I took the NE coast tour to Chiufen Village and Two Colors Bay and the N. Coast tour to Keelung Harbor and Yehliu peninsula with Edison Travel. If you like coastal scenery, both are very worthwhile and nice, quick breaks from the city. Also, upon arrival at the airport go directly to the tourist information desk, in front of you as you exit immigration, and ask for the voucher for free entrance to the National Palace Museum.

Taiwanese are very friendly and helpful. National Palace Museum was great. Lots of lively activity at temples. Taroko Gorge worth the time, in part to get out of Taipei.

Go to Chiufen which is a town situated on a mountain. The view is fantastic and the village life is beautiful and charming. Also, go to Yeliou which is along the northern coast. The rocks and ocean scenery is breathtaking.

Stayed at Grand Hotel, Taipei - Taipei, Taiwan.
|
Hotel shuttle to the MRT station was very convenient, running every 20 minutes. The MRT subway system is very easy to use, fast, and inexpensive. Taxis are also convenient and modest in price. We particularly enjoyed the National Palace Museum and the Lung Shan Temple, both in Taipei. Almost everyone spoke some English, and signs are all in English and Chinese, so communication was not difficult.

I visited Taipei to see my old friend after 21 years, so did not visit so many places this time, but Mt. Youmei was a nice area to hike where you can take a deep breath to refresh. I did not know there was such a calm and clean area in Taipei. I'd recommend to take a walk in the park, and you can enjoy the birds talking, small animals and fresh greenery.

Taipei was great! Going up to Tamshui is definitely worth it even if you have little time. Take the boat to the huge bridge thing. Such a nice break from the crazy city stuff and things. On the way back to the city, check out the Kuandu temple. When you get to Kuandu station, ask which bus takes you there, the walk is a ways so I was told. The CSK memorial hall is also really beautiful. Visit chickennugget.org/adventure. Just click on taiwan for my full story.

Taipei is best visited with a Chinese-speaking friend or guide. There is not a great deal to see, but the food in Taipei is far superior to what is in China. The street life and Toroko Gorge ( outside the city) are two things not to miss.

Stayed at Grand Hi-lai, Kaohsiung - Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
|
Kaohsiung is a big city, but it always feels small and friendly and inviting, when I visit. Mount Shou, Chi-jin Island, and Chengching Lake are areas not to be missed. Less than an hour outside Kaohsiung is Meinung, with its Hakka Museum. Keep going north to Tainan to see the temples and forts built on top of 17th Century Dutch forts.
