Hop on a mini-bus for a free tour of two interesting heritage communities just a 20-minute drive away, Sanxia and Yingge!

Anyone who has ever spent hours stuck in an airport between flights will know how frustrating it can be. After all, there are only so many times you can wander around Duty Free.

For airline passengers passing through Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport with a layover of between 7 and 24 hours, the Taiwan Tourism Bureau therefore now offers daily free English tours. There are two 5-hour tours per day, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. 

Places you will be visiting:

• Ceramics Old Street　陶瓷老街
• Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall　中正紀念堂
• Golden bull-horn bread　金牛角麵包
• Qingshi Zhushi Temple　清水祖師廟
• Sanxia　三峽
• Sanxia Old Street　 三峽老街
• Taipei 101　台北101
• Yingge　鶯歌
• Yinge　鶯歌陶瓷博物館

To register for one of the tours, sign up at the Tourist Service Center in the Arrival Lobby at Terminal 1 or 2. Tours are operated on a first-come, first-served basis. There are 18 places available per tour. The Sanxia-Yingge tour starts at 8am, with a return to the airport by 1pm. To pass through Immigration, you’ll need a valid R.O.C. visa or be from a country eligible for visa-exempt entry.
