Taiwan Couples Trip

Six nights from Taipei's skyline to Sun Moon Lake, with a gondola through tea country and a sky lantern in between.

6 Nights / 7 DaysDuration

Taiwan is an easy first trip to East Asia for a couple. The cities are clean and simple to move around, the food is excellent at every price, and a short train ride separates the skyscrapers of Taipei from mountain lakes and flower farms.

This is one of the Taiwan itineraries we've planned for a couple before, six nights, seven days across Taipei and Taichung, built for two adults travelling together. It's shared here to show what a couples' trip through Taiwan could look like. A version built around your own dates and pace would look a little different, and that's the point.

Why This Trip

Why Travel to Taiwan as a Couple

Why Travel to Taiwan as a Couple

Late February to March brings cherry blossom season to the highlands. It is cool enough for a day at Wuling Farm in comfort, and the mist over the Maokong tea plantations makes the gondola ride one of the best views in Taipei.

The trip is built around quiet moments. A sky lantern at Shifen, a dinner in the hills of Yangmingshan, and the Sky Mirror at Sun Moon Lake at sunset are the parts a couple will remember, and the city days are kept light so there is time for all of them. If you asked us: upgrade one gondola ride to the Eye of Maokong crystal cabin, and go after dark. The glass floor is a small thrill by day, but the lit-up city below is what makes it worth the queue.
