KTV Not kidding , I bet only 1...

by kiely

KTVNot kidding , I bet only 1 in every 50 of the visitors who come to Taiwan would ever been to KTV . For me , this is one of my favourite place to hang out with my friends . There are so much fun and so much to do . KTV is a little bit similar with Karaoke . The different thing is you don't have to sing in publicYou can sing in a room where only you and your friends are there . I love that .. as I don't think I can sing in front of someone I don't know :) . Well , you've got to try this , it's very typical Taiwanese fun stuff . I'm sure it's worth a try :)Popular shops:*Cashbox or Holidays

Keelung

by gudovich

30 minutes on the rial from Taipei and you are on Keelung, north east of Taipei.Bus 101 will take you to Heping Coast - a volcanic beach.Another bus will take you to Yehliu Park - volcanic beach-recomended!!!Another bus will take you to Nanya, on the 84KM of the road you drop off.The city it self has a big ***ing orgy of a night market.

Orchid Island (Lanyu)

by kenmerk

This is a place that should not be missed in Taiwan. A small volcanic island that is home to the Yami tribe of aboriginals. It has probably the best preserved of the aboriginal cultures in Taiwan, some of the most striking scenery and definately the best diving. Cant wait to get a chance to get back over this way again.... (Pls see separate Orchid Island page for more...)Located about 60 kilometers off the southeast coast of Taitung.

Wildlife of Taiwan

by DirtyRudy

Not too many people get to go out to the country and see the wildlife of Taiwan, which is actually quite diverse.If you ever get to go on a hike in the mountains, try to pay close attention to your surroundings. You'll be surprised to find hidden treasures like this little green guy!

3952m to the Summit of Jade Mountain

by DirtyRudy

Most people who come to Taiwan just hit the big cities, which is in most cases, Taipei. But few ever get to climb Jade Mountain, the tallest peak in Taiwan.I climbed Jade Mountain in 2002, and it was the first mountain I've ever climbed. It was a 2-day trip up to the 3952m summit, and by the time I got down the mountain I was so exhausted.But judging from the people who were in my travel group, it wasn't much of a problem for people, both young and old. In fact, this 70 year old man climbed it with more ease than I!Bring water and lots of energy drinks!To climb the mountain, you'll need a special permit which requires an application form, passport, and a nominal fee (there could be other forms, but I was able to get it with those two documents).Apply to:Taiwan Provincial Police Administration 7 Chunghsiao E. Rd., Sec. l, Taipei, Taiwan

overlooking china

by cielo85

my hometown is on a small offshore island of taiwan, and when it's not too cloudy, we can overlook china from the bay or beaches here, and at night we even can see the lights on mainland china.there used to be many small ships from china came close to our shore and sell lots of cheap stuff, food, chairs, tables though it's illegal in this pic the farther land is china and the nearer one belongs to taiwan

Mud bath!

by pipercherokee

Just outside of Taipei nestled in the mountains, one can experience one of the many hotsprings that Taiwan has to offer. The one I visited, and for the life of me I can't remember the name, was situated up in the mountains, outdoors, overlooking endless green valleys and more mountains. If only it weren't so polluted there! Various bath types are available and men and women are separated as nudity is apparently the only option. I found the mud bath to be quite unique!

Water Flowing Uphill...

by kenmerk

I know this sounds like a hoax, but with God as my witness, Taiwan does have a place where it is claimed that the water flows uphill...There are two possible explanations for this phenomenom: (1)Either there is a quark in the universe that causes the laws of Sir Issac Newton to be voided in this small corner of the world, or ...(2) There are so many toxic chemicals being dump into the ground water here, that the toxic brew is literally jumping out of the ground...Make the pilgrimage to this remote corner of Taiwan, and please judge for yourself...Located about an hour north of Taitung on the coastal route 11.

Sanshientai

by kenmerk

Sanshientai Sanshientai is a rock outcropping on the East Coast that is connected to the main island by a humped bridge. This area is now a large park, which attracts the rabid hordes packed in tour buses away from the big cities on the weekends...Directions: Easy to find. Just drive about 45 minutes north from Taitung on the coast road. (HWY 11) When you see the large rock outcroppings connected by a multi-humped red bridge you are there.

Chwen-Yang Hot Springs

by kenmerk

Actually we were headed elsewhere when we saw a small sign in Chinese for this place, and decided to give it a try. The locals we met said it was a 15 minute walk and easy to find.Trekking uphill, Joe and I somehow were diverted from the "path", and spend some 30 minutes bush-wacking our way thru a bamboo forest.It was hot, and the jungle was closing in as the trail grew cold. (Trail markers such as discarded chopsticks and Taiwan beer bottles had long since vanished..). Finally, Joe had had enough, and turned on my leadership. After a brief, bloodless coup, Joe emerged as the new lead man. (A fortunate turn of events, as it turned out) With Joe now at the helm, we eventually found the right way, and locate the Sacred Hot Springs. (He earned his Billy-Goat Badge on this day)We returned to base camp as the conquering heroes with the coveted photos of the "hidden springs", though somewhat...
