North
The city that never sleeps—unless it’s napping in a cat café. Expect skyscrapers, dumpling lines, and night markets that feel like Vegas, but with stinky tofu.
One’s a nostalgic hillside town with tea houses and lantern-lit alleys straight out of a Miyazaki film, the other lets you launch glowing wishes into the night sky. Together, they’re Taiwan’s ultimate Instagram double act.
Rock formations shaped like queens and mushrooms. It’s like Mother Nature auditioned for abstract art school and nailed it.
Sunset strolls, riverside snacks, and Spanish forts. This is where Taipei locals go when they want a romantic date… or just fried fish balls.
Taipei’s natural escape where steaming sulfur vents, wildflower trails, and volcanic peaks meet hot spring baths that smell a little like eggs but feel like heaven. Hike in the morning, soak in the afternoon—it’s the ultimate city detox.
Think Seattle with extra seafood and perpetual rain. The night market here could feed a small navy, which is handy, since it’s a port city.
Central
Taiwan’s artsy middle child. Home to rainbow painted villages, bubble tea bragging rights, and a cultural scene that feels like Brooklyn with better night markets.
A mirror still lake wrapped in mountains, where boat rides feel like gliding through a postcard and cycling paths make you wonder if you’ve accidentally entered a commercial for serenity.
Where misty mountains, Hakka snacks, and hands-on DIY fun make rural life feel surprisingly cool and weirdly addictive.
South
A port city with big city swagger, like art parks, giant Buddhas, and a harbor skyline that looks best with a craft beer in hand.
Taiwan’s oldest city and proud foodie capital. Temples on every block, alleyways dripping with history, and street food so good you’ll consider moving in with your stomach.
A mega temple complex with golden Buddha statues so massive they make you reconsider skipping leg day.
From Yunlin’s soy-sauce turkeys to Chiayi’s gateway to Alishan, it’s a 2-county journey that proves Taiwan’s heartland knows how to spoil your stomach and your photo gallery.
The island’s tropical playground—beaches, surf, and sunsets that make you forget your sunscreen while you pretend you know how to snorkel.
East
Marble cliffs rise dramatically beside turquoise rivers, with hiking trails carved into the canyon walls. It feels like Yosemite packed its bags, studied abroad in Asia, and returned looking even more stunning!
From mochi filled night markets to marble canyons and the jaw-dropping Qingshui Cliffs, Hualien in Taiwan is equal parts chill coastal city and gateway to Taiwan’s most epic scenery.
Taitung: slow-life central with hot air balloons, surf vibes, and rice paddies so photogenic they deserve their own influencer account.
Hot spring town meets seaside playground, where scallion pancakes fuel your market strolls and steamy foot baths bubble up right on the street.
Mountains
This is Taiwan’s mountain celebrity. Think sunrise over a sea of clouds, ancient cypress trees, and a forest railway that makes you feel like Indiana Jones—if Indy carried bubble tea instead of a whip.
It is Taiwan’s second-highest peak and a full-commitment climb, where big alpine views come only after big effort.
The tallest peak in Taiwan and all of Northeast Asia. Climbing it comes with instant bragging rights, and it feels like Everest’s ambitious little cousin.
Hehuanshan is a drive-up alpine shortcut — sunrise above the clouds, hotpot by lunch, no hard hiking required. Qingjing Farm adds rolling meadows, grazing sheep, and misty peaks for a laid-back, Swiss-style mountain escape.
Offshore Islands
Remote and rugged with war-era tunnels, blue tears glowing in the sea at night, and a touch of military mystery. It’s like stumbling into Taiwan’s secret history club, with a killer ocean view.
Closer to China than Taipei, this island blends battlefield relics, sorghum liquor, and surprisingly peaceful villages. It’s half open-air museum, half countryside getaway, with bonus bunkers.
A sun soaked archipelago where basalt cliffs, turquoise waters, and seafood feasts set the stage. In summer, it feels like Taiwan’s version of the Greek isles—just swap the wine for squid skewers.
One’s volcanic with snorkeling and a rare saltwater hot spring, the other’s rugged and home to the Tao people. Together they feel like Taiwan’s untamed, off-the-grid siblings.
