Donghe Travel Guide

Donghe 東河, in Taitung County, is one of my top 3 beach destinations in Taiwan. I almost want to claim that it’s my favorite place on the whole island, but I won’t say that, because it may give you expectations that could be too high. Why is Donghe so hot these days? Donghe is quickly […]
