14:00

Pick-up from your hotel in Taipei City

15:00

Stroll through Jiufen Old Street (about 3 hours *including tea time at Jiufen Teahouse) A popular tourist spot famous for "Spirited Away"! You'll feel the charm of the old townscape. Enjoy Jishan Street to the fullest while eating and looking for souvenirs.

17:30

Tea at Jiufen Teahouse (approximately 1 hour) Enjoy a traditional Taiwanese tea set in a nostalgic shop unique to Jiufen. *If a reservation cannot be made, you may be guided to another shop. *Please note that we cannot accept reservations for specific seats. *Children under 12 years old are not allowed to participate.

19:30

Sky lantern raising experience at Shifen Old Street or Jingtong Old Street (approx. 50 minutes) Jingtong is the last station on the local line, Pingxi Line. It has a nostalgic Taiwanese feel to it, and since it's not crowded, you can watch the sky lanterns at your leisure. Write your wishes directly on a large paper balloon-like sky lantern and let it fly into the evening sky using the power of heat. Legend has it that if you fly straight, your wish will come true. The sight of the sky lantern disappearing from view high up in the sky will get you excited. *One lantern will be given to you if you use a sedan, and two if you use a wagon.

22:00

Disband at your designated location such as your hotel or night market (times are approximate)

We signed up for this tour, which allows us some freedom of movement, as a group of eight friends, both male and female, in their 60s to 80s, in one car. We could chat in advance to discuss our route preferences and questions, so it was easy to use. It was a good deal because it included the cost of the lanterns in Shifen and the tea at Jiufen Teahouse. During our walk around Jiufen, we were taken to a spot where you could see the tunnel that was the model for "Spirited Away" and the Amei Tea House. Everyone was excited by the fantastic scenery with the lantern lights sparkling! The photos taken at each spot were as beautiful as professional photos, and they became good memories. Thank you to our guide, Lin Cheng Tai, whose motto is "guide you like family!" We appreciate Mr. Lin's hospitality. We would like to ask for his help again on our next trip to Taiwan.

I'm very glad I participated in this tour. Our guide, Mr. Lin, was very helpful. It was a private tour so it was easy to get around. He also explained the sights at each location and guided us around avoiding crowded roads. His attention to detail and service were excellent. He also told us about some recommended restaurants and pineapple cake shops that only a local could recommend. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone thinking about going to Jiufen and Shifen.

The driver suggested that the sky lanterns at night are not recommended because you can't see the scenery and there are few people and shops, so we changed to the usual Shifen (we also stopped off at Shifen Waterfall, which was not on the plan) → Jiufen course. In the end, we were able to see the trains running close to the passage in Shifen, enjoy Jiufen without worrying about time, and enjoy the night view along the sea from the bar, so we were glad we changed the route. The tea shop included in the plan was also very good. We were grateful that we could specify a point other than the hotel or the night market as the return point. The driver returned to the car early at each spot, so it was a tour with as much freedom as a private trip. Although it was necessary to talk to the driver during the trip, it was easy and we were able to efficiently visit the famous places without getting lost, and we spent a very meaningful half day.
