Taiwan Tour Package In October 5 Days & 4 Nights

A divine start to your journey

Day 1 of the tour hits the ground running and you will be driven to Sun Moon Lake with the help of our representative. Basking in the splendour of the lake view is the Wenwu Temple. It is dedicated to two important figures from the region’s history - famous Chinese philosopher Confucius referred to as Master of Pen, along with Kuan Ti (the deified figure of the Chinese general Guan Yu, considered to be the God of War), referred to as the Master of Sword. Thus, the name of the shrine came to be known as the “Wenwu temple”, roughly translating to “Literature Warrior Temple”. Near the Sun Moon Lake, we also have another famous attractions such as Xuanzang Temple and the Holy Monk Shrine. Once the sightseeing is done, we check into a hotel near Sun Moon Lake and turn in for the night.

In the lap of Buddhism and spiritual serenity

After breakfast at the hotel, the day takes us to some quintessentially sacred Buddhist monuments. Fo Guang Shan, the largest Buddhist monastery in all of Taiwan, is the first stop. Visit the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum, partake in some Buddhist food. Next in the evening explore the Lio-Ho Night Market that lights up the city streets, with its various sights and smells sure to cause sensory overload. An overnight stay in Kaohsiung itself is necessary to recover from it.

From the vibrant city to idyllic greenery

Once you’ve got some breakfast in your belly, we’re on a 104 km journey from Kaohsiung to Kenting National Park. It is home to many species of migratory birds. It also houses Taiwan’s only botanical garden. On a 37-mile drive along the coral-rimmed shoreline, taking us along three of Kenting National Park’s edges, we’ll see some of the park’s famed attractions. The Oluanpi Lighthouse also known as the Eluanbi Lighthouse, is situated on Cape Eluanbi, Taiwan’s southernmost tip. Along the southern edge of this region is the Maopitou Coastline, a popular spot for activities such as clamming, snorkeling and other aquatics. After taking in the national park’s sights, the tour continues along the South-Link Highway, to Taitung for an overnight stay.

The grandeur of the long coastline

Once breakfast is done, we continue along the east coast of Taiwan, the appropriately named East Coast National Scenic Area. Contained within the 170 km stretch of this area is a pocket-sized stretch of the coastline called Siaoyeliou (Xiaoyeliu). Sansientai (Sanxiantai), meaning “Terrace of the Three Immortals” is another feature of the Scenic Area, and is a nature reserve. Sites like this, as well as Shitiping (Stone Steps, carved by sea erosion), are why the Scenic Area has earned the tag of “Taiwan’s last unspoiled land”. There is also the Cave of the Eight Immortals to visit here, a series of holes in the cliffside, formed due to the constant pummeling from the sea waves. The caves also function as altars for the Gods, placed there by local worshippers through the inner network of caves. The road ends in Hualien late afternoon, where we stay overnight.

A day in the teeming woodlands

Post breakfast, we enter Taroko National Park. Taroko Gorge, the park’s marquee attraction, makes for quite the scenery, with imposing mountain peaks thousands of feet above. The Eternal Spring Shrine, another of the park’s popular features, is a marvelous construction, right on top of the Huangchung Falls. The Yanzikou trail referred to as Swallow Grotto due to the natural nesting places cut into its sides by the Liwu for spring swallow birds, provides a vivid look at the Taroko Gorge. Other notable features of Taroko National Park are the Tunnel of Nine Turns, the Cimu Bridge, flanked by marble carvings, as well as the Tienshang youth activity center, for hikers and such, interested in staying overnight in these beautiful surroundings. The Marble Factory in nearby Hualien may interest those looking to pick up a souvenir, such as the famous cat’s eye beads. A drive along the Su-Hwa Highway, which takes us through the 8-mile-long Hsuei-Shan Long Tunnel, get back to Taipei and board a flight to your destination.
