[2025 New Taipei City Attraction] Travel Guide for Shimen Cave (Updated Mar)

This rice terrace is called 百年梯田（bainian titian) in Shimen district, new taipei. Located near the qingshan waterfall, this beautiful terraced field offers great view and serenity. There weren't many people when I visited, since it's located in rural area. Great place to consider if you are bored with the hustling busy city routine! There are also farmers who sell their own produce such as brown rice, black rice, etc.

📍Address: Taipei Tiaoshi Coast It is more than an hour away from the city one way. It is a good idea to arrange a day trip along the coastline or take a look while driving. 🏖️Environment/Facilities: The northern coastline can basically be connected to the scenic spots by taking bus No. 862 or 863, but please note that the arrival time on Google Map is not accurate. I have to wait for more than ten or twenty minutes every time before the bus really comes. If there is a display screen for the next bus on the bus stop, it is best to refer to it. In addition, the sun is really strong in July and August. The northern coastline is all outdoors, so you really need to be mentally prepared. 🗓️Itinerary: I will provide a reference for my own itinerary. I took a one-day trip along the coastline from east to west: in the morning, I took a bus from Taipei to Jinshan Old Street and then took a bus to Tiaoshi Station. If you are interested, you can go to Shimen Cave Laomei Green Stone Trough, Twenty to thirty minutes walk to Taiwan’s northernmost lighthouse and Fuqi Fishing Port Return to Taipei in the evening 💞Recommendation reason: Laomei Green Stone Trough is not crowded, and it is a bit unexpectedly beautiful! When I went there at one or two o'clock, only half of the beach was green. The aunt selling water suggested going at the tide so that you can see the green of the beach, which is usually around 4:30. You can check it in advance. The nearest unnamed coffee shop in Tiaoshi is actually on the right side of the Tiaoshi platform and is a little short. You can only take pictures from this angle. After I left, I found that there seemed to be another coffee shop along the hillside that was better for taking pictures. In addition, the several small windows on the platform itself are very interesting and are great frames for taking pictures. #台灣遊 #台北 #旅遊 #跳石站 #跳石 #跳石海岸 #台北之旅

The North Coast is one of the most beautiful coastlines in Taiwan! The diverse geological features, combined with the blue sky and ocean scenery, extend from Gongliao to Sanzhi, Shimen, Tamsui, Bali, and other areas, with fun and photogenic attractions along the way. If it's your first time here and you don't know what to do, just head to Shimen and Jinshan! Shimen one-day tour itinerary: Fugui Cape Lighthouse, Laomei Green Reef, Laomei Maze → Shimen Cave → Baisha Bay.

Shimendong is a sea cave on the Northwest coast of of Taiwan. It is actually not a cave, rather a stone arch formed by erosion. It is just next to the highway, looking out to the ocean. It was low tide when we arrived and relatively cloudy so the view wasn’t as nice as seen on the net. There are stairs for your to walk across the arch but we did not do so. We did not spend too much time there since there wasn’t much to do but you can spend some time there watching sunset. Getting there: Bus / taxi. Entrance fee: FOC
