We met up at 9:30 AM. I knew they'd be waiting for us near the currency exchange with their nameplates, so we were able to meet up smoothly. The disembarkation from Bellissima was also smooth, with plenty of time to spare. Our itinerary was Shifen → Golden Waterfall → Jiufen. It seemed like the lantern vendors in Shifen were all set, and we were immediately taken to a place that wasn't on the railroad tracks, as shown in the photo, which was a bit disappointing. After releasing our lanterns, we had some free time to wander around the shops along the tracks. We took a few photos at Golden Waterfall and then finished. In Jiufen, there was an affiliated parking lot in front of Jiufen Xiahai Chenghuang Temple (Zhaoling Temple). The restrooms there were cleaner than I expected, so I was relieved to hear about the restroom situation. They told me to take a photo of the map, recommended following this route, and told me where to eat. We had about three hours of free time. We ended our stroll after about 90 minutes of eating and exploring. We had originally planned to get off at the port, but we were able to change it to Keelung Night Market, which gave us plenty of time to explore. The itinerary was a six-hour tour from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
