Not Your Typical Travel Guide to Taiwan

Where to go in Taiwan? In this offbeat Taiwan travel guide, I explore Taiwan places to visit, cherry blossom in Taiwan, cycling Taroko gorge, vegan Taiwan, vegetarian food in Taiwan and offbeat things to do in Taiwan. My Taiwan travel tips include lesser known points of interest in Taiwan as well as where to go in Taiwan if you want to get off the tourist trail.

The mist rolled in as we drove on the winding road, engulfing the tea plantations, the cherry blossoms, the road, the mountains and even the darkness, casting a magical kind of aura that my Taiwanese host – a tea farmer – maneuvered expertly despite zero visibility. But we weren’t driving to the bamboo groves in the middle of the night for the mist. On that dark, foggy night, we were looking for fireflies that come to Fengchihu in spring, and light up the forests like blinking Christmas lights.

To tell you the truth, I knew nothing about Taiwan except stinky tofu – a dish I once had a smelly encounter with in Singapore – that has acquired something of a national status. I decided to join a friend to travel there simply because I found a cheap flight and could get visa on arrival with my US visa. Even as we landed in Taipei, a city with industrial buildings, dense forests and a charming cafe culture, I had no idea that we were going to cycle down a dramatic gorge, share a meal with an aboriginal family (short of monkey brains!) and get lucky enough to see the season’s first cherry blossoms.
