New Taipei City

As part of the Greater Taipei metropolitan area, New Taipei City is known for attractions such as Jiufen Old Street, Yehliu Geopark, and Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf. The region showcases a rich mix of urban landscapes, forested mountains, tea plantations, small towns, and dramatic rocky coastlines.

Starting your journey around Jiufen Old Street, you can hop on the Pingxi Line for a scenic railway adventure through the mountains, venture into the tranquil Shuangxi community for guided walks, or roll up your sleeves and try making chewy sweet potato balls. Nature lovers can walk along the Tamsui–Kavalan Trails or the eco-friendly Sandiaoling Tunnel. Visiting in November? Don't miss the Caoling Historic Trail, where seas of silvery grass sway in the breeze.
