Taiwan 5 Day Private Tour

Discover some of Taiwan’s most memorable landscapes and local experiences on this Taiwan 5 Day Private Tour, connecting the lantern-lit mountain town of Jiufen, central Taiwan, Sun Moon Lake and the high-mountain forests of Alishan.

Your journey begins in northern Taiwan with the dramatic mountain-and-sea scenery surrounding Jiufen. Explore Taiwan’s former gold-mining region, admire coastal views around Jinguashi and spend the evening wandering through Jiufen after many day visitors have returned to Taipei.

From the mountains of northern Taiwan, your Taiwan 5 Day Private Tour continues south through Hsinchu and Taichung, giving you a taste of Taiwan beyond the usual tourist route. Discover traditional local food and historic streets before experiencing the modern architecture and lively atmosphere of Taichung.

The pace slows as you arrive at Sun Moon Lake, where mountains surround Taiwan’s most famous lake. Cruise across the water, visit Wenwu Temple, discover the Thao community around Ita Thao and choose between lakeside cycling or a more relaxed scenic experience.
