It is a cape of about 1,700 meters long formed by Datun Mountain reaching into the sea. When overlooked from above, the place is like a giant turtle submerging into the sea. The park offers an enriching day excursion from Taipei with its special natural scenery.

    Taipei 101

    Taipei 101 was finished in 2004 at a height of 1,667 feet (508 meters), it used to be the highest building in the world; however, in 2010 Dubai's Burj Khalifa surpassed it.

    Taroko National Park

    Taiwan was created by plate tectonics four million years ago. The Liwu River exposed and sculpted the marble rocks, forming striking grand canyons following millions of years of wind erosion. The Qingshui Cliff, the views of the Tunnel of Nine Turns, and the striking hanging bridges of Swallow Grotto are some of this varied landscape's highlights. Next is the Eternal Springs Shrine, which is situated next to the springs that have the same name on a verdant slope.

    Sun Moon Lake

    Sun Moon Lake is surrounded by bike and hiking trails, and you can also enjoy boat trips that offer views of the numerous temples, pagodas, and native communities that are located along its banks. Attend a show at Culture Square or the Naruwan Theater to get a flavor of the historic indigenous culture of the area. The lake is often visited by multi-day tours of Taiwan, along with Taroko Gorge, Kaohsiung, and Puli.

    Jiufen Village

    Jiufen, a town nestled on a mountainside in northeastern Taiwan, was formerly the epicenter of the nation's gold mining industry. It is currently a well-liked tourist destination with charming lanes and alleyways, traditional teahouses, a plethora of food vendors, souvenir shops, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains.

    In Taiwan, basil, garlic, and green onion are added to almost every dish and is known for its “salty-sweet” signature. The Hakka people have left an impact on Taiwanese food as well. Many of the flavors associated with Taiwan originate from the food, such as pan-fried mi fen rice noodles, thick soups with a strong basil flavor, and lei cha tea flavored with peanuts, mint leaves, sesame seeds, and mung beans. Japanese colonization lasted for fifty years, beginning in the late 1800s, bringing with it vibrant, umami-flavored pickled vegetables, sweet steamed mochi coated in sesame, and seafood dishes that prioritized seasonal ingredients. Sushi bars and bento boxes are still available on almost every corner of Taipei.
