Taiwan: one island, countless worlds

A morning above a sea of clouds, an afternoon among tea plantations and a few days later with your feet in a warm, tropical sea. Taiwan brings together a surprising number of worlds on a single island. Avila Reizen has added Taiwan to its portfolio. These are the highlights that the travel specialist says you should not miss.

According to Avila Reizen, Taiwan's strength lies in its variety. High mountains, national parks, cities and tropical coastline sit relatively close together, allowing you to experience many different sides of the island in a single trip. The journey is tailored to your pace, route and accommodation, without the itinerary becoming unnecessarily packed.

Yangmingshan

Directly above Taipei lies a world of volcanic hills, steaming fumaroles and flowering slopes. Yangmingshan shows how quickly you can switch from city to nature on Taiwan.

Sun Moon Lake

Taiwan's largest lake sits between forested mountains and is regularly shrouded in morning mist. Avila Reizen recommends a cycling tour along the water, a visit to a centuries-old temple and a cup of local tea with a view.

Alishan

For Alishan, set your alarm early. The high mountains are famous for sunrise above a sea of clouds. You will also find centuries-old cypress forests and tea plantations where some of the world's finest tea grows.

Kenting

In the south, the scenery changes again. Here mountains give way to palms, white sand and warm, azure blue sea. According to Avila Reizen, Kenting is a pleasant place to wind down a round trip.
