HUA LIEN 花莲 - 00:45
Hua Lien is known for its majestic views and the best way to experience this is to paraglide over the valley

00:58 - Taroko Gorge National Park 太魯閣國家公園
most people visit Taroko Gorge for good the plunging canyons flanked by marbled mountains. It’s essentially the Taiwanese Grand Canyon.

01:16 - Zhuilu Old Trail 錐麓古道
Zhui lu Old Trail was created by the indigenous people to connect their villages but today, it’s a slightly challenging walk. This trail allows you to have an amazing view of the canyon.

KEELUNG 基隆 - 01:51
A city full of ancient forts and colourful photo spots, Keelung is a charming port city in the northeastern part of Taiwan.

The island park is a favourite amongst locals and you can find them swimming in the natural rock pools during the warmer summer months.

Taichung is Taiwan’s second-largest city and is the gateway to the country’s mountainous regions.

05:12 - Taichung Old Railway Station
Decommissioned in 2016, the red brick building was in fact the Old Taichung Railway station. It no longer serves as a railway station today but is now a train museum and exhibition space.

05:27 - Shenji New Village 審計新村
take a trip back to the 60s in this village. Today it houses cute cafes and craft stores that will easily take up half a day to explore.

05:52 - Taichung Second Market 台中第二市場店
This is one of the best places to get breakfast. Food vendors close as soon as they run out of food so breakfast is a good time to try the best of the lot.
