Today, it has transformed into a global metropolis with laidback vibes, contemporary art, and scenic views of the port. It\u2019s also a bike-friendly city, with numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/cycling-routes-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cycling paths<\/a> within the parks.<\/p>\n<p>You must check out the <strong>Dome of Light<\/strong>, which can be found at Formosa Boulevard Station (aka one of Taiwan\u2019s most beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/beautiful-mrt-stations-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MRT stations<\/a>). This public art installation comprises over 4,500 coloured glass pieces covering 660 square metres. Created by renowned Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata, Dome of Light tells the story of human life in four themes: water, earth, light, and fire. A little bit like Avatar Aang, but not quite.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re done, make your way to <strong>Lotus Pond<\/strong>, which is surrounded by impressive Buddhist temples and monuments, including the <strong>Spring and Autumn Pavilions<\/strong>. There are the <strong>Dragon and Tiger Pagodas<\/strong> here too \u2013 it\u2019s said that you can reverse your fortune or gain more luck by running directly into the dragon\u2019s mouth and out of the tiger\u2019s. No harm trying, right?<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy a lovely stroll along the 15-kilometre <strong>Love River<\/strong>, which is littered with cool <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/hidden-heartland-cafes-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cafes<\/a> and runs all the way to Kaohsiung\u2019s port. Be sure to reach <strong>Glory Pier<\/strong>, situated at the east end of the river, when the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/where-to-watch-the-sunrise-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sun goes down<\/a>.

Photography: Min Huang via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What\u2019s the most populated city in Taiwan? That would be Taichung, which sits on the west coast. If you\u2019re aware of your <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-bubble-tea-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bubble tea<\/a> history, you\u2019ll know this city is where everyone\u2019s favourite milk tea was created. So, it goes without saying that you should pop over to <strong>Chun Shui Tang<\/strong>, one of the teahouses that originated the drink.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/street-art-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Street art<\/a> fans, you\u2019ll have a ball of a time pointing out all the cool murals Taichung has to offer. We never fail to drop by <strong>Rainbow Village<\/strong>, chockful of vibrant paintings and uplifting images. Every spot is a good place to capture photos for the \u2018gram! Don\u2019t miss <strong>Painted Anime Lane<\/strong>, a funky little alleyway filled with artwork of familiar childhood favourites like the Mario Brothers, Angry Birds, Pokemon, and even Mr Bean!<\/p>\n<p>Want more interesting attractions? Well, here are a few places to note: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartonking.com.tw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Carton King Creative Park<\/a><\/strong>, an aesthetically pleasing site where everything\u2019s made of paper; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flowerjs.com.tw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Zhong She Flower Market<\/a><\/strong>, a ginormous floral field with various <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-florists-singapore-flower-delivery-workshops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blooms<\/a> and props such as a windmill and a carriage; and the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmns.edu.tw\/park_921\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">921 Earthquake Museum<\/a><\/strong>, a memorial showcasing one of the worst natural disasters to hit the country.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we have to mention <strong>Sun Moon Lake<\/strong>. Located in Nantou County, this famous alpine lake is designated as one of Taiwan\u2019s national scenic areas and a top place to visit. Forget the hustle and bustle of the city and spend a full day cycling around and taking in the breathtaking scenery, hike up <strong>Maolan Mountain<\/strong>, and visit <strong>Wenwu Temple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

Here\u2019s where you can discover rich history, culture, and tradition, gorgeous natural beauty, and iconic landmarks. This is a charming destination that we have to include in our travel guide to Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>First up: <strong>Chihkan Tower<\/strong>, built in 1962 by the Dutch and originally known as Fort Provintia. Explore the beautiful courtyard, where you can see nine stone turtles that symbolise longevity and strength, as well as a broken-legged stone horse. Inside, you\u2019ll find artefacts and learn more about the landmark\u2019s history. Don\u2019t forget to make a wish on the second tower\u2019s upper floor!<\/p>\n<p>You also have to pay <strong>Anping Treehouse<\/strong> a visit. This popular attraction is named after the enormous Banyan tree on its premises and contains several interesting places worth checking out, such as a former merchant house and a quirky souvenir shop. Tainan also features several fascinating museums. Besides the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmtl.gov.tw\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">National Museum of Taiwan Literature<\/a><\/strong>, all frankfurter lovers must drop by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackbridge.com.tw\/page\/musuem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Black Bridge Sausage Museum<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Make a beeline for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/snailalley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Snail Alley<\/a><\/strong>, one of the cutest lanes in this city. It really plays up the snail theme, from the adorable artwork and colourful street art dotting the area to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/le_paradis401\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Patisserie Le Paradise<\/a><\/strong>, a cosy <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-new-cafes-singapore-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cafe<\/a> that sells snail-shaped cakes. Maybe you\u2019ll even get a glimpse of actual snails here! When you&#8217;re done for the day, take your shoes off and relax at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheSpring.Tainan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">The Spring<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Keelung<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280959\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280959\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-280959 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/taiwan-travel-guide-keelung-prakhunwicha-sararaksh-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Taiwan travel guide | Keelung\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/taiwan-travel-guide-keelung-prakhunwicha-sararaksh-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/taiwan-travel-guide-keelung-prakhunwicha-sararaksh-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/taiwan-travel-guide-keelung-prakhunwicha-sararaksh-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-280959\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snap some shots of the colourful houses along the harbour. Photography: Prakhunwicha Sararaksh via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you have time to spare, we recommend taking a day trip to Keelung, around an hour from Taipei. This underrated seaside locale is also nicknamed \u201cRainy Port\u201d because it often rains a lot here \u2013 over 200 days every year, in fact! While it may be a small city, that shouldn\u2019t put you off from visiting it \u2013 there are still plenty of things to see and do.<\/p>\n<p>Its most famous attraction is the <strong>Miaokou Night Market<\/strong>. Often touted as Taiwan\u2019s best night market, it boasts a variety of delicious street food such as thick crab and spare rib soups, fried fish paste tempura, \u201cnutritious <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-sandwiches-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sandwiches<\/a>\u201d (deep fried bread filled with sausages, braised eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, and mayonnaise) and shaved ice dessert.<\/p>\n<p>A stone\u2019s throw away from the night market is <strong>Khoo Tsu-song Old Mansion<\/strong>, an abandoned house built in 1931 for a prominent Taiwanese politician. The ruins are located on a hillside, offering panoramic city views. Check out the decorative tiles, round windows, and beautiful detailing on the frames while exploring this place. We reckon the mansion would\u2019ve been a great place to live in, if it wasn\u2019t in shambles.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to whip out your cameras and snap pics of the colourful houses at <strong>Zhengbin Fishing Harbour<\/strong> \u2013 these remind us of <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/what-to-do-in-joo-chiat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joo Chiat<\/a>\u2019s shophouses. While you\u2019re here, see if you can spot a boat called <strong>Folk Art<\/strong>, Taiwan\u2019s first floating art museum.<\/p>\n<h3>5.

The bustling capital has something for everyone: art and culture, history and tradition, nature and wildlife\u2026 it\u2019s a modern city every tourist will love.<\/p>\n<p>Studio Ghibli fans should know <strong>Jiufen<\/strong>, notably for resembling the ghost village in Spirited Away. This tourist destination is famous for its traditional teahouses and red lanterns, though it\u2019s a tad small and tends to get crowded. We recommend visiting early in the morning or sticking around after 4pm.<\/p>\n<p>The expansive <strong>Liberty Square<\/strong> (it measures 240,000 square metres) is home to three significant landmarks: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cksmh.gov.tw\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/npac-ntch.org\/zh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">National Theater and\u00a0Concert Hall<\/a><\/strong>. They\u2019re all within walking distance of each other; the memorial hall truly stands out, thanks to its impressive architecture. Don\u2019t be intimidated by the steps! You should also visit the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npm.gov.tw\/?l=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">National Palace Museum<\/a><\/strong>, which boasts a permanent collection encompassing over 8,000 years of Chinese history. Drop by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tfam.museum\/index.aspx?ddlLang=en-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Taipei Fine Arts Museum<\/a><\/strong> instead if the past is not your thing.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for something fun to do? Hit up <strong>Ximending<\/strong>, which is often regarded as the Harujuku and Shibuya of Taipei. This district has a thriving nightlife scene and is a good place to shop. It\u2019s also the main \u2018hood for the LGBTQ+ community \u2013 if you can\u2019t tell by the colourful crossing, known as <strong>Rainbow Six<\/strong>, at Ximen MRT station \u2013 so queer travellers will feel more love here. We also recommend hitting up <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huashan1914.com\/w\/huashan1914_en\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Huashan 1914 Creative Arts Park<\/a><\/strong>, where you can have a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/ultimate-picnic-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">picnic<\/a> or check out an art exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>With our handy travel guide, you have no excuse to do last-minute planning for your Taiwan trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We love packing our bags and making a trip to East Asia \u2013 Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong are some of our favourite travel destinations.
