Golden Jiufen: Old Street, Teahouse Bliss, Gold Museum & Beyond

About this activity

We kick off this epic journey by diving headfirst into the charming chaos of Jiufen Old Street. As you weave through narrow alleyways adorned with traditional red lanterns, you'll be tempted by the tantalizing aromas of street food delights. From steaming bowls of savory noodles to sweet treats like taro balls and mochi, your taste buds are in for a wild ride!

Next, prepare to be dazzled as we venture into the depths of Gold Museum. Dive into Taiwan's rich mining history as you marvel at vintage machinery, and unearth fascinating tales of the gold rush era.

But wait, there's more! We'll take you on a scenic drive to Jinguashi Guanhai Pavilion, where you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the coastline and beyond. Snap some envy-inducing selfies against the backdrop of the majestic Golden Waterfall and the rugged Nanya Rock Formations.

As the sun sets on our epic day of exploration, we'll whisk you back to Taipei, leaving you with memories to last a lifetime. So why wait?
