Discover Taiwan: Your Perfect First Step Into Asia

Ever wondered what a road trip through Taiwan feels like? 🇹🇼 Safe, compact, clean and incredibly welcoming — it’s one of the best first steps into Asia.

If you are discovering Taiwan for the first time, an ideal itinerary is to hop on the Taiwanese bullet trains from Taipei (the capital) down to Tainan (the former capital) and Kaohsiung (the vibrant southern port city). The west side of the island is all about colourful temples, heritage lanes, harbour sunsets and night markets filled with the aroma of Taiwanese street food.

If you have already explored the western side, the eastern and central regions offer a completely different experience — think misty forests in Alishan, dramatic coastal cliffs, waterfalls, and peaceful countryside towns.

And the food… bubble tea, beef noodles, gua bao, oyster omelettes, mango shaved ice — every city has its own flavour. A lovely hidden gem is the scenic Simple Kaffa coffee spot inside Taipei 101 tower, offering beautiful views across the city.

✨ Did you know? Taiwan blends Chinese traditions, Indigenous heritage and Japanese influences from the 1895–1945 era — still visible today in its railways, wooden houses and cosy cafés.
