Itineraries
3 WEEKS
Ultimate Taiwan
Start with a few days in
Taipei
to see the sights and catch the groove of this dynamic
Asian capital. It has the best Chinese art collection in the world, a thriving street food
and coffee scene, a living folk-art heritage, and some world-class cycling and hiking in
Wulai
and other on-the-doorstep locations.
Then hop a train to
Hualien
and spend two days wandering the bedazzling marble-
walled
Taroko Gorge
. More scenic delights await down Hwy 9, which runs through the
lush Rift Valley. Take a train to
Yuli
and hike the nearby
Walami Trail
, an old patrol
route running deep into subtropical rainforest, then recuperate at
Antong Hot Springs
.
Next, head to
Taitung
and catch a flight or ferry to
Lanyu
, an enchanting tropical island
with pristine coral reefs and a unique indigenous culture.
