Shifen waterfall is a well known must-visit scenic waterfall when visiting New Taipei, Pingxi District. Remember to take some good photos while crossing the suspension bridge when visiting, and the WATERFALL ! Recommend to bring umbrellas there in case of showers. Best time to visit will be summer as there will be lesser rainfall for a better dry experience. Taking public transport here will be quite tiring, recommend to hire charter over. #youtohbindou #shifen #newtaipei #Pingxidistrict

One stop for multi-stations to experience the historic relics, natural wonders, and cultural traditions 🤗 💫 Shifen Old Street Located down Keelung River from the waterfall area. The street is lined with souvenir shops, sky lantern shops and eateries. You don't wanna miss out the opportunity to experience this special tradition - setting up the sky lantern on the railway track and release it into the sky. 💫 Shifen Waterfall One of the most popular attractions in this area, widely-known as the “Little Niagara Falls” of Taiwan. 💫 Nanshan Village Not as popular as the old street and waterfall station, but for me, it's also worth for a visit to have a close look at the praying tree and enjoy the peacefulness. #timetotravel #culture #tripblazers

#myperfectstaycation Shifen waterfall is one of the best touristic destination in Taiwan. How to get there: It is 90 minutes away from Taipei station by train. From Taipei station, you need to transfer to Ruifang station and then get off at Shifen station.

#newyearadventure #shifen #taiwan #pingxi #attractions #waterfall #scenic #mustvisit When you are heading to Jiufen, do not forget to visit the very popular Shifen Waterfall located in Pingxi District at 226, Taiwan, New Taipei City. I'm not sure if car can directly go to this location but I see all tourists stop mostly at the shifen visitor centre, where there are ample amount of carpark, if you want free parking, there a few located away from the visitor centre just a really short walk. There is also a short walk required from the visitor centre to this scenic shifen waterfall, estimated a 15mins walk? You will be required to cross 2 bridges before you reach the waterfall. At close proximity of the falls, there is a small shop selling souvenirs and some drinks that you can visit too! Do take note, there are 3 lookout points here, 2 are located above one another right by the view point from the shops and another located about a short 4/5min walk away from the falls where it will take you away from the falls but right in the center of the falls. Its basically just a small walk towards the other end.

I have been Taiwan for a several times and this was my fifth time to be here. Taiwan is a place with full of love and delicious food here.

The name is called Shifen Waterfall and I loved it so much. Moreover, I went to the lover bridge to see the sunset and it was so pretty. I wish I can have more time spending in this wonderful place. Come along to Taiwan and find out what you like the most ! #taiwan #台灣旅遊 #台灣 #tripcom #travel

Had a really enjoyable trip with my family to ShiFen Waterfall in Taiwan. It was raining when we got there, but the hike to the waterfall was not so tough and even my 9 years old boy was enjoying it. The view is awesome and we managed to take a couple of good photos. There are also street hawkers selling Taiwan typical streets food along the way. Though we reached there in late afternoon, the air is really fresh and make you want to stay there for a while. Highly recommended if you are travelling to Taiwan.

Address - Shifen Waterfall, No. 10 Gankeng, Pingxi District, New Taipei City 226, Taiwan This is one hike that has a great journey and destination. Do remember to check the weather forecast before heading down as the paths here can get quite slippery when wet.
