Shifen Waterfall and Shifen Old Street: A Dual Experience of Nature and Culture

The waterfall has a drop of 20 meters and a width of about 40 meters, with a powerful flow that cascades down like a silver curtain hanging between the valleys.

The old street is lined with various small shops selling local snacks and souvenirs, such as fragrant taro balls and crispy chicken wings stuffed with rice, attracting tourists to stop and taste. The most iconic activity on the old street is releasing sky lanterns. As the sun sets, the lanterns are lit and slowly rise into the sky, with countless lights dancing in the wind, reflecting everyone's smiles and wishes. Writing your wishes by hand and watching the lanterns slowly ascend, sending blessings and hopes to the sky, is the most symbolic experience of Shifen Old Street. ๐Ÿšฉ Bustling Crowds: The Charming Blend of Tradition and Modernity Whether on weekdays or holidays, Shifen is always crowded with tourists from all over, eager to witness the majestic waterfall and experience the charm of releasing sky lanterns.

It is recommended to be very waterfall, and parking is very convenient. You can also visit the very old street and experience the sky lamp culture. The nearby food is worth tasting.
