Taiwan Day Trip: Shifen Old Street and the Waterfalls

When I was in Taiwan the other year, I searched for a quick day trip outside the Taipei City and came upon Jiufen, a town in the Ruifang district of New Taipei City.

Shifen Waterfall.

Shifen Old Street and Railway.

I found the day trip from Klook and took the shuttle bus option from Ximen to Jiufen with a stop. This was just perfect I thought because it will give me the freedom to go around and explore on my own which is very important to me. I am not very fond of tour groups and being led by someone on a day trip.

New Taipei City is the area surrounding the Taipei City basin. They are different and should not be confused. New Taipei City used to be Taipei country but when it overtook the population Taipei City and became strong economically it reached its city status but cannot be named Taipei City, hence New Taipei City.
