky lanterns at Shifen Old Street, a tradition that symbolizes hope and new beginnings.

Reflecting on the day’s experiences, I was reminded of the rich tapestry of culture and nature that Taiwan has to offer. The Keelung Port Day Tour was not just a journey through stunning landscapes, but a journey through time, tradition, and the heart of Taiwan.
