Shifen Old Street is a Whole Mood

#springitinerary Shifen Old Street is one of those places that feels like a scene straight out of a movie. It’s this charming little town with train tracks running right through the middle, and yeah, the trains actually pass by while people are just casually walking around or lighting up sky lanterns. Super cool and slightly chaotic in the best way. The lantern thing is a must, you pick a color for your wishes, write them out, and then send them flying into the sky. Kinda cheesy, kinda magical. Plus, the street food? Absolute fire. Try the grilled mochi and fried mushrooms, thank me later. It does get a bit crowded, but it adds to the energy. Don’t skip the waterfall nearby either, it’s a short walk and totally worth it. Shifen’s got that old-school vibe mixed with a little magic. Honestly, it’s just a fun, feel-good spot.
