#Taipei Itinerary

If you’re looking for a perfect excursion, then Shifen Waterfall is definitely the place for you! Located in Pingxi District, New Taipei City, this scenic spot known as the "Niagara Falls of Taiwan" not only brings visual shock, but also makes people feel the power of nature. Are you ready for this feast for the soul and vision? Let’s embark on this journey together!

Take the Taiwan Railway from Taipei to Ruifang Station, then transfer to Keelung Bus to Shifen Waterfall. The whole journey takes about an hour. The mountain and field scenery along the way makes people feel happy, as if they have already felt the embrace of nature.

Upon arrival, first head to the Shifen Visitor Center, which provides detailed route information and maps. There are free public toilets and snack stands near the visitor center. It is recommended to replenish your energy and taste local specialties such as sausages and sweet potato balls! 🍡

Starting from the visitor center, walk along the trail for about 650 meters. Although this route is not long, the scenery is extremely charming. The Siguangtan Bridge along the way allows you to get a close look at the pothole terrain and Yanjingdong Waterfall. As the sound of the flowing water becomes clearer, you can't help but feel filled with anticipation.

When you finally arrive at Shifen Waterfall, the spectacular sight will take your breath away! The waterfall cascades down from a height like a silver ribbon, and the splashes of water sparkle like colorful rainbows in the sun. At that moment, it even moves people to tears. You will feel the shock and beauty of nature, as if all your troubles are flowing away with the water.

On different waterfall viewing platforms, you can enjoy the waterfall from various angles, and each perspective is picturesque. This is the best place to take photos. Remember to take a photo with the waterfall to preserve this beauty forever! 📸
