URGENT! FLYING TMR! yehliu, jiufen, keelong

hey! will be flying off tomorrow morning so this is rather urgent! my itinerary is not completed yet! I have half a day left empty and i dont know if i can fit yehliu, jiufen and keelong in just half a day.

i%26#39;ll be at leofoo themepark from 9am to 2pm. do you think i%26#39;ll have enough time to visit yehliu, jiufen and keelong for the rest of the day? by the way, where exactly are those areas? are they in taipei or outside of taipei? how do i get to those places?

the day before this i%26#39;ll be going to beitou for hotspring in the morning then to danshui after that. i%26#39;ll reach danshui at around 1-2pm. should i move the danshui trip to after leofoo themepark and replace it with yehliu, jiufen and keelong? would this be better?

please advice!! thanks! (:

URGENT! FLYING TMR! yehliu, jiufen, keelong

It’s about 1.5 hrs bus ride from Leofoo Theme Park in Guansi Town, Hsinchu County to Taipei city. It’s about 1 hr 20 mins bus ride from Taipei city to Yehliu. Yehliu Geo Park closes at 1700 hrs.

Yehliu, Jiufen and Keelung are all outside Taipei city. Schedule your visit to Leofoo Theme Park (about 60 km SW of Taipei city) and Yehliu (about 14 km NW of Keelung city), Jiufen (about 14 km SE of Keelung city) and Keelung (about 40 km NE of Taipei city) on separate days.

Visiting Danshui after Leofoo Theme Park is possible. Visiting Yehliu, Jiufen and Keelung after Beitou on a separate day is possible.

It is across the road from Miramar Entertainment Park (Ferries wheel), not at Yuanshan MRT station. You would probably have dinner at Keelung Miaokou food street. Perhaps you can arrange dinner at Five Dime Driftwood Restaurant to another day.
