Where to go this summer? Green Island, of course! 📝 Itinerary: 1️⃣ Day 1: 🚞 Taipei Main Station → Taitung Train Station: About 4 hours by train Arrive at Taitung Train Station at 12 PM, then take a taxi to Fugang Harbor (about 15 minutes). 🚢 Board the ferry to Green Island at 1:30 PM (the journey takes about an hour). (Note: There are only two ferry departures daily—9:30 AM and 1:30 PM.) Arrive on the island at 2:30 PM, drop off your luggage at your accommodation (some lodgings offer luggage transport services; check with your specific accommodation), and rent an electric scooter. 🛵 If it's your first time riding an electric scooter, reserve about 30 minutes to learn. ♨️ Head to Zhaori Hot Springs at sunset. (Remember to buy shrimp and eggs beforehand to cook in the hot springs; prices at the hot springs are much higher.) Hot springs operating hours: 4 AM–11 PM. You can also visit early in the morning to catch the sunrise. ✨ On your way, you'll pass by Dabaisha Beach. If you're not afraid of the dark, you can stargaze there at night. 2️⃣ Day 2: Morning: Snorkeling Afternoon: Island tour by scooter Recommended stops: Dabaisha Beach, Youzi Lake, Niutoushan (Ox Head Mountain), Human Rights Memorial Park, and any other spots you like—feel free to stop anytime. Evening: Intertidal zone exploration 🍹 At night, you can also visit a bar for a few drinks. 3️⃣ Day 3: 🏖️ Visit any spots you missed during your island tour. Shop for Green Island specialties like deer meat, dried fish, and edible bird's nest. 🐟 Honey-glazed flying fish is a must-try! For postcard and stamp collectors, buy postcards at roadside convenience stores and get them stamped at the visitor center. 🚢 Board the ferry at 2:30 PM to return. 📝 Travel Tips: 1. Remember to take motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding the ferry. If you're prone to seasickness, choose a seat at the back of the first floor. 2. Apply sunscreen diligently—Green Island's UV rays are extremely strong. If you'll be in contact with seawater, use ocean-friendly sunscreen products. 3. Green Island has a post office ATM, but it only accepts Taiwan bank cards. Most transactions on the island are cash-based, so bring enough cash to avoid issues withdrawing money.

The first time you visit Lanyu, you'll fall in love with this small island, whether it's the mountains, the sea, or the rocky landscapes and grasslands along the way. As soon as you step ashore, you're greeted by a stunning blend of azure seas and lush green mountains. The salty sea breeze fills the air, and you instantly feel relaxed. We rented scooters to explore the island, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking. Iconic spots like Twin Lion Rock, Dragon Head Rock, and the Grassland Plateau were all incredibly majestic. Especially at the Grassland Plateau, where the sea breeze and the seamless connection of the blue sky and ocean were so soothing. Ocean activities are a must-try here. We went scuba diving 🤿, and the water was crystal clear. Coral reefs and tropical fish swam right beside us, and I even saw a sea snake, which got me super excited! It felt like stepping into an underwater paradise 🐠. We tried flying fish dishes, including pan-fried, charcoal-grilled, and fried rice versions, all bursting with flavor. We also had the famous taro ice cream, which was so refreshing to enjoy by the coast. In the evening, we visited Dongqing Village, where a small market and lively crowds created a vibrant atmosphere. The sunset reflecting on the ocean along the way was absolutely stunning 🌅. At dawn, we took a peaceful stroll along the beach in Langdao Village. The sunlight glimmered on the traditional canoes, creating a serene and healing moment. During these three days on the island, there was no noise, just the sea breeze, sunshine, and a lingering desire to stay. I highly recommend visiting an offshore island during the Dragon Boat Festival to unwind and heal your soul! Before leaving, I bought some postcards, hoping to always remember the clarity and beauty of this place 🌊🌊🌅.

Due to its excellent geographical location, it is known as "the most beautiful station in Taiwan." Standing on the elevated platform, you can see the boundless sea view in front of you. The train shuttles through it as if it is running on the sea. The scene is so beautiful that it takes your breath away.   Although Tara Station ceased passenger service in 2006, it has become a popular tourist attraction due to its unique scenery. The station retains the original platforms and railings, and has a viewing platform for tourists to take photos.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 #InternationalTravel #TaitungChangbin #SoloTravelAccommodation This time I traveled alone to Changbin, Taitung, and walked along the most beautiful east coast of Taiwan. Nagahama is a bit far from the station, so it is more convenient to drive or ride a bike. But this time I chose to take the train to Yuli Station I booked a B&B with a national travel subsidy for round-trip transportation, which is very convenient for solo girls. (It is recommended to call and book the B&B in advance to avoid full booking) The reason why I like to stay in a backpacker's hostel is that it is cheap. What I look forward to most is meeting different people from all over the world and communicating with them. This time I met a girl who was hiking around the island alone After chatting, I found out that she and I are both freelance workers. Because we are similar in age, profession, and ideas, we can talk a lot. Fate is really amazing. It’s obviously a journey of one person, but I heard about many people’s lives. In addition to the beautiful mountains and rivers, Taitung also has many friendly aboriginal friends. The boss and their friends are super hospitable We drank beer and chatted during the two nights we stayed there. We were in a great mood. Fengnai has two backpacker rooms, one for boys and one for girls. Each room has eight beds. There are also double and quadruple room options available. The toilet, shower room and room are all very clean and comfortable Washing machines, dryers, hair dryers and refrigerators are also available. There is a grocery store upstairs and you can walk to 711 in 10 minutes. There is a famous attraction "King Kong Avenue" nearby where you can go for a walk In general, Changbin is really suitable Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, urbanites who want to be at peace Sitting on the beach for an entire afternoon, staring at the waves, my heart seems to have calmed down 🏠Phoenix Milk Inn 📍Address: No. 20, Siwei Road, Changbin Township, Taitung County

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Luye Plateau is located above a narrow valley where the Central Mountain Range and the Coastal Mountain Range meet. It is an excellent place for hang gliding, paragliding and hot air ballooning, and is also an excellent natural activity airspace in eastern Taiwan. Above the plateau, you can see many colorful paragliders and hang gliders flying in the air, and the grass-crawling activity of crawler skiing from top to bottom on the sloped lawn makes you feel like you are about to take off at lightning speed. Every year from July to August, Taitung holds a hot air balloon carnival, with markets, light sculpture concerts, drone shows and other exciting activities. The most important one is of course the hot air balloon launch. Because the conditions for hot air balloons to take off are quite strict, they can only be inflated and launched when the airflow is relatively stable, and early morning and evening are the best times. When the hot air balloons are slowly inflated by fans, the next step is to ignite the gas to fill the interior of the sphere with hot air and make the hot air balloon stand upright. When the hot air balloons are filled with hot air, the red hot air balloons appear dazzling in the night sky, and the hot air balloons of various shapes compete with each other, making it very spectacular.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Stone Umbrella is located on County Road 11 in Chenggong County, Taitung County. The limestone promontory is nearly 1 kilometer long. There were originally several umbrella-shaped sea erosion rock pillars near the shore of the promontory, so it was called Stone Umbrella. Currently, only an isolated Stone Umbrella remains. The Stone Umbrella is a special sea erosion landform on the eastern coast. It is the result of long-term erosion by wind and rain over the years, forming a shape that is thin at the bottom and wide at the top, resembling an open umbrella. Shen Wencheng has a song called "Come and Go to Taitung" which has made the Stone Umbrella, a well-known scenic spot in Taitung, well-known to everyone. You can reach the sea erosion area by following the wooden plank trail next to the scenic pavilion. Standing on top and overlooking the magnificent Pacific Ocean and the green coastal mountains in the sky, listening to the sound of the waves carefully is a different feeling.

Sanxiantai is arguably the most famous tourist attraction in Taitung, drawing more visitors than other scenic spots or rest areas along Highway 11. The name "Sanxiantai" comes from the legend that three immortals—Lü Dongbin, He Xiangu, and Li Tieguai—once visited this island. In 2009, the eight-arch cross-sea bridge to Sanxiantai Island was completed. Before its construction, visitors could only reach the island by wading through the water during low tide. The bridge, with its wave-like design resembling a giant dragon lying across the sea, has become a prominent landmark on the East Coast. Sanxiantai is also a popular spot to welcome the first sunrise of the year 🔆, with live performances adding to the festive atmosphere. If you're looking for a unique way to celebrate New Year's and catch the first rays of sunlight, Sanxiantai is undoubtedly your top choice.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 I don't know how many times I have been to Luye, especially Luye Plateau. Although I have looked up information about Luye Shrine before, I have never been here, nor did I notice that it is so close to Luye Plateau. This year, I took advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to arrange a five-day counterclockwise trip around the island, and the first stop was Luno Shrine. In fact, the shrine is connected to the temple, but it is not known whether the two have any relationship. One is Taiwanese style and the other is Japanese style, standing side by side. There is also a "Torii" in front of the shrine. Going further ahead, there is a small wooden house in front of you. This is the shrine, but the door of the shrine is not open and I don't know if there are any statues or tablets enshrined inside. It is just a very simple place. Similar shrines can be seen in many places in Taiwan. They are simple and small with a "torii" and a small house. This is also the place where we can rest and take a break. We can take a walk here and take a breath to replenish more energy for the next journey. (20200210)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Dawu Coastal Park is located in Dawu Township, Taitung County. This roadside park on Provincial Highway 9 in Dawu Township, Taitung faces the mountain on one side and the sea on the other. The main purpose of this trip to Taitung is to appreciate the installation art of the South-Hui Art Festival along Provincial Highway 9, and Dawu Seaside Park is our first stop. There was a concert on the beach at night, and we couldn't come to listen to the concert, but in the morning there were already staff and a large number of tourists gathered here. The Pacific Ocean is directly in front of the park, and with the clear blue sky, a picturesque view appears before your eyes. Walking around, taking photos and looking at these art installations, this is the happiness I want. (20211002)

#AprilGoodPlaces2025 Huayuan Bay is located at 381k on Provincial Highway 9. The landmark here should be the ♥️-shaped installation art made of wood. It is also a place for tourists to check in and take photos when they come here to relax. In addition, there is a Southern Hui Art Festival installation art on the beach in front of the bay, titled "Harmonious Chaos" by Andres Amado, known as the "Beach Artist" from the United States. His design totem is a huge and mysterious geometric image completely presented on the sand. It is difficult to see the pattern of the work clearly if you stand on the platform. The work can only be seen if you look down from an aerial camera. The geometric images really make it difficult for us ordinary people to understand the artistic conception they want to express. Of course, there is a sign next to each installation art, which contains the author's name and the artistic conception that the artwork wants to express. Before appreciating a work, it is better to read the introduction first, so that it will be easier to understand the concept the author wants to convey. (2021102)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 If Duoliang Station is the most beautiful station in Taiwan, then Huayuan Observation Deck is the most beautiful reservoir in Taiwan. Its beauty lies in the emerald green pool matched with the blue sky and blue sea. Standing on the reservoir and gazing at the vast Pacific Ocean in the distance, you will feel relaxed and happy. It’s just that some tourists stand at the very front edge of the pool to take pictures, which makes people sweat for fear that a strong wind will blow them into the pool. The view from this reservoir is really beautiful so there are many tourists. Although there are two more reservoirs above, the angle, water volume and color are not as beautiful as the reservoir on the first floor, so there are not many tourists here. The key point is to be careful not to do dangerous actions just to take pictures so as not to end up in tragedy. (20211002)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The park is named after the Millennium Dawn Memorial Park, which welcomed the first light of dawn on January 1, 2000. It also hosts a New Year's Eve music festival every year. The Paiwan language of Taimali is "Tjavualji", which means the place where the sun rises. Taimali Township is also known as the Land of the Rising Sun. On the beach of the memorial park, there are two works from the Southern Return Art Festival. One is "Walking Consciousness" by Israeli artist Idan Zareski, and the other is "Tide of the South" by Taiwanese artist Lin Ziyao. -The theme of "Walking Consciousness" is who we are? Why do we live? And use this to call on mankind for peace, hope and unity. "Chao Nan" is designed with mosaic blue and white slippers and represents a kind of lifestyle clothing culture in Taiwan. The author also wants to invite viewers to take off their heavy shoes, free their feet and feel the charm of the South China Sea and the sea! Two very interesting art installations. (20211002)

#AprilGoodPlaces2025 It was almost evening when we arrived at Nantian Coast Waterfront Park, which was our last stop to enjoy the Nanhui Art Festival. When I first saw this park, I thought we were in the wrong place. We came to the park to see the art installations, not to camp. That’s right, Nantian Coast Water Park is also a camping area, but due to the epidemic, the camping area is currently not open, and the installation art we are going to visit is on the beach behind the park. This work "South to South" was created by the 404 N.F team. What the team wanted to express was to create a sensory experience composed of field, light and movement through cross-disciplinary cooperation. As it was getting dark and the light was insufficient, the photos we took were not as clear as those taken during the day. This was also the last work of the Southern Art Festival that we had been pursuing for the past two days. Art is a very abstract thing. Most viewers may only judge whether a work is good-looking or not based on its beauty or ugliness without knowing what the author wants to say or express in his heart. Therefore, there is a sign next to all the works on display this time to introduce the author and the mood he wants to express. Actually, this park is pretty good, it’s just that we arrived a little late. But it doesn’t matter, I still have the chance to come to this park again. I hope that the camping area in the park will be open next time I come here, and I will have the opportunity to bring the children to camp in this park again. （20211003

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 It is no exaggeration to say that this is Taitung’s back garden. The park is spacious and there are bicycles and electric motorcycles available for rent at the entrance. The park is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and is crowded with tourists, both individual and group tourists, and it is often packed with people, especially on holidays. Tourists riding bicycles can be seen everywhere in the park, while some tourists are walking and enjoying the scenery. There is a Lake Biwa here which is not very large but is a well-known photo spot in the park. Tourists will definitely go to the plank road in front of the pavilion to take pictures because the pictures taken from this angle are the most beautiful. Walking around the park and enjoying the phytoncides brought by the forest will make you feel refreshed.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Ho Feng Resort Hotel is located in the downtown area of ​​Taitung City. It is about one kilometer away from Taitung New Train Station. Ho Feng Resort Hotel opened in 2019 and focuses on parent-child travel routes. You can feel the customer-centric service from the moment you check in. After checking in, next to the service desk is the restaurant where a variety of drinks, desserts and ice cream are prepared for the guests. You can eat as much as you like. The facilities in the hotel include a restaurant, swimming pool, gym, go-karts, inflatable castle, ball pool, reading room, banquet hall, parking lot, etc. Although the hotel is not very big, it has everything it needs. The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable. On one side you can see the pool terrace and the streets of Taitung city, and on the other side you can enjoy the polar mountain landscape. There are no obstructions on both the front and back of the hotel, so the view is quite open. The most talked about thing about the hotel is the breakfast. I have stayed here many times and the quality of the breakfast has always maintained a certain standard, which is why I like this hotel. I especially recommend the radish cake, which is authentic and delicious. No wonder it was sold out as soon as it was served. The other dishes are also very delicious. Just one meal can fill you up until the evening. For a hotel of this level, there is really nothing to complain about. Apart from the excellent quality of the food and beverages, the prices are affordable and will not break the bank. The quality of the entire accommodation environment is also what travelers care about and feel most at ease with.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Ruoduoliang Station is known to have the most beautiful train station scenery in Taiwan, but in my opinion, Taimali Station is the station with the most beautiful scenery. Every summer when daylilies bloom, Taimali Station is always flooded with tourists who come to enjoy the flowers. A whole row of vehicles in front of the station are vehicles that come to pick up relatives, friends or tourists. The bustle of the station may be second only to Taitung Station in Taitung. No matter tourists have just got off the train or are preparing to leave by train, they always can't help but come to the station square or the road in front of the station to pick up their mobile phones or cameras and press the shutter of the scenery in front of the station (the Pacific Ocean). It’s just a pity. If the street lights in the middle of the road could be designed on both sides of the road, the picture would be more beautiful. About 300 meters to the right of the station, there is the most beautiful level crossing in Taiwan - the Sakuragi Flower Road Level Crossing. If you have enough time, you can go there to take photos. It is more than 90% similar to the scene in Slam Dunk where the two players fight each other.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 When you come to Taitung Zhiben Hot Springs for a vacation, how can you not stay at #台东智本老爷酒店! Located in the Zhiben Hot Spring District of Taitung, adjacent to the Zhiben Forest Recreation Area, it is surrounded by lush mountains and forests and has a rich and diverse natural ecology. The architecture combines aboriginal culture with modern minimalist style. It is the first international-class hot spring resort hotel in eastern Taiwan. Although the hotel is old, the park has been extensively renovated in recent years. The hardware facilities cannot be compared with those of new five-star hotels, but the overall accommodation experience is still good. There are also campfire performances by the Puyuma people in the evening, which is actually quite local. The basic guest rooms after renovation are 8-10 pings in size, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping mountain views. The stylish wooden design is matched with aboriginal totem elements, cleverly blending modernity with cultural taste, making them quite comfortable to live in. Hot springs are one of the main selling points of Zhiben Laoye. There are several open-air baths alone: ​​the Japanese-style star-moon bath located on the hillside, the indoor mosaic-style heart-shaped bath, and the sky-covered bath by the open-air swimming pool. Not only can you take a bath, but you can also play in the water. It is really the first choice for family accommodation. #zhibenhotspring #taitungtourism #taitungzhibenhotel

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 When you come to Taitung, you must visit the Seaside Park. The whole park is long and narrow. If you add the forest park, you might break your legs if you hike there 😅, so the bicycle rental business here is very good. There are many facilities in the park, including cultural theme trails, theaters, squares, spring landscapes, various public art and vast lawns where children can run and play freely without worry. Parks provide a space for people and tourists to relax. While enjoying these facilities, we should also cherish them and not damage them or create dirt. This way, we can have a tidy and clean space for activities. (20211002)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Green Island is so beautiful that you won’t even blink! I started to ride a motorcycle around the island early in the morning. Along the way, I saw the unbeatable sea view and emerald green hillsides. The wind blew and my mood was lifted. There are surprises at every corner, whether it is Sleeping Beauty Rock, Guanyin Cave or Sailing Nose Grassland. Stopping to take a photo and feel the sea breeze is like being in a healing road movie. The afternoon diving trip is the real climax! This time I chose the Shilang diving spot. I was very lucky. As soon as I got into the water, I encountered an elegant big sea turtle slowly gliding past me. Its eyes were very gentle, as if it was also looking at me, its new friend. I also saw a sturdy bullfish making a majestic appearance and several schools of colorful tropical fish flying in front of my eyes. It was like swimming in a dream! From the sea to the land, the charm of Green Island is so natural and full of surprises. The sea view is beautiful, the diving is great, and the air is super fragrant (it really smells like the sea). This is a place I will definitely visit again in my life! 💞Recommended reason: The weather is neither too hot nor too cold👍 #GreenIsland Taitung

Baomachi Cultural and Arts Center is located in Taitung City. Built in 1936, this Japanese-style wooden bungalow complex originally served as the official residence for the city's mayor. It consists of six wooden houses and has since been transformed into the Baomachi Cultural and Arts Center. Although the area of the complex is not very large, it features exhibitions of artistic creations inside the wooden houses. The center also occasionally hosts various cultural and artistic events. If you're looking for nearby attractions in the city without traveling too far, you can also visit places like the Taitung Art Museum or the Railway Art Village.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Every autumn and winter, a light art feast is held in Zhiben, Taitung. The location is on the large lawn in front of the Dongyouji Hot Spring Resort. This time of year always attracts many tourists to come and watch this light art creation. Due to its geographical location, Dongyouji Hot Spring Resort is also the first choice for tourists because it is only a few steps away from the exhibition area. Zhiben is a well-known hot spring town in Taitung, and the resort’s rooms also have hot springs for soaking, which is quite convenient. The resort has a quiet environment and covers a large area. Children can run and play on the lawn, and adults can soak in the hot spring pool to relieve travel and work fatigue. Dongyouji Hot Spring Resort is a good choice when traveling to Taitung.

On the mountainside of Taitung, There is a healing corner where people don’t want to leave once they step in - Guanhai Villa. With mountains behind and the sea in front, it not only has an excellent view, You can also feel the tranquility of the mountains and the vastness of the ocean at the same time. Facing the morning light during the day, watching the Pacific Ocean horizon slowly light up from afar, At night, you can enjoy the twinkling lights of Taitung city from the balcony of your room. It’s like being in a place where dreams and reality meet. The room is spacious and comfortable, and is equipped with a refrigerator. What's even better is that this is a pet-friendly bed and breakfast. You can bring your furry friends with you so that they can also enjoy the baptism of nature. Whether you are sitting on the small balcony enjoying the breeze, making a cup of tea and reading a book, Or just staring at the sea without doing anything, You can totally relax here. Guanhai Villa is not a temporary accommodation where you can only sleep for one night. Instead, it is a secluded paradise that is worth your special trip to experience slowly. Next time you come to Taitung, give yourself a day. Don’t plan anything, just stay here and let your heart slowly settle down.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Baosang Machiya #Taitung Attractions When I rode my motorcycle past Baosang Machiya, a tourist attraction in downtown Taitung, I was attracted by the beautiful Japanese-style buildings and flowers and trees. There were not many people there at around 10 o'clock in the morning, so I was able to take pictures of the scenery without any tourists. It was great! Even the bunny wine advertisement behind the building is cute~ They also sell egg cakes, but they were closed when we came... It is recommended to come here for a walk and take beautiful photos!

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Taiwanese people love to play with words and numbers. The 9420 Seaside Recreation Area on Taitung's Dawu No. 9 Line is a well-known number-themed attraction. 9420 means love you (you), such a romantic number, how can anyone not like it? Some people just pass by and stop to take pictures, while others come here specifically to take pictures with the deer. Whether they are couples, spouses, friends or singles, they all hope to live a happy life with the blessing of the deer. There are currently 13 happy deer across Taiwan, which are attractions pursued by many deer fans. In addition, there are some art installations in the rest area. If you are tired of driving, you can take a break here, look at the sea and the art, and then take a photo with the happy deer. PS: Our beloved deer was stolen at the end of November last year (2024). Later, the Highway Bureau took out the old deer for emergency use. If you like it, don’t keep it all to yourself. Let’s return our beloved deer to everyone soon.
