2018 Taiwan Free Travel Guide

Taiwan is the largest treasure island in the motherland. It has very rich natural resources and tourism environment. A variety of thoughtful services will make you full of home-like care. Everything here has a natural and familiar flavor. Below Let me share with you my 2018 Taiwan independent travel guide.

Due to the convenience of work, I have been to Taiwan eight times. Let me take stock of some places that travel agencies will not take you to. It is safe to travel independently.

I have worked abroad for many years, mainly in the Asia-Pacific region. Due to work needs, I have been to Taiwan eight times. I always went out during work breaks, so I never went with a group, but always followed my colleagues. Let’s travel freely together.

The following is a list of Taiwan’s beautiful and unpopular attractions.

The following are some beautiful photos

I have only stayed in Taipei and Taichung, but I have never been to Tainan, so I don’t know for sure.

My colleagues and I rent a car every time we go out for fun. In Taiwan’s ports, taxis are very professional. If you hire a taxi, hiring one

is equivalent to hiring a private taxi. The tour guide, after getting on the bus, will take out a thick travel brochure with a planned route, which can be covered in one day. You can choose your favorite attractions for a day trip to Taipei or a day trip to Taichung. . You may need to sign up for a tour group to go back to some attractions, but for some attractions, you can only charter a car to go there by yourself. If you are traveling independently, it is recommended to charter a car or rent a car and drive it yourself, otherwise you will not be able to go to some places.

First of all, there is a place that I think is the most beautiful, called Gaomei Wetland. When I went there, photographers were taking pictures in the wetland. There were no tour groups here, they were all individual tourists.

Gaomei Wetland is located to the west of Qingshui Town, Taichung County

Walking to the wetland and doing some activities. Secondly, when watching the sunset at Gaomei Wetland, you should also pay attention to whether the weather is clear. If it is cloudy, You should think carefully, because the Gaomei Wetland on a cloudy day is very windy and not very attractive

Bus

Guoguang and Dajiaxing Juye Passenger Bus get off at Qingshui Station and transfer to Qingshui Station Juye Passenger Transport, the shuttle bus bound for Gaomei gets off at the Wangcuo terminal and is a 5-minute walk away.

Self-driving

From downtown Taichung to Gaomei Road, you can pass through the center of Gaomei area. Turn left at the intersection of Sanmei Road and Revet Road until the end. Reachable.

Friends around me say that I have been to so many places and countries, and it would be a pity not to post some travel notes to recommend to everyone. Many people around me ask me, so I thought I could share it with everyone. I hope Everyone also had fun. The travel notes do not show faces, which is a bit insincere! Thank you Mumu for your support

It is recommended to bring more windproof jackets or jackets. Girls should not wear skirts. The observation deck made of wooden planks stretches deep into the wetland, which is the best place to watch the sunset. Due to tides, the observation deck will close at 5:15pm. The sunset happens between 4:40 and 5:10, which should be the best time to watch it.

The sunset in Gaomei Wetland is beautiful. A row of windmills in the distance shine against the setting sun. A group of birds fly over the wetland from time to time, adding a bit of vitality to the beautiful scenery. .

There are many places where you can go paragliding in Taiwan. Yilan, Hualien, Pingtung and other places are available. If you are in Taipei, you can go to the nearest Wanli Paragliding Paraglider, take a bus from Taipei to Wanli Qiaotou Station and get off, and call the Mustang flying instructor.

I have gone paragliding twice in Taiwan, and this is the second time

After arriving at Wanli Qiaotou Station, Coach Ye Ye drove down from the mountain and took us up together. The mountain is not too high. It was only ten minutes away, so I was quite excited to experience paragliding for the first time;

After experiencing skydiving, the height of the paraglider was not bad. It did not make me nervous but made me eager to fly. Paragliding is the same as skydiving. There will be an instructor behind you to control the direction of the parachute. Unless you have a flight certificate, you will not be allowed to fly alone. The cost is 600-800 yuan. I don’t remember exactly. Our colleagues were paragliding in the United States. Umbrellas cost more than 200 US dollars, so this one is considered cheap. I will also take a video of the whole process, and take a look at it occasionally when I come back

It’s a good way to keep it as a souvenir. The fee is included and is a common fee.

The first time I played,

the shots were not as good as the second time.

Everyone, hold the camera,

Don’t forget Photographed from top to bottom.

When wearing a green skirt for the first time, girls should wear pants.

Don’t be like me!

The sunset in the Gaomei Wetland and the wind turbines in the distance contrast with each other, creating a unique artistic conception. Step on the winding and beautiful wooden plank road and enjoy the scenery. The romantic scenery of the setting sun reflects the reflection of the setting sun, and the beauty in the silence is intoxicating.

After the paragliding, you can continue to take the bus to nearby Jiufen, which is the original version of Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. It is a city and small town on the mountain, which is very quaint.

Jiufen is located in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. It prospered in the early days due to its rich gold mines, but declined after the mineral deposits were exhausted.

I have been there twice during the day and twice at night, mainly because there are so many delicious food and the night view will be more beautiful at night. Taiwanese braised pork rice costs about 5 yuan a bowl, and there are also Taiwanese taro balls, which are delicious, unlike some unscrupulous restaurants that taste like plastic.

It is also beautiful during the day

Go up the stairs

The houses in Jiufen conform to the mountainous terrain and are built one after another, with narrow streets and steep roads. The stone steps, high, low, and winding, are the most distinctive landscape in Jiufen. When walking, you feel like you are walking on the roof of your home.

The streets in Jiufen are all narrow and small, among which Jishan Street is the busiest. This flavorful old street embodies Taiwan's unique food culture and is the most prosperous business district in Jiufen. There are more than a hundred small stores on both sides of the street, including traditional snacks, restaurants, and folk craft shops. Food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation are all included. You won’t want to miss Jiufen’s unique taro balls. This traditional snack made of taro is a purely handmade delicacy. The red bean and taro ball soup has the sweetness of taro and a smooth texture, and is full of color, flavor and flavor. In addition, there are also strawberries, taro sweet potatoes, fish soup made from fresh fish, crispy and delicious chicken rolls, etc. The variety and choice are really dazzling.

The local snack Taro Sweet Potato, Jiufen’s first tea house and Jiufen Cultural and History Studio are all located on this road. However, due to the impact of civilization in recent years, Jiufen has gradually stepped into the footsteps of modernization. The stone-paved streets are lined with shops, and people on the streets are crowded with each other, but there is absolutely no loud hawking or loud music. People walked slowly, looked carefully, and stopped to ask the price if they liked something. Although there were many people, there was no noise, which made people feel very comfortable.

In the picture, everyone is queuing up to buy taro balls, and then sitting on the steps next to them to eat;

Taiwan’s cold brew tea is delicious, and Taiwan’s climate is particularly suitable for growing cold brew tea , sold in many stores there

There is also a very important one that sells grape jam, which can be drunk with water. It is the best jam-blended juice I have ever tasted in my life.

Yeliu Geopark is located in Wanli District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. Yehliu is a promontory protruding from the sea (Datun Mountain System), about 1,700 meters long. Due to sea erosion, weathering and crustal movement, sea erosion has been created There are endless strange landscapes such as caves, honeycomb rocks, candle-shaped rocks, tofu rocks, mushroom-shaped rocks, pot holes, and dissolution plates.

Queen's Head - a business card of Taiwan's tourism industry

The mushroom-shaped rocks are the most representative topographic landscape of Yehliu, especially the graceful and noble shape of "Queen's Head". It has long become a symbol of Yehliu Geopark. The Queen's Head itself is a mushroom-shaped stone, and the reason for its formation is roughly the same as that of other mushroom-shaped stones. Because of its slender neck, graceful facial lines, and look like a noble queen sitting quietly with her head held high, people call it the "Queen's Head."

The strata of Yehliu are mainly composed of inclined layered sedimentary rocks. The formation of promontories and bays is due to the erosion of weak rock formations and concave formation of bays, while the hard and resistant Yehliu honeycomb rock and weathering windows There are two single-sided mountains in the local area. There is a narrow sea erosion platform between the two single-sided mountains. For the sake of distinction, the single-sided mountains near the entrance of Yehliu Geopark are called "big single-sided mountains", and The one-sided mountain located at the end of the headland and deep into the sea is commonly known as "Guitou Mountain" by the locals.

The rocks with strong erosion force protrude relatively to form a promontory.

It refers to a mountain shape with a steep slope on one side and a gentler slope on the other side. The main reason for its formation is that the strata are lifted up unequally.

Because I go to Taiwan conveniently for work, I mostly travel in the afternoon and evening. However, many scenic spots are also suitable for sunset. go. Now let me introduce to you a super beautiful place, Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf

I feel like it has the style of an Italian cruise terminal!!

This is at sunset, The building over there looks like a palace, but it's actually just a hotel, but it shouldn't be cheap. I've never stayed there.

Tsui Fisherman’s Wharf was originally just a traditional small fishing port. Now, Fisherman’s Wharf not only has a beautiful floating pier, but the most famous attraction of Fisherman’s Wharf is the more than 330-meter floating pier. The wooden plank road, embankment coffee and oversized port park form a circular circulation line, allowing people to fully and smoothly experience the style of the fishing port. Standing on the trail, you can overlook the Guanyin Mountain on the opposite side and the Taiwan Strait at the end of the estuary, and watch the sunset from Falling slowly on the horizontal surface.

Every time people look at this photo of mine, they think I am giving the middle finger

Taiwan’s Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf is located in Tamsui District, New Taipei City, on the right bank of the Tamsui River outlet. It was formerly known as Tamsui Second Fishing Port. , completed in 1986; Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf is connected to the Datun Mountains to the east and across the Tamsui River to the west from Guanyin Mountain. The famous "Tamsui River Sunset" can be seen here at a glance. It is the most beautiful place in Tamsui, Taiwan. One of the eight scenic spots.

Just take a walk in this place. There are guitarists singing and people taking wedding photos. When you go up the plank road, it is made of wood. It is really special and special. What a wonderful feeling this is. I haven’t read enough books so I can’t describe it. Anyway, you must go and take a walk.

And you must go and walk around this colorful bridge. Hey, I saw a lot of fishermen living on the boats next to it.

Suddenly I felt that life was so pleasant, chasing fame and fortune, but in the end I didn’t know why.

At that time, I really wanted to resign and go home. But then I thought, oh, my home is not that beautiful. If I don’t do this job, I won’t have the chance to go out and wander around.

Everyone must go to the end! At the end is the first photo. It’s too dark to take a clear picture. Anyway, it’s like the sea reef scene in the anime, with a lighthouse standing in the distance, just like Japan. I think everyone ignores the beautiful scenes in cartoons, they are so beautiful that they cry. Let me sit here all night! Can you make a floor? Forget it, I have to go to work the next day.

The weather is cold now. Although Tainan is relatively hot in Taiwan, you still need to wear a thick coat when going around the island to Taipei. When traveling, if you want to take classy photos, you must have the following clothes and shoes. Shoes: high heels. Flat shoes, sneakers (suitable for various occasions), clothes, shirts, thick jackets, warm pants, casual pants, dresses (thick or thin, in various colors), silk scarves (beautiful for taking pictures), pajamas, you can sleep It can also be worn inside a jacket, so you can take beautiful photos on various occasions!

No. 21 Mustang Flying Paraglider. You can ask the local taxi tour driver to give you a phone number to take you there, or you can check on the local website to call Ye Ye. It's best to go in the afternoon. Let’s see if the wind is better, and we can go gliding first, then go to Jiufen to eat, and we can go shopping until the evening.
