New Taipei City Travel

The “Juming Museum” located at Jinshan district of New Taipei City is an outdoor museum occupying a grand expanse with many giant sculptures. One can’t get enough photos in a day with its superb art creation and natural sceneries; one can also enjoy the “candle stick rocks” known as the “couple’s rock” along with the lush green forest walkway of the “Lion Head Mountain hiking trail”. At the three centuries old “Jinshan Old Street”, there are the local delicacies and feature souvenirs (such as the duck, sesame rice crispy, yam and taro, etc); and at the “Yehlio GeoPark”, there is the famous “Queen’s Head Rock”, a picture with her is a must for the tourist while appreciating the rock formations most similar to that of Mars on this planet. Nearby Guihou Fishing Harbor allows you to savor the delectable “Steamed Wanli Crab”. Finally, move on to the hot spring hotels in Jinshan or Wanli and enjoy the precious “Ocean Hot Spring”, fulfilling a double enjoyment of the ocean view and hot spring baths.

Caoling Historic Trail is the most widely known section along the Tamsui Kavalan Trails. Along the way there are Xiongzhen Manyan Tablet, Tiger Tablet, and many other historic sites; setting off from the Historic Trail entrance and traveling all the way to Gongliao – it’s a great route to the mountains and the ocean both in one day! From Dali Train Station, tourists can enter the Historic Trail by passing by the Dali Visitor Center. The Trail is level and easy to walk along the way, and once arriving at Yakou Observation Deck visitors will also be able to spot Guishan Island in the distance. When visiting here in the fall, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the breathtaking beauty of blossoming snowy white silver grass. Once arriving at Yuanwangkeng Water Park, visitors can sit inside the wood gazebo to appreciate the small bridges, running streams, criss-crossed rice terraces, or they can also spend some relaxing time and play in the water at the shallow creeks. Walking from Yuanwangkeng Water Park to Yuanwangkeng entrance, visitors would take approximately 3.5 hours walking on the Trail itself. Beginner hikers can transfer via bus here to reach Fulong Train Station. Once arriving at Fulong Train Station, treat yourself with a hearty Fulong bento to cheer you up. Lastly, visitors can head to Fulong Beach on the way; in addition to playing in the water, Fulong Sand Sculpture Art Festival held here each summer will also offer visitors many awe-inspiring creative sand sculpture art works to enjoy! Even though walking the Trail won’t be too tiring, it is still recommended for the visitors to wear hiking boots to ameliorate stress when walking. Remember to drink water and also to bring your trekking pole – only thorough preparation will lead you to a safe hike into the mountains!
