Shifen Waterfall and sky lanterns

Sven Travel begins the day in Jiufen, looking for breakfast and boba tea before making the trip to Shifen. The stop offers a chance to see the town’s sky lantern tradition. Sven releases a lantern with wishes and blessings, a moment that feels special during the visit. Getting between places requires public transport, and the trip includes delays and unexpected changes.

The travelers walk from Shifen toward the waterfall. Sven describes the path, the crowds and the mist around Shifen Waterfall, and shares his reaction to the view. The waterfall is the main daytime stop before the group continues toward Taipei.

Taipei night-market food

The evening takes Sven to Raohe Night Market, where the food stalls offer a wide range of savory dishes and sweets. He samples different snacks and gives honest reactions to their taste and texture. A chocolate custard pancake is a favorite, though he finds it hard to choose only one dish. Green tea and milk tea custard pancakes are also recommended. Another dish combines vegetables and spring onion with mayonnaise sauce.

The return journey takes longer than expected because trains and buses are delayed. Those transport problems add time to the day, but also create the opportunity to discover Raohe Night Market. The trip combines tea, a waterfall, lantern wishes and street food, and Sven reflects on the effort involved in navigating the route independently.
