In-depth Travel on Taiwan, explore Taitung❤️
Get bored of just travel to Taiwan ,Taipei? Do you know that you could discover more in Taiwan? Especially this township that I personally love it soooo much, Taitung! The beauty of Taiwan’s eastern coast with its deep blue coastline, enjoy the breeze of the sea just within the town!
Taitung is a place to explore during summer , they have various event such as hot air ballon festival with fascinating fireworks show every year. The event usually takes place from July till August, and guess what? It’s all free entrance! Don’t missed the opportunity to check this out, plan it earlier! 😝#awesomepic #Taiwan #hotairballon #Taitung
An oasis of tranquility on Green Island
Green island is a small volcanic island off the South East coast of Taiwan, it’s famous for it’s scuba diving and it’s long history as a penal colony during Taiwan’s troubled political history. You can get to the island via plane or ferry from Taitung, the ferry is every hour and has a huge capacity so it is the easiest option, the flights are on small planes and very limited times.
The ferry crossing takes about an hour and there is a dedicated terminal in Taitung to get tickets, however you can only buy tickets online or within an hour of departure. So if you get to the terminal a while before a boat you have to wait to be able to buy tickets, also the queing system on the dock is quite chaotic so double check you are in the right line for the right boat - a few companies run the same route at similar times.
On the island trasnprot links are pretty much non existent so everyone hires scooter, they accept most forms of international driving licenses and fuel is very cheap! Be careful on the roads especially in the dark, there are a lot of potholes and cracks so make sure you have a helmet and insurance!
Most people head to the island for scuba diving and most of the hotels or B&B’s have on site scuba instructors, you can pay by the hour for lessons or you can hire equipment on the island if you have your diving licence.
As for food and drink, there is a 7/11 and a family mart in the main strip by the port, after that is is coffee shops and restaurants scattered around the island. Top tip is to research the opening times on the day, lots of places open for breakfast and again for dinner - many are closed between 11-4 so it’s hard to find lunch sometimes!
There is a fascinating human rights museum in the old prison used to hold political prisoners between the 1960’s and 1990’s it is free to get into and has some really interesting exhibitions about the legacy of the prison.
Overall a really interesting and beautiful island, I will definitely be going back!

Best Homestay in Taitung!
#taiwantrip #taitung #holidaymode #homestay
Angel Pension is a ‘Minsu’ which is known as homestay in Taiwan that is located right smack in Taitung City!
It is conveniently located near to some of the famous food in Taitung, as well as within walking distance to the Tiehua Music Village which is one of the famous spot in Taitung.
The homestay host was extremely friendly and was responsive to all of our enquiries!
The room itself was very clean, comfortable bed, adjustable lights and even with a Japanese style toilet bowl!
Angel Pension provides daily renewal of towels and disposal of rubbish upon request of which some homestay do not have! This is a plus point!
Very low profile town with beautiful view
There are many hidden lovely tiny towns in east coast of Taiwan. I made a walk from Shitiping to Shimen, where both cities located in Fengbin township of Taitung county. I was listening to the sound of waves, feel the warmth from the Mother Nature and enjoy the walk from the time I see blue sky till the sunset along the shoreline. That was fantastic to see the changing of contrast in the sky. #taitung #sunset #mothernature #aboriginals
What a chilly village!!!
Dulan village, Taitung, located at east coast of Taiwan. The village is quite hard to reach, but once you reach to the village, you would never disappointed. I took bus from Hualien to Jingpu, then changed to another bus to Taitung. Total journey was about 5 hours. The village js closed by the beach and very accessible to all restaurants. The prices here are slightly expensive due to its remote location, but it is definitely worth to go!! #dulan #taitung #chill #thenation
Sanxiantai - Famous Tourist Spot in Taitung
One of my dream destination is Taitung. I heard a lot of beautiful comments and suggested place to visit in Taitung and one of their suggestion is visiting the famous bridge named as Tian Long Bridge or also known as the Dragon Bridge because of it’s shape and design.
It’s a good place to watch the sunrise in this area. Fresh air and the waves of the beach makes you feel relax and calm.
At the End of the Bridge, you will see a rock formation. It’s nice to take pictures in this area. This place is surrounded by beach and mountains.
it’s really perfect for nature lovers like me. During morning and in the afternoon, walking around here makes you feel energized.
I really suggested that you must visit this beautiful place when visiting Taitung. You will not regret it.

Tried lots of different types of food from road stalls and night markets to restaurants. I personally prefer food from the road stall and night market rather than those restaurants' food.#taitung
