Spending a sunny day in New Ta

Spending a sunny day in New Taipei City? Here’s the ultimate itinerary to hit up Taiwan’s most iconic villages and dreamy landscapes 🐾🌄

First stop: Shifen Waterfall (226, Taiwan, New Taipei City, Pingxi District, 乾坑10號, open 09:00-16:30). Get there early to beat the crowds and soak in the mist of Taiwan’s “Little Niagara.” Don’t miss the Insta-worthy swing bridge and waterfall viewpoints! 🚶♂️

Next up, swing by Houtong Cat Village for a quick check-in with the cutest feline locals ever. Tip: the chillest photo spot is up by the stream away from the main square. Grab a snack, snap some cat pics, and enjoy the good vibes. 🐈⬛🍃

From here, head to Jiufen Old Street (Jishan St, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 224, open 10:00-20:00). Pro hack: visit Jiufen in the late afternoon! Crowds thin and you can catch the golden hour over the mountain rooftops. Sample street eats like taro balls, peanut ice cream rolls, and stinky tofu (trust, it’s worth it), plus browse quirky tea shops along winding alleys. 🌅🍡

Transport tip: Start at Shifen, then local train or taxi to Houtong, then bus or taxi up to Jiufen for sunset. It’s faster and you get the best flow! Pack a power bank, and bring cash—some stalls don’t do cards.

Weather is usually sunny but bring a light rain jacket just in case. Friendly reminder: watch your step on Jiufen’s cobbled paths!
