How about a trip to Taiwan North
A Brief Summary
Whenever you see “Made in Taiwan”, this is almost certainly where those products will have been made. The heart of Taiwan’s booming economy and ever-growing tech industry is located in and around the northern cities of Taiwan, including its high-tech capital Taipei. Taipei is a curious, but highly intriguing cultural melting pot of Chinese and Japanese with increasing western influences. While it is a busy capital city, it is almost horizontal in comparison to Tokyo, Jakarta or Hong Kong. It’s nightlife is more about restaurants and classy bars, rather than heaving clubs or raucous venues. Food here is a big deal and the street food really needs to be tried!
This is the less geographically awe-inspiring region of Taiwan, but Taipei is nonetheless nestled in a valley between 2 mountain ranges and a very common starting point for excursions and tours to elsewhere in the country. Highlights include incredible cycling and hiking among the dense jungles and forests, and undulating peaks of the east coast in particular.
