Taiwan Day Trip to Jiufen and Shifen ft. Spirited Away Tea House and Sky Lanterns

In this video, join me on an unforgettable one-day adventure exploring Taiwan’s must-see stops – Taiwan Day Trip to Jiufen and Shifen ft. Spirited Away Tea House and Sky Lanterns; a Taipei day trip to Jiufen and Shifen and more! From the stunning formations at Yehliu Geopark to the charming streets of Jiufen, I’ll share my personal experiences, mishaps, and discoveries, like racing to see the iconic Queen’s Head and stumbling upon the Spirited Away-inspired tea house. You’ll also get a glimpse of the magical lantern release in Shifen and a hands-on pineapple tart-making class that wraps up the day with a sweet treat.

Places visited in this video include Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen, Shifen, and a local pastry factory, offering a mix of natural beauty, cultural landmarks, and unique activities. Thinking of planning a trip? I’ve got tips on transportation, what to try (or skip), and how to make the most of your time at each stop.
