Yehliu Geopark

Fancy traveling to another world? You can do that with a visit to Yehliu Geopark, a fascinating assembly of natural rock sculptures that bear uncanny resemblance to all manner of things: oversized mushrooms, different animals, bee hives, even the head of a queen. It’s said the park’s most distinctive sculpture resembles the head of ancient Egypt’s Queen Nefertiti, and in deference to her and the naturally formed sculpture, the park’s logo carries this motif. You may not find royalty here, but you will find beauty fit for holiday makers who appreciate interesting landscapes that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Weathering of the rock and sculptures continues to occur naturally, so visitors are kept at a distance. Regardless, the island perspective, ocean views, and the extraordinary geography combine to create the perfect scene for a beautiful travel memory or two.

Alishan Mountain

Officially a national tourist area, Alishan is a mountain range that follows the ‘spine’ of the island. The average peak reaches 2,500 meters and on a clear day, views as far as Yushan are visible. No visit to Alishan is complete without an alpine sortie to admire the sunrise that draws visitors from around the world, reaching the pinnacle by traveling the Alishan Forest Railway, an 86 kilometer network of narrow gauge railways encompassing 50 tunnels and 77 wooden bridges, that winds its way up the mountain. Beyond beautiful mountains, views, and scenery, Alishan is also famous for its tea, which locals and visitors appreciate for its unique flavor, no doubt enhanced by the alpine environment in which it grows.

Jiufen

Visit Jiufen Old Street, a historic hillside street in Jiufen, for a glimpse into Taiwan’s gold mining past. Apart from its 1890’s golden heritage, Jiufen holds an appeal that extends well beyond its seaside mountain location near the town of Ruifang. The quintessentially traditional Chinese (and some Japanese) architecture – think movie set design – is only enhanced by the cascade of gorgeous red lanterns that adorn the exterior of buildings and make a wander through the town by day or night a truly mesmerizing experience. Reaching movie audiences around the world as the backdrop for several films, Jiufen still buzzes with activity. Locals and visitors alike find their way to one of Jiufen’s delightful teahouses to savor both a brew and the passing parade.

Fort of Anping

Fort of Anping – or Fort Zeelandia – was built over 10 years from 1624. It was an important administrative, and strategic trading and defense hub while under Dutch rule. With a turbulent 350 year history that reflects the eras through which it has survived, it is known now as Anping Old Fort. The Dutch understood the imperative for market control and chose Fort Zeelandia for its position as the key intersection between trade routes frequented by the Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Chinese. This allowed the Dutch to control markets for the goods traded on these routes using their military, the soldiers of which were involved in its construction. When Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga) liberated Taiwan from the Dutch in 1661, he renamed it Anping as a nod to his hometown, and made it his residence. During the Qing dynasty, Anping was usurped by Tainan as the main political center for the island and the fort fell into disrepair. Coming under occupation again, this time by the Japanese, the original building constructed of a distinctive red brick, was almost completely destroyed, leaving only the remnants that now draw travelers curious to learn about its history.

Fo Guang Shan Monastery

Founded by venerable master Hsing Yun in 1967, Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Monastery is located in Dashu in Kaohsiung.

Apart from its rich history, the Fo Guang Shan Monastery is a beautiful complex of buildings which are diligently maintained, making it a must-see sight for visitors to Kaohsiung.

You may have walked a mile or two by day, but that shouldn’t stop you from stepping out under the night lights in Taiwan, especially if you’re a deeply passionate lover of all things culinary. If you’re on a Taiwan tour and it’s the evening, it can only mean one thing. You can’t go past the many and varied night markets, which are in virtually every town and city, so there’s no shortage of choice. For food lovers, Taiwan’s food markets are a mecca and definitely one of the fun things to do in Taipei, if that’s the only city you have an opportunity to visit.

Shilin Night Market, Taipei

Save yourself by day before heading to the Shilin Night Market in Taipei City. First opening in 1909, this food lovers’ market has some serious pedigree, not least because it’s the largest and most famous in Taipei. With over 500 vendors to choose from, it will be hard narrowing your must-try dish list to a sensible number, but while in Taipei, we recommend you opt for all the classics: oyster omelets, tempura, oyster and pork vermicelli, pan-fried buns, bubble tea in every flavor, fried chicken, and stinky tofu if you can bear the aroma. Incredibly, you will find street food vendors that have made it to the Taipei Michelin guide (amazing, we know!) at Shilin Night Market and other 70 odd Taipei night markets. Our best tip here. Eat. Walk. Repeat.

Ningxia Night Market, Taipei

If you’re after something smaller but with a comparable choice of Taiwanese street food classics, look no further than the Ningxia Night Market, located near historic Dadaocheng and Dihua Street. With a reputation for being the original organized food night market, Ningxia has great appeal for its history in the Japanese colonial era, when it started out as a small hub of street food stalls. And although the market closed for a period during, it re-emerged bigger and more popular than before, as locals and travelers alike sought to embrace and enjoy the delicious food, ambience, and local culture. With the unusual moniker “stomach of Taipei people’, Ningxia Night Market is home to some very special stalls, a number of which are multi-generational. There is the famous braised pork rice shop that is over 50 years old, a bar that is 80 plus years old, a stall selling oyster omelets that’s been operating 50 years, and a milkfish congee vendor that’s operated over 40 years. Think you might find it difficult to choose? Why not try our recommendations. Read more

Try the deep fried taro balls (芋丸) at the market’s most popular stand (yes, there’s always a line even before opening), which is the Michelin recognized Liu Yu Zi deep fried taro balls (劉芋仔芋餅). They sell just two items: Taro balls and taro balls stuffed with salted egg and pork floss. Other popular stalls to visit are Rong’s Pork Liver (豬肝榮仔) and Fang Chia Shredded Chicken on the Rice (方家雞肉飯). Some other very good reasons to visit Ningxia are the awesome traditional mochi and deep fried oysters that are on offer.

Liuhe Night Market, Kaohsiung

Wander around the Liuhe Night Market in Kaohsiung, which first opened in 1950. Liuhe Night Market has over 170 food stalls that offer an eclectic mix of classic local street food and snacks, as well as specialties from different cultures. Popular local Kaohsiung dishes include seafood congee, papaya milk, Tube rice pudding, cuttlefish soup, stinky tofu and sticky rice dumplings, however you will also find steakhouses, Mexican taco stalls, and even vendors selling Turkish ice cream.

Fengjia Night Market, Taichung

Fancy a visit to street foodie’s heaven? Go no further than the Fengjia Night Market in Taichung, which first appeared as a small market around Fengjia University. Attracting over 100 million visitors every year, it is arguably bigger than Shilin Night Market. Like every Taiwan night market, Fengjia has its signature dishes: Octopus meat balls, crepes, oyster omelets, deep fried chicken, honey lemon aloe vera drink, cheese potato, stinky tofu, and bubble tea. Once your appetite is taken care of, wander the surrounding area, which features upmarket department store shopping.

Dongdamen Night Market, Hualien

Expect a full-blown immersive experience encompassing food, music, and local culture when you visit Dongdamen Night Market in Hualien. A modern interpretation of night markets and an aggregation of the many small markets that operated in Hualien, Dongdamen only first opened in 2015. It caters to local and international visitors alike, and of course, it offers its share of unusual dishes. Fancy a serving of stinky tofu, grilled sausages, and braised pork belly rice? You’ll find it all here. An absolute must is the famous ‘coffin cake', a delicious thick stuffed savory sandwich of sorts and the cuisines of local Indigenous people.

Miaokou Night Market, Keelung

Originating during the Japanese colonial era, Miaokou is one of Taiwan’s most famous night markets. Like all its competitors for the top spot, Miaokou stakes its reputation on some of the finest street snacks. A popular destination for travelers between destinations, Keelung is popular for its ding bian cuo, pao-pao ice, salty chicken, oyster omelet, tempura, charcoal-grilled sandwiches, stir fried noodles, and crab soup. Are you hungry, yet? Make a visit here a priority if you’re in the area.

Luodong Night Market, Yilan

It seems like every market sprukes itself up as the largest and best, and depending on the location, the fans would be right. And so it is with the Luodong Night Market in Yilan. Boasting some of Taiwan’s most delicious street food, your biggest challenge when you explore the market is deciding what to try. We can recommend the famous local mutton stew with Chinese angelica, pancakes loaded with local fresh scallions - a Taiwanese favorite, the sweet red bean soup with glutinous rice balls, stinky tofu, and a deep-fried paste of chicken, pork and prawn meat. If you can’t fit it all in on a single night, head back for a second round and try the famous soup-filled buns, scallions and meat skewers, or the delicious ice-cream with ground peanut wraps.

Tiehua Music Village Slow Market, Taitung

For a night market with a difference, visit the Tiehua Music Village Slow Market in Taitung, located on Taiwan’s southeast coast. Housed in an abandoned old dormitory for Taiwan Railways Administration operators, this market caters to the creative indie artists and musicians in the area. If music is your thing, along with indigenous artisanal crafts, organic farm produce, food and snacks, candles, paintings, and more, then this is the market for you. While food and crafts are a feature, the different styles of music are what really make this market. Depending on the time of year and day of the week - the market is only open Wednesday through to Sunday - if you’re looking for things to do with kids in Taiwan you can enjoy the creative work of solo artists, musical students, bands, and local indigenous musicians.

National Theater and Concert Hall

For a contemporary expression of traditional Chinese architecture, visit the National Theater and Concert Hall. With its architectural design replicating that of traditional buildings, the National Theater and Concert Hall is certainly one of Taipei’s landmarks. The art center was established in 1987 and includes two main venues: A concert hall (in which resides the largest mechanical pipe organ in Asia) and a smaller recital hall. The National Theater has two performance venues too: the Proscenium Arch Theater and the Experimental Theater. and it is the most professional venue for performance art in Taiwan. For travelers with a passion for the arts, check the program of events for dates that align with your travel itinerary.

Taipei Arena

Taipei Arena, which also goes by the moniker ‘Taipei little big egg’, is a local landmark and Taiwan’s answer to Hong Kong’s Coliseum. With capacity for a 15,000 plus crowd and originally designed as a venue for sporting events like baseball, Taipei Arena has really gained its reputation by hosting music and other performing art concerts. Locals say that if you’re on the stage at the Arena, you’ve definitely ‘made it’. Within the Taipei Arena precinct there is also a year round ice-skating rink called Ice Land. So, if you need things to do with kids in Taiwan on a Taiwan family tour, keep this in mind as an activity to entertain them, as well as an opportunity to mix with locals who take advantage of its weekday availability for some icy fun.

National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts

National Taichung Theater

Now officially referred to as the National Taichung Theater, this visually distinctive building is highly regarded for its most unusual architecture. Of course the building’s theaters are impressive, however, it is the design both inside and out which earned it the nickname ‘Sound Cave’, that makes a visit to National Taichung Theater worthy of a visit, even if the arts are not on your radar.

Taipei Eye

Taipei Eye is a theater where traditional Chinese and Taiwanese performing arts are displayed. For a glimpse into the way that traditional creative arts are being preserved for future generations, artists deliver 90 minute shows that combine Peking Opera, folk arts and music, acrobatics, indigenous music and dance, and many other traditional forms of opera.

Taiwanese Opera

Performed by a number of troupes, perhaps the most famous among these are the Ming Hwa Yuan Arts and Culture Group and the Tang Mei Yun Taiwanese Opera Company. Check performance schedules for a rendition of the most iconic work of Taiwanese opera, the Fan River Fortress; a tale of complicated love. Taiwanese opera is physically demanding for performers, not least for its combination of martial arts, singing, and storytelling. Definitely worth a view for impressive displays of physical prowess and high drama.

Taiwanese Glove Puppetry (Potehi )

Whether you’re a child or a child at heart, experiencing a Taiwanese glove puppetry performance is definitely the stuff of one-off travel memories. By comparison with the other two forms of traditional puppetry - string-puppets and shadow puppetry - glove puppetry is more representative of Taiwan. For a particularly delightful experience, our tip is to visit the See-Join Puppet Theater, at which you can enjoy a live performance of this fascinating and colorful cultural art, while imbibing a delicious meal.

Taipei

As the largest city in Taiwan, Taipei has a veritable wishlist of nocturnal activities. Look out over Taipei at night with a visit to Taipei 101. Hike Xiangshan’s (Mount Elephant) trail to enjoy a different perspective of Taipei’s evening skyline. Take the Maokong Gondola to Maokong for an altogether different night view of Taipei, then relax at the teahouse for a cup of local tea.

Alternatively, make your way to the viewing platform of Aofeng Mountain for an altogether different Taichung night view.

Explore More

Kaohsiung is another precinct that delivers up memorable views of the city. Here you can take in the city skyline at Singuang Pier, stroll Central Park Kaohsiung, and appreciate the light artworks at Urban Spotlight.

Retreats and wellness

Traveling to get away from it all. Taiwan’s idyllic landscapes and stunning hideaways are the perfect locations for the traveler wanting to immerse themselves in yoga, meditation, detoxes, hot springs, traditional Chinese medicine with its herbal steams and acupuncture. Add a little Tuina massage, cupping, Taichi, and Qigong and you’ll float back to reality.

We’ve already highlighted Taiwan’s love of food.

Alternatively, visit the region where the Hakka people are located and enjoy authentic Hakka food. Farm stays are also available at an eco-friendly farm, and travelers can also visit minsu, a type of bed and breakfast that provides an authentic experience of the local area.

Tea and tea culture

A Taiwan tour is nothing without Taiwan tea, so including a little tea making and tasting experience is a must. Tea regions abound with teahouses, tea plantations, antique tea factories, and old-fashioned tea stores, so there’s no shortage of tea-related activities for a traveling tea lover.

Arts and crafts

Let your creativity flow when you participate in a creative class while traveling on your Taiwan tour. Make your own traditional paper lantern, gain an appreciation of the intricacies of Chinese embroidery and rush weaving with a class. Learn how to paint ceramics, make a hand puppet, or silk screen printing from some of Taiwan’s leading master craftsmen. We know you won’t be disappointed.
