Free & Easy Taiwan – 7D6N Part 3/3 Jiufen, Shifen, Taipei, May 2023

Welcome to the grand finale of our 7D6N free and easy Taiwan adventure! For this final leg in May 2023, we transitioned from rural landscapes back toward Taipei, making a massive, cinematic day trip out of Taiwan’s most legendary mountain towns: Shifen and Jiufen. While you can take a combination of local trains and public buses from Taipei to reach the mountains, the winding roads are notoriously packed. We chose to hire a private driver for the day. It is an absolute game-changer—giving you seamless door-to-door comfort, zero queue times, and the complete freedom to explore at your own pace!…

Here’s exactly how our Hualien to Yilan day played out. Quick Overview Route Hualien → Qixingtan → Qingshui Cliff → Heping → Yilan…

This will be our first trip back to Taiwan again…
