Overview

Experience the enchanting beauty of Taiwan like never before on an 11-day adventure from the city of Taipei to the scenic east coast and beyond. This tour reveals the island’s best-kept secrets, from ancient temples hidden in neon cityscapes to mist-covered mountain villages.

Your journey kicks off in vibrant Taipei, home to the bamboo-shaped Taipei 101 skyscraper. Ride the historic Pingxi Railroad to the charming villages of Shifen and Jiufen — famous for glowing sky lanterns and teahouse-lined alleys. Nature lovers will be enchanted by Taroko National Park’s marble cliffs while the Liwu Valley suspension bridge will get adventure seekers’ adrenaline pumping.

Step back in time aboard the 'Breezy Blue' train, a 1950s icon, as you cruise along the rugged coastline toward Kaohsiung. Discover the Lotus Pond’s temples, explore the ancient forests of Alishan, delve into Tsou culture in the Chiayi area, and cap off your odyssey with a serene cruise on the glass-like waters of Sun Moon Lake, where you’ll see the stunning, 46-metre-high Ci’en Pagoda. Witness the stunning National Taichung Theater before getting acquainted with one of Taiwan’s modern delicacies: pineapple cake.

This value-packed escape includes return international flights, 10 nights of hotel accommodation, 11 meals and more.

Today, head for some more sightseeing in Taipei before continuing onwards towards Hualien City on the rugged and beautiful East Coast of Taiwan. The first stop in Taipei will be the National Palace Museum which boasts the world's largest and most impressive collection of Chinese art and artefacts, dating back more than 7,000 years.

After visit Longshan Temple, which is one of the most famous temples in Taiwan, drive past the Presidential Building before arriving at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, a national monument and tourist attraction erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China.

Continue onwards to Taipei 101, which was the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2010. Here you have time at leisure to explore the modern shopping centre and food court, or alternatively take a trip up to the observatory at the top of the tower (not included, additional cost paid on tour). Finish the day back at your hotel and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Overnight: The Place Taipei or similar, Taipei

Meals included: Breakfast

This morning, depart Taipei and travel to the nearby Pingxi district, where you will enjoy a quick ride along the Pingxi Branch Line rail. This is an 8-mile stretch of narrow-gauge railroad that runs alongside the Keelung River. Taking a ride on the Pingxi Line is like taking a step back in time and is one of the most popular day trips from Taiwan.

Step off the train in the town of Shifen, which is a popular town for launching sky lanterns. Sky lanterns are a Taiwanese tradition and Pingxi district is one of the few places where you are allowed to launch them. The paper lanterns inscribed with one's hopes for the coming year are launched into the sky and the preferred place to launch them is right on the tracks which makes for some great people watching. Here you will have the opportunity to launch a sky lantern (4 travellers to one sky lantern).

Afterwards, continue to the small mountainous village of Jiufen, made famous largely due to its similarity to the village in Spirited Away, arguably Hayao Miyazaki’s most popular movie. Here you will enjoy time at leisure to explore Jiufen and have lunch (not included). Here, you could explore the picturesque Old Street, which is a narrow alleyway lined up with small food stalls, tea houses, souvenir shops, and pottery stores. The most picturesque tea house in Jiufen is A-Mei Teahouse. This multi-story teahouse is strategically located just a little off the main street, perched on top of a hill. From their balcony, you can admire the picturesque view in front of you, Keelung Mountain to the right and the Northern shores of Taiwan on the left.

Continue onwards to Hualien City. On arrival, check into your hotel, where you may enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Please note: If the train happens to not be running due to unforeseen events, this short train journey will be replaced with a coach transfer. Today's driving distance is approximately 240km.

Overnight: Hualien Holiday Hotel or similar, Hualien

Meals included: Breakfast

Today, head out for an exciting journey into Taiwan’s most famous protected areas: Taroko National Park, a natural wonderland nestled in the heart of Taiwan.

This enchanting destination offers a mesmerising fusion of awe-inspiring marble cliffs, verdant forests and meandering turquoise rivers. Here you will enjoy the opportunity to explore majestic gorges, ancient shrines and cascading waterfalls.

Afterwards, enjoy a local lunch and then continue onwards to Shitiping on the coast, where you will find a huge, well-developed sea erosion terrace. The marine bench, raised coral reefs, sea ditches, and sea cliffs can be easily spotted, among which the pothole landscape is the best in Taiwan. Finish the day in Taitung City on the south East Coast of Taiwan, where you will check in for an evening at leisure. Today's driving distance is approximately 240km.

Overnight: Inn by the Village or similar, Taitung

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch

This morning visit Brown Boulevard which is a beautiful stretch of pedestrian only road located between the rice paddies and in the shadow of the surrounding mountains on the outskirts of the lovely town of Chishang. The area is famous for its quintessential East Rift Valley scenery which made it the perfect backdrop to an iconic Taiwanese advert for Brown Coffee. Here, you can choose to rent a regular bike or an e-bike, or just walk on foot along the road to soak up the scenery and country air and capture some great photos. During autumn, the harvest season, the paddies will turn golden brown creating even more breathtaking scenery.

Afterwards, transfer to Taitung train station and upon arrival at the train station, board the iconic ‘Breezy Blue’ train. Breezy Blue is a 2021 refurbished train from the 1950s that glides along the southern coast of Taiwan, passing by many forgotten stations. The “romantic blue” train evokes nostalgic memories for the locals who commuted to work and school on the blue diesel-powered train in the past. Serious work and research were done to ensure that travellers can enjoy the most authentic train experience. Everything from the exterior colours of the train to the interior setup was refurbished to recreate the nostalgic train experience. One of the highlights of the train ride is the open windows as you can feel the breeze as the train chugs through the island along the beautiful south coast, taking in the beautiful ocean and mountain views the whole way. The train terminates at Fangliao Station, where you will be met and transferred to the nearby city of Kaohsiung.

Kaohsiung is a massive port city in southern Taiwan. It's home to many skyscrapers, such as the 248m-tall Tuntex Sky Tower, and is known for its diversity of parks. Its focal point is the Love River, with walking paths and cafes along its banks and cruise boats navigating its waters. Shopping options range from high-end malls to the Liuhe and Ruifeng night markets. Today's driving distance is approximately 180km, not including the Breezy Blue train journey.

Overnight: Holiday Inn Express Kaohsiung Love River, by IHG or similar, Kaohsiung

Meals included: Breakfast

After breakfast, depart for Lotus Pond, a scenic area famous for its lakeside temples and iconic landmarks. Visit the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas, known for the "enter through the dragon, exit through the tiger" tradition symbolising good luck, and Zuoying Chiming Temple, dedicated to Guan Gong, a revered deity of loyalty and protection.

After lunch, continue to Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum, one of Taiwan’s largest Buddhist complexes. The museum features a massive Buddha statue, impressive temple architecture, and exhibition halls showcasing Buddhist art and culture, offering guests a deeper insight into Taiwanese Buddhism. In the evening, travel north to Chiayi and stop at Wenhua Road Night Market for free time and dinner at your own expense. Today's driving distance is approximately 120km.

Overnight: Holiday Inn Express Chiayi or similar, Chiayi

Meals included: Breakfast

This morning, travel into the mountains to the famous Alishan National Scenic Area. Here you can explore the beautiful natural surroundings, including lush forests, ancient trees and picturesque walking trails. On some days, the clouds are so dense and thick that the mountaintops appear like islands on the cloud ocean.

Afterwards, enjoy a Tsou cultural performance and tea tasting, with the opportunity to purchase the locally-famous indigenous millet wine. The Tsou are an indigenous people of central southern Taiwan. They are an Austronesian ethnic group numbered at around 6,000, making them the seventh-largest indigenous group in Taiwan.

Afterwards, return to Chiayi and transfer back to the hotel, where you will enjoy an evening at leisure. Today's driving distance is approximately 140km.

Overnight: Holiday Inn Express Chiayi or similar, Chiayi

Meals included: Breakfast

Today, depart Chiayi and travel to Sun Moon Lake, which is the largest natural lake in Taiwan. Here you will find a vista of rolling hills and mountains with the beautiful calm lake in front of it. On arrival, visit Ci’en Pagoda, which is 46 metres tall, bringing its top to an even 1,000 metres above sea level. It has an imposing traditional Chinese style and is divided into nine stories. Here you can climb to the top, where they have a magnificent view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Afterwards, proceed to Ita Thao Shopping District, a local market area where you may explore at leisure and have lunch (not included). In the afternoon, enjoy a cruise across the lake before travelling onwards to nearby Taichung City, where you will visit Taichung Fengjia Night Market before checking into your hotel for an evening at leisure. Today's driving distance is approximately 180km.

Overnight: Holiday Inn Express Taichung Fengchia or similar, Taichung

Meals included: Breakfast

This morning, visit the National Taichung Theatre, an architectural landmark in Taichung considered an architectural marvel because it challenges the fundamental rules of construction. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Toyo Ito, it is often referred to as the "world's ninth new landmark" due to its complex, organic form that mimics the fluidity of nature. Afterwards, continue to Miyahara, housed in the historic former Taichung Miyahara Eye Clinic built in the 1920s during the Japanese colonial period, this building preserves its classic architecture and is now a specialty dessert shop offering ice cream, chocolate and other local delicacies.

Afterwards, travel to Wuqi Fishing Port for lunch (not included), where you may enjoy fresh seafood at your own expense. Continue onwards to Taipei and stop at a pineapple cake factory in New Taipei City. Pineapple cakes became famous in Taiwan in the 1970s when a drop in demand for canned fruit left Taiwan with a massive surplus of pineapples. Local pastry chefs began experimenting with the fruit to create a shelf-stable product. They eventually developed the "pineapple cake" — a buttery, shortbread-like crust filled with pineapple jam which is famous across Taiwan. At the factory, you have the chance to make your own pineapple cakes and either eat them or take them back home with you. Finish the day at your hotel in Taipei. Today's driving distance is approximately 180km.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide:
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group.

Tour Leader:
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

Temperature: Average highs range from 20°C to 25°C, while lows range from 15°C to 18°C.

FLIGHTS
Seat Selection & Frequent Flyer Points:
We do not arrange seat selection. It is essential to highlight that some airlines do not allow pre-selected seats. We strongly suggest you contact the airline directly with seating allocation requirements and/or arrive at the airport earlier to arrange your seating. While we do not add frequent flyer member details to bookings, you can do this directly with the airline once you have your flight information.

Dietary Requests
Meal options and availability differ between airlines and routes therefore not all dietary requests can be accommodated. If your flight includes meals we will select the most suitable option available based on the dietary requirements you have specified. All meal requests are subject to airline approval and are not guaranteed, therefore we recommend preparing for your flight by bringing appropriate food for yourself, as required.

Passport Validity:
Customers must provide valid passport details either at the time of purchase or no later than 90 days before the departure date. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the booking. Customers will be responsible for any costs and fees incurred in this instance.

COACH TOUR
Meals:
For meals not included, the tour leader (when available) will offer assistance with reservations, suggestions and directions to local restaurants. It is your responsibility to notify us of any dietary requests/requirements.

Please note: We will do our best to meet your requests/requirements; however, we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to.

Luggage:
You will be responsible for all your personal belongings whilst on tour. You must carry your own luggage from the vehicle to the hotel room and back to the vehicle. The driver will assist with the uploading and unloading of bags from the vehicle.

OTHER
Mobility:
If you require wheelchair access please contact our friendly sales and service team to inquire on your behalf.

Fitness Level Required:
Adventure (and spontaneity) create some of the best travel memories. Bear in mind, your home schedules and timings might not be adhered to on tour - it's all part of the fun!

A moderate level of fitness will be required.
Expect a moderate pace of touring with a focus on guided tours that may include full days with guided walks of up to 2 hours at a time. You will require a general level of fitness for unassisted navigation of stairs and inclines, longer distances with possible periods of standing when visiting sites, walking on sloping, uneven ground or elevations. You will be responsible for your own luggage and have the ability to board all modes of transport without assistance.
Please note: It is expected that every traveller must be self-reliant and able to undertake all aspects of their own travel. Please speak to your booking agent about your personal circumstances and any assistance requirements to ensure this tour is right for you.
Please note: If you have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider prior to purchase/travel.

Sightseeing:
Please note: If entry to a site is affected by changes in operating hours or public holiday closures, your itinerary, where possible, may be adjusted, or a similar activity will be offered in its place (subject to availability).

Shopping:
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and confusing experience, especially when there is a language barrier. Please be very cautious when foreign currencies and prices are involved. If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts.
Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader.
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding shopping for further information.
