9 Days 9 Spots Road Trip
Taipei, Yehliu, Jiufen, Qingshui Cliff, Hualien City, Taroko National Park, Qingjing Farm, Sun Moon Lake and Taichung City
It was a crazy hot summer in Taiwan for our 7 days trip for the north half of this island. Temperature was around 30-35 in the day time with crazy sunlight. We were in Taipei for 2 days, traveled around popular places like Chieng Kai Chek Memorial hall, Taipei 101 and went up to Xiangshan Trail (we were even been cheated by Taxi driver).
I highly recommend to go a bit further from Taipei to Guandu Temple. It's around 45 minutes from Taipei but really worth the beauty of the temple.
After we left Taipei, we took a road trip and first stop was Yuhliu geopark before going to Jiufen. Suggestion is better to find other places to go because there were too many tourists and you will not get any pictures anyway. Jiufen was also crazy at the time we went, we stucked in the street by human traffic and delivery truck.
From Jiufen, we headed to Taroko National Park. On the way, we stopped by the most stunning view of all in Taiwan till now. Qingshui Cliff, the bright blue color and the landscape was perfect. I hope I can put more drone video than this. The next day we started the Taroko trip in a hurry because rain was catching up. Driving was not too hard since it was not a holiday but not too easy also. Along the way, another stunning landscape slightly showed up bit by bit with the small flowers along the road.
We arrived at the highland area at 3,158m above sea level at Hehuashan Peak. From here to Qingjing farm, it was another impressive landscape of Taiwan that no one should miss. I made a mistake, planed to save some drone battery for later stops but the rain was catching us up too fast.
Qingjing... It was raining for the whole 2 days.... so nothing much. Like nothing much... Qingjing farm is well known for highland with cute sheep and mountain view, we saw non of those, except fog, part of mountain and rain from our room.
Then we left Qingjing and took a quick break at Sun Moon Lake, one of the most popular tourist spot in Taiwan. We did not expect much due to the rain and what we heard about the place but it is still beautiful place anyway. As when the rain stopped, the beauty of nature obviously shined.
