We’re doing a counter clockwise trip round the Taiwan island trip.
This was decided beginning of January. So very last minute planning. But that’s how I get anything done. Because I’ve been talking about doing this trip for at least 6 months and no planning was done whatsoever till there was a deadline.
Unlike our last trip, I’m determined to document our trip for future reference. So check back here for a quick jump to specific destinations. I’ll put the links in as we travel.
This post will be my TOC for our trip. The plan right now is a slow travel trip, with focus on nature, food, and cultural experiences. We will be staying at Taipei, Taichung, Sun Moon Lake, Tainan, Taidong, Hualian, and Taipei again. Other cities will be day trips.
