Enjoin your trip at Kenting, Taiwan

by LindaChuang

If you are planning to travel Taiwan, Kengting (¤’š) is one of advisable places you should not miss. KentingThe Spring Break & Summer Vacation destination in Taiwan. I'm studying in Kaohsiung (taiwan) now, it's convinient for me to travel Kenting, and I've been there 2 times. You can enjoin beautiful and clean beaches, blue sky and windy days in Kending. There is always windy that will make you feel much comfortable even in very sunshine day ;)Moreover, there are many kind of foods. Most of them are very cheap and tasty ^_^ Let choose some kinda them at seafood market and having your meals nearby quiet night beaches or in front of 7-11 stores.However, a tip for you is that you should rent a car or motorbike for convenience as distance from spot to spot at Kenting. In addition, you should go small beaches to swim, you might go through paths. Do not swim at beaches near hotels or centre...

Length of stay in Taiwan

by DSwede

Typhoons are possible during all months of the year. However statistically, they happen more frequent in the months of August, September and October. Now the other odds come into play about how often those storms make a particular landfall such as Taiwan and chances are not high being a one time visitor you will have any problem.Taiwan in my opinion has two seasons. Hot and humid. Hot, rainy and humid.Again in my humble opinion, one week is the absolute minimum to visit Taiwan and see anything outside of Taipei. I spent 2.5 days in Taipei, 2 days in/near Kaohsiung and Cijin, then I completed my circumnavigation by spending a day in Hualien.That was a very quick itinerary focusing on only three places and allowed for relatively no relaxing. If you want to see more than that, you must take additional time.I speak no Chinese either and had no difficulties. Feel free to visit my pages for a...

Great Food

by Kyle-Taiwan

The food is great here. LOTS of FRESH local vegetables and tropical fruit. Bananas, guava, mangos, papayas, Lychee, Cherimoya, plums etc....YUMMY! Central mountains where industrialization has not completely destroyed.

Alishan and Hualien

by altabaie

Hi,Alishan is a small mountain top village where people go for hiking from one village to another. It is a beautiful place to visit, particularly if one takes the Alishan train from Chaie to Alishan (72 Km) which takes 4 hours. Keep in mind that, a portion of the rail was damaged by hurricanes back in 2004 (one train would take passengers to the damaged area, then passengers would hike a short distance to the other side of landslide and hop on yet another train that would take the passengers to Alishan). Therefore, there was only one scheduled train going up a one that came down per day. I am not sure if the train tracks/landslide has been repaired.Hualien is a nice coastal city with few ocean front parks and of course Toroko gorge not far from city center. I really liked Toroko gorge, unfortunately, I was there for only one full day and could not see all that there was … I only visited...
