Package Overview

Four nights in Taipei and two in Hualien — which is the right way round for Taroko Gorge. Day-tripping to the gorge from Taipei means eight hours on trains for four in the canyon; two nights on the east coast turns it into the best part of the trip. Taipei covers the 101 tower, three different night markets, Beitou's hot springs and the Jiufen lantern evening. East-coast train seats are reserved in advance, because the line sells out.

Trip Highlights

Taipei 101 observatory and Elephant Mountain at sunset
Taroko Gorge — the Shakadang trail, Swallow Grotto and Eternal Spring Shrine
Jiufen old street as the lanterns come on, plus Shifen sky lanterns
Yehliu Geopark's wind-carved rock formations
Shilin, Raohe and Ningxia night markets on three different evenings
Beitou hot springs, twenty minutes from central Taipei on the metro
The Qingshui cliffs dropping straight into the Pacific
