Take a step back in time with a full day tour of Jinguashi, Jiufen, and Pingxi, three charming northern Taiwan towns renowned for their charm, history and culture. Jinguashi is famous for its gold mines, so naturally we'll be bringing you inside one on the tour (the gold is long gone, alas, but you're free to look). Jiufen is the inspiration for the Miyazaki classic Spirited Away, so expect to be similarly enchanted as we wander the narrow cobblestone streets. And Pingxi is where Taiwanese people go to send their wishes into the heavens, literally, with the help of lanterns. (We'll teach you how, so bring a few wishes along).
Just a stone’s throw away from bustling Taipei, this tour will allow you to bask in the different old world atmospheres of three beautiful towns, take in astounding scenery and learn about Taiwan's cultural heritage.

A really great day trip! Our guide Jessie was super knowledgeable and friendly and spoke perfect English. The trip to each of the towns was very thorough with lots of chances for questions and photos and the sky lantern experience was really well organised! If I could give this tour more stars I would! The pick up at the hotel was also perfect with a WhatsApp message the day before to confirm all the details so that I was ready to go.
