Specialty Shops in Taitung City, Taitung
If you continue up to Bo’ai Road, Taitung Story Museum is a gorgeous cafe/ bookshop perfect for a quick coffee and cake fix. Behind the cafe, you’ll also find some cool photo spots if you’re into the ‘Gram. If you have a week or two in Taiwan, I highly recommend taking a round-the-island trip. Many travelers start a round-the-island trip from Taipei to Kenting in the East of Taiwan, then back north on the west to fly out from Taoyuan.
While Taitung City serves as the main gateway to beautiful Taitung County, you should know that the city itself is quite boring. There are several unique places within the city’s borders, but most of Taitung’s best attractions are along Route 9 and 11. With that 台東美食伴手禮 said, I’ve included a whole host of things to do in Taitung and its surrounding areas! That way, you can pick and choose and ultimately plan your own perfect Taitung itinerary. (rice, again, surprised?) Don’t let your guard down with this sweet, milky drink.
You will need to spend at least a night on the island. There you can camp by the beach at Jimmy Explorer Campsite and arrange for a diving trip. Each tent has comfy a bed and some even have AC. SourceLocated in Changbin Township, Basian cave, originally, was a huge sea cave, with time and because of crustal uplift, it turned into several smaller caves, raised above sea level. The cave is called the Goddess cave by the Amis people, who believed the caves were uplifted because of the killing of a beautiful lady.
Taiwan’s east coast seems to be full of strange rock formations, Taitung is no exception. In Xiao Yeliu, the ocean produced a beautiful scenery with a landscape full of rock formations carved by the waves. There are around 5 areas where you can see different types of rocks.
If you go to Taitung, you must experience the aboriginal customs! The Bunun Tribe Park in Yanping Township, Taitung County is the best choice for learning about aboriginal culture. The Bunun are an important aboriginal tribe in the Huatung Valley. They have the most traditional rituals and have preserved a variety of traditional instruments. They are especially known for their "Eight Part Chord".
From the Lisong car park, it’s a steep one-hour downhill hike where you’ll be using ropes and chains to descend. Get an early start and head north to Lisong Hot Springs, about 1.5-2 hours by car. The drive is very beautiful and leads through tunnels, canyons, and small villages.
At night, mini air balloons light up the park, making the evening stroll romantic. Dynamic culture, beautiful landscapes, ecology, and agriculture all come together perfectly in Donghe. The aboriginal village of Wulai south of Taipei in New Taipei City is one of the most popular day trips from Taipei, and for good reason. Wulai features riverside hot springs, hiking, river tracing, and northern Taiwan’s tallest waterfall. A second option for getting from Taitung to Kenting is the slow route that mostly sticks to the east coast. It is a standard breakfast in Taiwanese hotels, but also served from street food stalls for breakfast or lunch.
Domestic visitors and those from nearby countries stay for three to four nights on average. I love hot air balloon festivals so I’d definitely love to check that out. The easiest is to stay in Taitung City and take day trips to explore the county, but there are also a couple of nice accommodation options in the countryside. You should also check out the Taitung Night Market on on Zhengqi Road. During the day, it’s a fruit market, then it turns into a night market serving mostly snacks on the evenings, from Thursday to Saturday. During summer, boats leave frequently so you can plan a day trip from Taitung.
