Northern Taiwan
Hiking & Cycling
The north's network of trails cross landscapes that vary from tropical jungles to alpine
meadows above 3000m. The roads offer some first-class cycling, with day and multiday
options along coastal routes, riverside paths and cross-island highways.
Hot Springs
With dozens of hot springs dotting the north, there's always a place for a dip somewhere
close by. And with facilities ranging from five-star resorts to natural pools deep in the
mountains, there's something for every taste and style.
Museums
Once a centre for traditional cottage industries such as tea, pottery and woodcarving, as
well as gold and coal mining, the north boasts a rich, little collection of museums high-
lighting them all. Master carver Juming and his internationally acclaimed works have
their own outdoor park.
