Free tours in New Taipei City

Located in northern Taiwan, New Taipei City surrounds Taipei and offers a mix of cultural heritage, modern life, and natural beauty. From bustling districts to quiet mountain villages, the city is best explored slowly - and a free walking tour is a great place to start.

Free tours often begin in lively areas like Banqiao or Tamsui, where history meets riverside views. In Tamsui, for instance, a tour might include old streets, colonial buildings, and the famous sunset over the Tamsui River.

Another highlight is Jiufen, a hillside town with lantern-lit alleys, tea houses, and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. Many free walking tours recount stories of Jiufen's gold-mining past and its influence on modern culture. In contrast, the Yingge district is known for its pottery traditions, and Sanxia offers old temples and charming streets.

Nature is never far away. Some free tours point out how easy it is to reach hiking trails, waterfalls, and hot springs just outside the urban core.

Whether you are exploring historic quarters, cultural festivals, or natural escapes, a free walking tour of New Taipei City will help you experience the diversity of this vibrant region
