[2025 New Taipei City Attraction] Travel Guide for Shifen Old Street (Updated Mar)

At the end of Shifen Old Street, there's a striking building filled with people. It turns out to be a souvenir shop! The store offers a wide variety of items such as pineapple cakes, Taiwanese macarons, scallion crackers, as well as soft serve ice cream and drinks. There's even a dining area on the second floor, making it a perfect spot to rest after shopping. The best part is the generous samples! The shop gave out a whole Taiwanese macaron🤣 The packaging is also very exquisite, making it perfect for both personal enjoyment and as a gift. The interior decor is also very unique, with a sky lantern installation in the center that's perfect for photos, fitting the Shifen vibe perfectly! When I sorted through my photos, I realized that this shop has only been open for less than a month, no wonder it wasn't on the map. The most special item is their Danish pineapple bread, which looks like a sky lantern. The inside has the crispy texture of Danish bread, while the outside is pineapple bread. It sounds super appealing! I planned to buy it after watching the sky lanterns, but the shop was already closed QQ. I'll have to try it next time!

🌆 Be sure to visit Jiufen Old Street in Taipei to take photos of the night view! Shifen and Jiufen are usually planned as one-day tours, but if you choose to charter a car or join a tour group, be sure to choose an 8-hour tour that departs after 1pm and stays in Jiufen Old Street until around 8-9pm. This is because the night view of Jiufen Old Street is so beautiful! 🌙 If you only stay until 6-7pm, you might be too crowded to take photos. There are a lot of Korean tour groups recently, and the entire Jiufen is almost filled with Korean tourists, making it impossible to control the angles for taking photos. But after 8 o'clock, there are fewer tourists, but the lanterns are still lit, so the photo taking effect will be better at this time. 📸 So you can go to Shifen and Shifen Waterfall first, and finally go to Jiufen Old Street to enjoy dinner and enjoy the night view. Jiufen’s scenery is far better than Shifen’s, so be sure to leave enough time for Jiufen. You can go to Jiufen Old Street at around 5 o'clock. In the evening, stand on the mountain and overlook the coast and sunset. The scenery is breathtaking. 🌅 #Taipei #Jiufen Old Street #Taipei Attractions

#新北景点 Shifen Station is the largest station on the Pingxi Line and one of the busiest stations. Coming out of the station is Shifen Old Street, where a railway runs through the street and the narrow-gauge railway is crowded with tourists releasing sky lanterns. It is a very interesting scene. There are also several check-in spots nearby: 📍Jing'an Suspension Bridge: 128 meters long, it is the connecting bridge between Shifenli and Nanshanli. The suspension bridge has a long history. It was originally used to transport coal mines. Later, after the coal mines were stopped, it was converted into a pedestrian-only traffic artery. 📍Shifen Waterfall: A curtain-like waterfall between Dahua Station and Shifen Station. The pool below is very deep, and the waterfall cascades down, feeling like a piece of white silk. It is a 20-minute walk from Shifen Station.

my first trip to shifen. and not disappointed. it wasn’t a huge place but huge enough to experience the ancient train ride. nice food option there and a variety of drinks during this hot weather. sky lantern is not expensive and you can play with fireworks too. we went into a small store selling noodles and it tastes good! reasonable price too. the queue back to ruifang train station is quite crowded as many of us queues for the same timing. overall, it’s an interesting one!#shifen

This time we are traveling to Taiwan with both elderly people and children, so the itinerary arrangements will be easier. Of course, a day trip to Ruifang is not enough in Taipei~ In addition to the previously introduced Badouzi Station (which has a sea view suitable for the elderly, the rail bike is very suitable for children to experience~) For a detailed introduction, please read another travel note!! This time we will introduce Jingtong Station and Shifen Station. Jingtong Station is the terminus of the Ruifang Line and is the best place to take railway photos. Because the train runs only once every hour, there are basically no trains passing by on the railway. In addition, there are also souvenir shops and snack shops in Jingtong Old Street Suitable for a stay of about 1 hour Then you can head to the 10-minute station. Shifen is most famous for releasing sky lanterns. Basically, both sides of the railway are filled with passengers waiting to release sky lanterns. In addition, you can go to the suspension bridge and see Shifen Waterfall.  If you are physically fit, you can continue to Jiufen. But Jiufen is basically full of stairs, so we didn’t go there because we brought a baby stroller with us. #Taiwan Attractions

Shifen is the place if you wish to put up sky lanterns in Taiwan. This place provides local and tourists the option of sending off a sky lantern at any time of year, even outside of official festivals. We took the train in Rui Fang to Shifen, do note that the train run usually hourly to Shifen direction. The time scheduled is fixed so do ensure that you check the timing as the train depart punctually. Google map is a good gauge of timing as it shows the train timings too. A few stops away from Rui Fang, and once reached there will be an old street along the track where shops selling the sky lantern and foods. You can decorate your own sky lantern, and choose the colour for 4 sides and write your wishes on it. The colours are supposed to represent different themes. For example, yellow is for wealth, red is for health, pink is for romance and and blue is for good luck and you can choose other colours that suit you too. The shop owners will help you light the lantern and even take photos and videos before launching the sky lantern. We chose the first shop as you can ensure your photos taken does not have people behind it. It is a must visit place if you wish to 放天灯 or just soak into the atmosphere of an old street. #shifen

#passionpassport - Missed Taipei so much ever since my last trip in 2019! Had the opportunity to explore the very lovely Shi Fen area in search of Tian Deng (Sky Lanterns) but before that I got to explore the lakes and places that offered these wooden blocks thingy to write wishes and all. I came across some funny ones as well 😂 The scenery was really beautiful and felt really good! The weather in October is extremely chilling too. Food was available in some shops though it was quite quiet that weekend. Would definitely try out the Wooden Blocks wishing system the next time round I visit! Can’t wait for taipei to open up :)

Shifen is popular for its beautiful train railway track (that appeared in many popular taiwanese movies such as 那些年) and people usually visit to release the tian deng (lantern) for blessing & wishes. Which we paid to do the same as well, just for the experience. There’s a lot of stalls along the train railway & if you’re lucky, you can even witness the train passing by the rails !! this is when the locals would ask tourists to step aside for the train to pass before resuming their normal activities. Truly an interesting experience to bond with the locals & if you’d like to walk a few km from shifen, you can actually see quite a nice waterfall which we didn’t visit due to lack of time. On the way up to shifen & jiufen, we actually stopped by the golden waterfall for some quick picture time as well, however, it’s just a very small waterfall, though the color looked really special. #shifen #taiwanshifen #goldenwaterfall

They say that as time passes, these will also become more eroded, so make sure to take a picture of your life! 2️⃣ Shifen Laojie: You can take a wonderful commemorative shot by releasing a lantern with a wish into the sky on the train tracks in the village. It's even more romantic because the train actually passes by.💛 Don't worry about the lantern falling and starting a fire!

#favouriteitinerary #taiwan #thingstosee #thingstodo Shifen Old Street is not just a place, it’s a legend in the making. This quaint street, nestled in the mountains of Taiwan, is a blend of culture, history, and natural beauty, captivating visitors with its allure. The iconic railway tracks, which were once part of a booming industrial era, now serve as a backdrop for countless memories. Shifen is best known for the unique tradition of sky lanterns, where visitors write their hopes and dreams, sending them soaring into the heavens.

[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞️] Let's go to Sfen Laojie to fly lanterns on this trip!!✈️ 🛄ㅣSfen Laojie (十分老街) The biggest feature of Sfen Laojie is that the railroad runs through the middle of the town. Usually, the railroad is outside the town, but in Sfen, the railroad is the center of the market. As you walk around here, you can easily see people freely taking pictures or looking at souvenirs on the railroad. Not only tourists, but also locals naturally go back and forth on the railroad and spend their daily lives.😆 However, the train actually runs here! At a certain time, you can hear the sound of a train from afar, and the shop owners wave and say, "The train is coming!" Then, everyone gets off the railroad and gathers on the side of the road to watch the train pass right in front of them. The vibration and noise you can feel up close, and the tension of that moment were really thrilling. It was also impressive to see the peaceful atmosphere return after the train passed!!👍 What makes Spun Laojie even more romantic is the sky lanterns that decorate the sky. If you hold a sky lantern with a wish written on it on the old railroad, and shout "one, two, three!" and release it into the sky, the sky lanterns will slowly rise over the railroad and spread out into the sky~🎈 There are small shops on both sides of Spun Laojie. Most of them are located in traditional buildings full of old atmosphere, so when you walk along the railroad, you will naturally feel like you have traveled back in time!😆 I ate chicken wing fried rice (雞翅包飯) at the shop. Chicken wing bone removed and rice inside, it was crispy but moist inside, really delicious!!👍 If you visit Taiwan, enjoy a romantic moment walking on the railroad at Shifen Laojie~!!🫠 📌ㅣAddress: No. 81, Shifen St, Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 226 #Overseas travel #Places to visit in Taiwan #Places to visit in Taipei #Shifen Laojie #Shifen lanterns #Taiwan Shifen Lantern Street
