One of the premier destinations in northern Taiwan, Yehliu Geopark is home to a number of unique geological formations including the iconic "Queen's Head", and is located along a cape stretching out from the town of Wanli. The cape stretches around 1,700 meters, formed as thousands of years of geological movement forced the Datun Mountains to change their shape, jutting out into the ocean. Besides the Queen's Head, other remarkable formations include Sea Candles, Fairy Shoe, Ginger Rocks, Elephant Rock, Ice Cream Rock, Kissing Rock, and Princess' Head.

Shifen Old Street
A historic coal-mining town in the countryside of New Taipei City. Tradition states that flying these lanterns are symbols of your prayers to the gods for their blessings. For NT$150 for a single-color sky lantern and NT$200 for a multicolored one, you can have and enjoy such an experience. After choosing a sky lantern, you are given a calligraphy brush to write your dedication and wishes. You will also be given a chance to have a selfie with your sky lantern, after which you will light it up and release it to the sky. According to ancient customs, it also grants good health and fortune. Aside from its traditional architecture, the old street is an active rail line where trains regularly pass through. It lacks any fence at either side so tourists have to step aside while the train slowly runs along.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8-hour Northern Taiwan Tour with an English-Speaking Licensed Guide & Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.
How much does 8-hour Northern Taiwan Tour with an English-Speaking Licensed Guide & Driver cost?
+
Prices start at $240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Taipei usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8-hour Northern Taiwan Tour with an English-Speaking Licensed Guide & Driver take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Taipei is not rushed.
Is 8-hour Northern Taiwan Tour with an English-Speaking Licensed Guide & Driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Taipei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8-hour Northern Taiwan Tour with an English-Speaking Licensed Guide & Driver?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 8-hour Northern Taiwan Tour with an English-Speaking Licensed Guide & Driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8-hour Northern Taiwan Tour with an English-Speaking Licensed Guide & Driver?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Taipei can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Taipei and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8-hour Northern Taiwan Tour with an English-Speaking Licensed Guide & Driver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Taipei within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Taipei?
+
On Outty we rank every Taipei experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour, Private Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi, Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Taipei?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Taipei?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
