Tours Around Taiwan - Some Recommendations
Taiwan has much to offer those tourists who have chosen it as their
travel destination. Picturesque landscapes, ancient temples and the
busy industrialized cities provide travel agencies with endless
possibilities of tailoring multifarious tours around Taiwan.
Our article shall give a brief overview of most popular tours around
Taiwan, and for more detailed information on schedule and
prices it is
recommended that you consult your agent.
In general, tours may be divided into different categories, including
regular organized tours or customized itineraries, guided or
self-guided ones, half-day, full-day or several day-tours. Study the
programs of online travel agencies to book in advance or turn to
administration of the hotel you are staying at for their special offers
as you travel Taiwan.
The country's capital, Taipei
ranks first in the lists of popular tour
destinations. The National Palace Museum with its rich collections,
Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Presidential Office, the skyscraper
Taipei 101, Lungshan Temple and the night markets are just a few sights
that you will see during your morning, afternoon or night Taipei tours.
Pick-up right from your hotel lobby (and drop-off back there)
– and for several hours you will get in the whirlpool of the
bustling Taiwan's life.
Want to get closer to the indigenous culture while you travel Taiwan?
Choose a tour around the famous village of Wulai located in the
mountainous area of Northern Taiwan. Here you will have great fun
riding cable-cars (push-cars), watching folk dancing of local
aborigines or even joining them, indulging into a hot spring bath with
curative properties, admiring the silky waters of 80-meter-high Wulai
Waterfall, etc.
You can also travel Taiwan with some folk arts tours that will take you
to old city districts (like the old street of Sanshia or Tihua,
Yingko's Ceramic Street), beautiful temples (Pao An temple, Sanhsia
Tsushih temple, Foguangshan Buddhist centre with the 40-meter Buddha
statue, to name just a few) and historic places (e.g., Tainan's Chihkan
Tower of Fort Provintia).
Should you like to spend the vacation time improving your health and
cherishing your beauty, take the famous hot spring baths that can be
situated open-air in the numerous national parks (Taroko National Park,
bamboo-covered Hehuan mountains, hot springs of Yangmingshan or
Wenshan, etc.), or have a relaxing massage of your tired feet.
