Highlights
- Yehliu Geopark - Our adventure begins with a visit to Yehliu Geopark, a geological wonderland renowned for its unique rock formations sculpted by wind and sea over thousands of years. Marvel at the otherworldly “Queen’s Head” rock and wander through the park’s surreal landscape, dotted with fascinating formations such as the “Sea Candles” and “Fairy Shoe.”
- Jiufen Old Street - Next, we’ll journey to the historic mountain town of Jiufen, famously known as the inspiration for the animated masterpiece “Spirited Away.” Step back in time as you stroll through narrow alleyways lined with traditional teahouses, souvenir shops, and street food vendors. Immerse yourself in Jiufen’s rich history and folklore as you explore its charming streets and panoramic viewpoints.
- Golden Waterfall - Witness the shimmering cascade and be awestruck as it reveals its glittering glory – no pirate’s treasure chest could rival this! With water that gleams like liquid gold, you might be tempted to take a dip, but alas, no leprechaun’s pot lies at the end of this rainbow. So, snap some photos, bask in the brilliance, and remember: all that glitters… might just be water!
- Cat Village Houtong - Our next stop brings us to the heartwarming Houton Cat Village, a haven for feline enthusiasts and animal lovers alike. Discover a quaint village adorned with cat-themed decorations and inhabited by a friendly community of stray cats. Spend time interacting with these adorable residents and learning about the village’s heartwarming efforts to provide them with love and care.

Amazing tour in the north coast of Taiwan - We had the opportunity to view beautiful landscape of the coast shaped by wind, rain and sea.
We stopped in a beauty of a waterfall. On the way to the mountain. We had a really good lunch in Jiufen in a restaurant with a beautiful view of the valley and coast below the small town.
In the cat village we also visited the small museum of the coal factory, really worth the time spent.
Our driver and guide Ken was really really great and helpful and support us with our small baby. Reccomanded!!

Fabulous - Jim showed us some fantastic places. He had to contend with big crowds but we enjoyed ourselves. Had to ask to be taken back to ship after an exhausting
6 1/2 hours. Thanks

Great place - Houton cat village is a great place to take a rest. There are lots of cut and fat cat you can take lots of pictures. I’d like to go old streets when I am travelling in different countries. Jiufen is one of the most impressive place. Yehliu is also fascinating, the rocks are breathtaking. Last but not least, Miaokou night market is the best one I have visited in Taiwan, mouth watering food... it’ll forever in my memories!
