Observe nature at its best at Shifen Waterfall. Surrounded by the thick forest, you can witness the power of water as it falls from the tall rocks into the green pool below. You'll have the chance to light a paper lantern and send it out into the sky--with a wish--watch as it flies over the waterfall. Wear footwear with good grip, as the path can get pretty wet around this spot. Take a break at the visitor center, where you can enjoy a meal or some liquid refreshment. Our New Taipei journey maker website makes visiting Shifen Waterfall and other New Taipei attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.

Amazing waterfalls. Fairly easy to get to by bus and a short walk. Well worth checking out. You can also light lanterns nearby which is a local tradition done on the train tracks near the station.

Wonderful waterfall. It’s about 600m walking from visitor center. The trail is so stunning and we got to cross 2 suspension bridge. There are various spots to enjoy the waterfall that offer different view. Next to the waterfall is a row of shop selling souvenirs and taiwan traditional food.
