That’s a good idea

Why not join a day tour group to jiufen, shifen, etc? Klook etc has.

Hi, I’m planning a trip to Taipei and would like to visit Shifen this time. I’ve always been worried about missing the last train back to Ximending, so I ended up skipping Shifen on my previous trips. May I ask:

1. How much would it cost to take a taxi from Shifen to Ximending?
2. Besides releasing sky lanterns and visiting the waterfall, what other attractions or activities are there to do in Shifen?Thanks in advance .

Do u have a driver's license? If so , there are many things to do and sights near Shifen and Jiufen off the beaten path. U can even stay a night near Keelung. Alot of beach cafes nearby the coastal sights.

I would drive out there just to enjoy a cuppa joe at a beach cafe and hike to some scenic view anytime there is good weather.

Slipped my mind that there's our resident guide @dreamcast18 to loop in for advice.

Depends. If redeem the tickets at thsr website, can choose seats. If redeem at station, then cannot choose first.

I booed from Klook. Reserve at thsr website. Doesn’t look like can reserve seats or I’m missing it?

the seats are auto-assigned. After reservation, can see seat number assigned.
