Culture
Jiufen's old streets, the Rainbow Village's street art and Miyahara's heritage building.
Five nights for five friends, with a night market, a day on the Northeast Coast and a boat out to a volcanic island.
Taiwan is a good choice for friends who like to eat. Every district has a night market, the transport makes a day trip easy, and the group can split up for the afternoon and meet again for dinner without any planning.
This is one of the Taiwan itineraries we've planned for a group of friends before, five nights, six days across Taipei, Yilan and Taichung, built for five adults travelling together. It's shared here to show what a friends' trip through Taiwan could look like. A version built around your own group's size, pace and dates would look a little different, and that's the point.
Why This Trip
The trip has a different feel each day. One day is the Northeast Coast, with Yehliu, Jiufen, Shifen and the Golden Waterfall, another is a boat to Guishan Island for dolphins and flying fish, and a third is a Taichung day that ends in the Fengjia Night Market, the largest in Taiwan.
Taichung has a few things that suit a group. The Chun Shui Tang teahouse is where bubble tea began, Miyahara looks a little like a set from Harry Potter, and the Chung-she flower market is a short stop on the way to the Gaomei Wetlands at sunset.
If you asked us: do whale-watching and Guishan Island morning first thing, when the sea is calmest. Sea conditions can change the plan, so leave the day after it with nothing fixed.
