Easy · Day trip
~2.5h train (Pingxi Line) · free · sky lanterns
Easy. From Taipei, MRT to the main station, train to Ruifang, then the scenic Pingxi Line to Shifen (~2.5-3 hours total) and a short walk. Entry is free. Combine the falls with Shifen Old Street, the railway platform and sky-lantern releases. April-November for lush scenery and strong flow. Paths can be slippery; watch for sudden rain.
