Xiao Liuqiu Travel Guide, Pingtung County

Fishing harbor Xiao Liuqiu Island

Xiao Liuqiu is the small island located in the Taiwan Strait, not too far southeast of Kaohsiung City. In recent years, the island has seen an explosion in numbers of tourists (mostly young local Taiwanese) who make the short journey by fast ferry to its shores to dive, snorkel, eat seafood, or just ride a […]

Qingjing (Cingjing) Farm, Nantou County

Qingjing Farm (清境農場) is a picturesque village located in RenAi Township, in beautiful, mountainous Nantou County. The private farm itself (Evergreen Grasslands) is extremely popular with Asian tourists and Taiwanese, who enjoy watching the “sheep show” where the animals get trimmed, but most foreigners and expats don’t quite understand the point of paying to see […]

Aowanda National Forest Recreation Area

aowanda national forest

Some of the most beautiful places in Taiwan are quite unknown, hidden, and really off the beaten track. Aowanda National Forest is such a place. For most Taiwanese, Aowanda is just a name you see on a road sign on your way to more popular touristic destinations in Nantou County such as Chingjing Farm, Mt. […]

Travel Guide to Kinmen Island in Taiwan

penghu taiwan

Facts About Kinmen (Jinmen) Kinmen, except for maybe Hong Kong or Macao, is the closest you can get to Mainland China without actually stepping foot on the landmass. In spite of being a mere 2 kilometers from Fujian Province’s Xiamen city and 280 kilometers from Taiwan, the Kuomintang (KMT) Party managed to hold on to […]

Bike or Hike to Baguashan from Sun Moon Farm

baguashan taiwan

This easy 16km round-trip walk follows a quiet country road just outside Taichung City. This hike to Baguashan is a great alternative to the trails in Dakeng! It takes about the same amount of time to get there from downtown Taichung and it’s surely not as crowded. The Hike to Baguashan – In Brief… The trail starts […]

Hike Eagle Mountain in Taiwan

eagle mountain taiwan

Eagle Mountain (2180m) is one of the most exhilarating hikes / climbs I’ve done in Taiwan. The views from the top are stunning, the vegetation is varied, and the trail is always well-maintained. It is without a doubt the nicest day-hike in Taichung’s vicinity. Eagle Mountain is located in the central part of Taiwan, in […]

Highway 11 Travel Guide in Taiwan

chenggong taiwan

If you only have time to do one road trip in Taiwan, it should be either Taroko Gorge or Highway 11. My personal favorite is the latest!  Some of the best beaches in Taiwan are located along Highway 11, on the East Coast, between Hualien and Taitung. On this page, I’ll show you my personal favorite ones, […]

Hehuan West Peak, 3145m

hiking taiwan hehuan west peak

The west peak is the most strenous day-hike in Hehuanshan Forest Recreation Area! But as my two good friends and I were looking at the trail topo over a feast of icy chicken at a restaurant in Wushe, we simply had no idea how vicious of a climb it was going to be. I can […]
