Taipei -> Yehliu -> Jioufen

Hi,

I will be visiting Taipei in November and want to take a day trip to Yehliu and Jioufen. Are there any buses that will take me from Taipei to these places (without having to go back to Taipei between Yehliu and Jioufen)? Thanks so much!!

HI, This is a copy of my earlier post:

Some comments on the Day trip up North.

Important Note: The GouGuang Bus North Station is now known as Taipei Intercity Bus Terminus.

I found it is not convenient to do Shifen on the same day if you really want to enjoy yourself.

I did the route as I recommend to all of you and found that doing just Yeliou,Jinguashi銆丣ioufen and Keelung is nice and not too tiring.

Take the Bus to Yeliou from Taipei Intersity Bus Teminus Counter 19 @NTD92/ per head.

The Buses are all new and Clean with good Airconditioning. The Drivers call out all the Major stops. There are toilets everywhere including one in Yeliou across from the New Temple being built when walking towards the Yeliou Scenic Area (No Soap or TP here). Yeliou Entry cost : NTD50 and NTD25 (Adult/Kids)

The Bus to Keelung is in front of the Convenience store across from where you get off at Yeliou.

In Keelung you have to cross the bridge to the other side to board bus to Jinguashi if coming from Yeliou:

Since My Sis loves Scenery we spent a lot of time in each place銆乤nd we saw Tour buses come and go quickly.

Jinguashi also needs a lot of walking especially if you hit the trails.Lovely scenes and very rustic,

Entry NTD100/- (Cheaper for kids -Was not paying attention:()

Forumers tip on getting off at 7/11 and walking down the steps is great too in Jioufen (No energy to walk up-did I mention something about getting old!!)However銆乨o this last before your return trip otherwise銆乷nce down銆乫ollowing the road out is residential area and leads to a large temple. There is a bus stop outside for buses that heads to Rueifang ,Keelung or Taipei.Lots of food here.';

Good to eat here first then walk it off before heading to Keelung Miaokow where you will also find lots of lovely local food as well.

In Keelung,getting to Miaokow: Getting off the bus銆亀alk back passed the Sea (Keelung River??)all the way to the otherside to the Macdonalds. Passing the shops in that street銆丮iaokow is on your left at the First Junction.Not difficult to find.

From Keelung Station you just cross the Street and walk along the Sea .......

Hi nuttyazn,

Thank you for the reply!!!

So I should take the Taipei Intercity Bus Terminus from Taipei to Yeilou. Then from Yeilou I can take a bus to Keelung from across the street where you I got off the first bus. But from Keelung how do I get to Jioufen and then back to Taipei? Also, do you happen to know how often these buses run?

HI,

In Keelung, cross over to the other side , there is a Bus stop there for Jioufen and Jinguashi (Sign boards in English/Chinese LED)

Take same bus back to Keelung, visit Miaokow if you want to visit the Night Market and eat some good different food and return to Tapei by Bus or train. I am not really sure about the frequency but I did not wait more than 10 mins in any of the places for buses.

Lots of locals also follow the same route :) When you alight the bus in Keelung, you can see a lot of buses stopping across the road, head for that stop

P.S. If you do end up in a strange nice place by following the crowd to a new location, do let us know on your return :):) Just kidding.

Sorry Old Links -New links here-same old Pics :):) :
