Discover the captivating contrasts of Taiwan on this immersive journey that weaves together ancient traditions, natural wonders, and vibrant urban life. From the shimmering skyline of Taipei to the tranquil waters of Sun Moon Lake and the marble majesty of Taroko Gorge, this round-island tour offers an unforgettable taste of East Asia’s hidden gem.
Stay in hand-picked 5-star hotels, soak in therapeutic hot springs, and explore rich cultural landmarks including Fo Guang Shan Monastery and the sacred trails of Fugang Geopark. With expert guides, comfortable transport, and scenic routes along the east coast and through the lush heartland, this tour reveals the very soul of Taiwan — serene, spiritual, and endlessly fascinating.
Your unforgettable journey to Taiwan begins as you board your international flight to its vibrant capital, Taipei. A thrilling fusion of ancient traditions and modern marvels, Taipei is where historic temples stand alongside neon-lit towers and bustling night markets.
Upon arrival at Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), you’ll be greeted and transferred by private vehicle (non-guided) to your centrally located hotel. After check-in, the evening is yours to explore at your own pace — perhaps enjoy your first taste of Taiwan’s legendary street food or take a leisurely stroll through the city’s colourful alleyways.
Leave the capital behind as you journey into the serene heart of Taiwan. Today’s destination is the spectacular Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area, nestled in misty mountains and rich in spiritual heritage. Named for its sun-shaped eastern half and moon-shaped western half, the lake surrounds sacred Lalu Island, home to the indigenous Thao people.
Visit Ita Thao Village to witness indigenous traditions, ascend to Ci’en Pagoda for panoramic views, and explore the elegant Xuanzang Temple and majestic Wenwu Temple. Tonight, unwind in a luxurious 5-star hotel at either Sun Moon Lake or nearby Taichung.
Begin your day with breakfast beside the lake, then travel south to Tainan, Taiwan’s oldest city and former capital. Explore the Dutch-era Fort Zeelandia, stroll through historic Anping Old Street, and sample local delicacies such as shrimp rolls and tofu pudding.
Continue to coastal Kaohsiung. Here, visit the awe-inspiring Fo Guang Shan Monastery and meet a resident monk to gain deeper insight into Taiwan’s Buddhist traditions. Overnight at a stylish 5-star hotel in Kaohsiung.
Head south to explore Kenting National Park — a paradise of beaches, cliffs, and iconic sites such as Maopitou and Eluanpi Lighthouse. Then journey along the South Link Highway to Taitung, ending the day relaxing in the soothing waters of Zhiben Hot Springs.
Travel along the stunning East Coast National Scenic Area, visiting surreal landscapes like Xiaoyehliu and Sanxientai. Discover the dramatic Shitiping terraces and Fanshuliao Gorge before reaching Hualien for your overnight stay in a luxurious 5-star resort.
Today, explore the natural masterpiece of Taroko National Park. Walk the Tunnel of Nine Turns and Swallow Grotto Trail, cross the Buluowan Suspension Bridge, and admire the soaring Qingshui Cliff before returning to Taipei for your final night.
Enjoy free time in Taipei before your transfer to Taoyuan International Airport. Carry with you a treasure trove of unforgettable memories from your journey across the island.
We carefully select a diverse range of accommodations to enhance your travel experience, ensuring comfort, convenience, and cultural immersion. From sleek city hotels to tranquil lakeside retreats, each stay captures the spirit of Taiwan.
