East of Taipei is New Taipei City where other popular tourist destinations \u2014 Jiufen and Shifen \u2014 are located. These areas are usually day trips or side trips for those visiting Taipei. They might be sidelined destinations but do not underestimate their beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houtong Cat Village should be on your must-go list if you’re a cat lover. Situated just one stop after Ruifang station via Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) on the Yilan line, Houtong is a convenient stopover when you\u2019re visiting Shifen or Jiufen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the mining boom in the 1990s, Houtong City\u2019s population began to dwindle to the hundreds. In 2008, an animal lover, Peggy Chien, stayed back together with a group of volunteers to help take care of the remaining cats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, almost everything in the village is feline-themed. There are cat-themed cafes, souvenirs, and snacks. There are also scenic walks to see remnants of an old Japanese Shino shrine and Houtong Coal-Mine Ecological Park where you can discover what the village was like in its mining heydays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After days in the city, hiking in Alishan can calm your bustling city soul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Taichung, you can get to Chiayi via the HSR the night before. Get ready to wake up early to take a morning train from Chiayi to Alishan. At Chiayi Railway Station (not the same as Chiayi HSR station \u2014 there is a shuttle bus from Chiayi THSR to Chiayi TRA), get tickets for the Alishan Forest Railway. The train ride takes about two hours and offers great views of the mountains and countryside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you arrive at Fengqihu station, you can grab some lunch at the bento box restaurant before heading to the Forest Railway Museum. But you\u2019re not at Alishan yet. To get there, you need to take a shuttle bus part of Line A\/B (Bus 7329\/7322) located near the entrance to the Forest Railway Museum. You can buy a ticket when you board the bus. This bus will drop you off at the bus terminal of Alishan which is just outside the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Upon reaching your stop, purchase an entrance ticket to Alishan National Recreational Forest (NT $200 per person). From there, you can explore the multiple trails like the Giant Trees Trail, where you get to see towering, ancient red cypress trees, and view the Three Generations Tree. There are also other sights like Sister Ponds, Alishan National Scenic Area, and Cihyun Temple \u2014 a Japanese-built Buddhist temple with a lookout point to enjoy the sea of clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have lunch at one of the local restaurants in the area and remember to try some tea as Alishan is famous for its mountain tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the forest recreation area itself is another small railway network that operates in the park. It starts from Alishan Station at Alishan Tourist Village with returns. You can take one stop down to Shenmu Station to see remnants of the Sacred Tree. There are also other stops higher up like the Zhushan Station and Duigaoyue Station where you can have a better view of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not want to take the train, you can simply explore the area on foot which would take around four to five hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re done immersing yourself in the views, take the Alishan Forest Railway back to the Alishan Station and catch the train back to Chiayi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Chiayi, take the high-speed train to Tainan, the former capital and oldest city of Taiwan. The journey should be less than an hour, giving you ample time to explore. Visit the historic Anping Old Street, Confucius Temple, and Fort Zeelandia (later known as Anping Old Fort) \u2014 a Dutch fortress built in the 17th century. There are plenty of temples and historical buildings in Tainan so be sure to prioritise which you would like to visit. For dinner, sample some of Tainan’s famous dishes like Danzai Noodles and Coffin Bread (\u68fa\u6750\u677f). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When planning to check out Tainan\u2019s night markets, keep in mind that each market is only open on designated days of the week. A rule of thumb is \u201cDa, Da, Wu, Hua, Da, Wu, Hua\u201d (\u5927\u5927\u6b66\u82b1\u5927\u6b66\u82b1) where each letter represents the market open on the position of the day of the week from Monday to Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After days of city exploration, Kenting provides a tropical respite of sun, sand, and sea. There is no direct bus or train to Kenting from Tainan. Instead, you can take a HSR from Tainan to Kaohsiung\u2019s HSR Zuoying Station then a shuttle bus – Kenting Express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public transport is not exactly the most convenient in Kenting. Hence, hiring a driver or renting a car would be a good idea. Alternatively, you can also get around Kenting on scooters if you possess a motorcycle licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to use your trusty YouTrip card for the best exchange rates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 7-day Taiwan itinerary is by no means a complete coverage of the rich island of Taiwan. There are definitely more places to go, people to see and food to eat. But hopefully, this itinerary gives you a gist of what Taiwan has to offer from high-tech cities to rustic towns, folklore to arts & crafts and Michelin Star fine dining restaurants to street food beloved by generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
