How to see Taroko National Park?
Taroko National Park is the reason why I visited Hualien on my 1 Week Taiwan itinerary. It’s the most popular National Park in Taiwan and if you like nature and going on walks you’ll like this too. I took the public bus from Hualien into Taroko National Park and jumped on and off it between walks around the park. If you are a confident moped driver, a moped is a great way to explore the Coastline and the National Park. If you are a keen hiker there are some great hikes but some require permit...

I purchased this train ticket the day before ...

Leave Taiwan
I actually had a second full day in Kaohsiung and I flew from Kaohsiung Airport which is why I ended my Taiwan Backpacking Trip there but if you have a flight from Taipei you can get a fast train back to Taipei from Kaohsiung very easily. Book trains in Taiwan on 12GO Asia here! If you do fly from Taipei and you have an extra day, you could visit the popular City of Taichung on your way back North. I found it much cheaper and quicker to fly from Kaohsiung Airport to Japan, which is where I we...
