2025 Ruifang District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

The Baoshi Mountain Trail in Jinguashi extends all the way to the mountain peak, where you can take photos with a sense of extension. The observation deck offers a 360-degree panoramic sea view of the Yin-Yang Sea in Shui Nan Dong. It is usually frequented by many hiking enthusiasts. The trail is only 166 meters long, making it the shortest scenic trail with a sea view in Taiwan, suitable for the whole family to enjoy together. I love the mountains and forests, and even more, I love food. This time, the indulgent hiking trip was for the nearby secret outdoor forest restaurant~ Gamins!

#tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน Location: Tingtao Café, Ruifang Café, Taipei, Taiwan Atmosphere: The view along the way up to this café is very beautiful. I feel very grateful to have this café. This café is located far away. After hiking for a while, I found a café with a beautiful view and where I can sit, drink, and relax. It's so fulfilling.

🌟Environmental features hima cafe | leisure • Coffee is a good place to relax, and the interior design is simple and comfortable. The first floor of the cafe is an internal area, suitable for gathering with friends or enjoying coffee alone. There is a tatami area on the second floor, and you need to take off your shoes to enter, adding to the Japanese style. 🍹 Delicious drinks and desserts My friend and I ordered a glass of iced Americano, which was also paired with chocolate whipped cream rolls. The combination of the two was very pleasant. There are also quite a variety of hand-brewed coffee options. I chose Colombian Pink Bourbon, which has a unique and intoxicating taste. 🌄 Magnificent second floor view The view from the second floor is truly amazing! Since the cafe is built against a mountain, the endless mountains, sea and clouds can be seen outside the glass on the second floor, making people feel the magnificence of nature. However, because it is so popular, there are so many people. It is recommended that you line up early, because there are only 6 small round tables on the upper floor. If you are late, you will have to wait slowly. 🌼 Conclusion hima cafe is not only a great place to enjoy coffee, but also ideal for enjoying the view. Whether you are gathering with friends, quietly enjoying the scenery, or you are a photo enthusiast, this place will surely satisfy you. Words and words cannot express how extraordinary this place is, go for it! 📍 Address: No. 18, Shuqi Road, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 224 🕰️Business hours: Closed on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday to Friday 11:00-18:00, Saturday and Sunday 11:00-17:00 💸 Per capita consumption: 200-400 TWD #TaipeiTravel #coffeeshop #seaviewcafé

In Shuinandong, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, the Yin Yang Sea, with its golden and azure waters, is a unique geographical landscape in the coastal area of ​​northeastern Taiwan. The nearby Jinguashi Mountain is rich in pyrite, which dissolves into water to form iron hydroxide, which absorbs mud and sand to form yellow-brown suspended matter, creating the beautiful yellow and blue gradient scenery of Yinyang Sea. The color of the seawater in the bay is yellow-brown due to natural minerals, which forms a sharp contrast with the blue seawater in the open sea. It is called the natural color palette.

#afternoontearecommendation #newbeicity #ruifang #shenaoyugang #cafe There was no rain today, so I came to Laodu Coffee next to Shen'ao Fishing Port for afternoon tea. Unfortunately, there was no mille-feuille cake this week, so I had to order a heavy cheese flavored cake. Unexpectedly, we really liked the taste of the cake and the coffee was also of great quality, which completely overturned our previous impression of this place. Facing the fishing port and the clear water after the rain, the entire fishing port had a different beauty than before!

"Ah Hua Shark Soup" is located in Shen'ao Fishing Port. After climbing the Elephant Trunk Rock Trail, you must have a bowl of the greenest shark soup/small roll rice noodles, feel the sea breeze, and breathe in the unique smell of the sea by the harbor. It is affordable, delicious and filling.

Coming here, with the mountains behind and the sea in front, There are also great American dishes. Even I, who have eaten a lot of delicious food, can’t stop praising it! My daughter was amazed by the geographical location. Let's put it in our pocket list right away. I feel like it has beaten many famous online stores in Taipei. If you want to see the mountains and the sea but don’t want to eat ordinary seafood, you can come here to eat. Because they will go to Kanzaiding, the most famous Keelung fish market in northern Taiwan, to buy seafood early in the morning, so the seafood items on the menu make me, as a local of Keelung, directly recognize and admire their dedication and professional cooking! The whole store adopts the self-ordering mode so there is no service charge. As a handicraftsman, the layout of the store also makes me admire it very much. I sincerely recommend this American restaurant that is run by a family with great care.

Today these towns attract visitors with historic charm, the tranquility of the mountains, and sweeping views of the sea. To walk along the steep stone stepped alleys here is to travel back to yesteryear Taiwan.

Browse the many shops and stalls, stopping for a meal at one of the cafés or restaurants. Sip a hot beverage from a charming teahouse and try the sweet potato boiled soup. Learn about a popular local activity in the Jiufen Kite Museum and stop at the Jiufen Visitor Center by the police station for advice about daytrips and any events taking place. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations

#San Diao Ling #San Diao Ling Waterfall Trail #Shan Yu Coffee #Kuan Ge's Place Yesterday I suddenly wanted to go to Sandiao Ling, which has been very popular recently. I checked online and found that it was only a 25-minute drive from my home, so I decided to drive there to take a look. There were few people and cars along the way, and the entire trail was almost reserved for me and my two dogs. We walked slowly and took pictures slowly, and accidentally walked to the best shooting spot at Sandiaoling Railway Station. I thought to myself that I must bring my SLR out next time to practice taking pictures. Suddenly I really enjoy this quiet afternoon. I can temporarily put aside my worries and forget about the epidemic. It really makes me feel refreshed. As I was walking, I saw the recently popular Shanyu Coffee. Next to it was the Sandiao Coal Mine site. The red brick house next to it used to be the inspection room before entering the mine, and now it has a sign that says "Shanyu". But seeing that there were still quite a few customers inside, I didn't want to go over to join in the fun. But the tung flowers falling to the ground made me very happy! There were also a few customers at Brother Kuan's place, which was only a few steps away. However, there was a little rain falling, so I was afraid of an afternoon thunderstorm, so I hurried to get in the car and go home. It is worth taking a train to visit this place again and experience it slowly. It really feels like you have gone back in time and space. It is very special! #花赏攻略 #Afternoontea推介 #Goodplaceforfamily #Goodplaceforsummer

This was one of my most magical trips. The Pingxi Lantern Festival is one of the most awe-inspiring events on the Taiwanese calendar. Although the fireworks at the Taipei 101 building help ring in the New Year with a boom, this festival, which also takes place the first day of the lunar new year, is a much more spiritual affair. The lanterns—many of which are covered with words, pictures, and prayers—represent the hopes and wishes of the people who release them. Take the train from Taipei Main Station to Ruifang Station, and then transfer to the Pingxi line, which, as luck would have it, brings you directly to Pingxi. The trains are cheap, but during lantern festival, they can get quite packed. Visitors can also take a bus or hire a taxi, but traffic can be heavy, so the train tends to be the best option. #tigeryear2022 #cny #lanterns

In little more than two years, Houtong, which is located 35km east of Taipei in Ruifang district, managed to reinvent itself as a complete cat village. Today, more than 200 cats live in Houtong and a tourist industry has emerged with shops, cafes and restaurants catering to the many visitors who descend on this feline frontier every weekend. How to get there : The easiest way to get here is by train from Taipei Station. Take the Yilan line (most often the terminus will be Su’ao) and simply get off in Houtong about an hour later. #unforgettableexperiences #local #cat #taiwan #travelinspiration
