Planning your trip to Taiwan
Practical notes about Taiwan — checked as part of this page for tourism travellers.
Taipei's Jade and Shilin Night Markets
Taipei runs on food, and the night markets are its operating system. Shilin, the largest and most famous, fills a warren of alleys beside the old Jiantan stop with fried chicken steaks, oyster omelettes, and the stinky tofu that sends a sweet-sour alarm through the crowd. The smaller Ningxia market draws locals for its pepper meat buns and deep-fried taro balls, while Raohe's temple-backed lane offers a quieter, more storied stroll. Beyond the food, the Huaxi night market stays open into the small hours. The day side of the city is no less gluttonous, with the bakeries of Yongkang Street, the beef noodle houses of the east, and the tea parlours at Maokong brewing iron goddess oolong on the hills above the basin. Pick a market without a plan and the city tells you what to try next.
The Marble Walls of Taroko Gorge
Taroko Gorge is the island's dramatic signature, a canyon cut by the Liwu River through the eastern flank of the Central Mountain Range. The road hugs ledges blasted from the marble, passing tunnels, suspension bridges and waterfalls that plunge straight into the riverbed. The Shakadang and Baiyang trails take walkers beside turquoise pools and beneath overhangs where the rock gleams in veined bands. Swallow Grotto, a sheer-walled section near the visitor centre, clatters with the namesake birds that nest in pockmarks of the cliff. The gorge floor is a mix of marble pebbles and cold, clear water that stays icy even in summer. Permits are needed for the more remote hiking sections, so early planning matters. The whole canyon rewards a slow traverse, with viewpoints spaced hours apart and the mountains thickening into forested ridges upstream.
Tainan's Temple Lanterns and Old Quarters
Tainan, the island's former capital, leans into its history the way other cities lean into youth. Every neighbourhood holds a temple, and the old town's lanes funnel visitors between the Confucius temple, the Chihkan Tower and the God of War temple that glows with hanging lanterns in the evenings. The city claims the oldest streets in Taiwan, narrow allies lined with small shops selling shrimp rolls, coffin bread and the sweet-savoury rice cakes local to the south. Fort Zeelandia's red-brick skeleton surveys the harbour district, a reminder of the Dutch interlude that shaped the island's trade. Tainan's night markets, especially the Garden and Dadong, skew more local than Taipei's, with oyster omelettes and braised pork rice crowded onto fold-up tables. The pace is slower and the food more fiercely regional, which is exactly the point.
Alishan's Forest Railway Through Clouds
The Alishan Forest Railway inches up the western face of the island from Chiayi with the patience of a mountain train, switching back across ridges and through tunnels lined in cypress. The narrow-gauge line, built in the Japanese colonial era to haul timber, now carries travellers into a highland of cedar forest, mist and the famous sunrise point at Zhushan. Alight at Fenchihu for its old railway village and bento stalls, then climb further to the Alishan recreation area where dawn crowds gather above the sea of clouds that pools below the peaks. The forest trails around the station pass giant cypress groves, some of them claimed to be more than a thousand years old, and the mountain air is as pure as anywhere on the island. The scenery is best in the cool months when the valleys fill with the soft white sea.
