This has to be the best day trip from Taipei! In this episode we are visiting the lovely village of Shifen to witness a local tradition - the lantern release, but we didn’t expect to take part into a big celebration! Afterwards, we’re visiting Jiufen old street that feels depicted from a movie! Tasting the famous oolong tea and learning about the tea preparation process was one of the highlights of the day!
