• Favorable months for relaxation will be December - February, when it is warm during the day, it is comfortable to swim in the sea, and it rains mainly at night and reduces the air temperature.

There are more than enough attractions on the island, but 7 main ones are highlighted in a separate list and are included in organized excursions. You can explore them on your own, but it is much more interesting to be in these places with an experienced guide who will tell the history of the attraction and the legends associated with it.

Watch the video about traveling to Taiwan:

Its height is more than 500 meters, construction was completed in 6 years, the result was the recognition of the skyscraper as an example of unique engineering. It has 101 floors and, being in an earthquake zone (Taiwan is completely included in it), is considered completely safe.

Engineers on the 92nd floor of the skyscraper installed a huge metal ball weighing 800 tons, which, when swinging, can dampen the inertia of the building. Thanks to this, even during a strong earthquake, the structure remains completely motionless.

Entrance to the skyscraper is free, but to take the high-speed elevator to the 89th floor you need to pay about 950 rubles - that’s how much a ticket costs. For this amount you can not only ride up/down, but also visit observation platforms, which offer stunning views of the surrounding area.

To the east of Taipei there is a small locality Wanli is where the Ye-Liu Geopark is located. Over hundreds of years, nature has created a “museum” on the rocks under open air– sculptures “honeycombs”, “mushrooms”, “candles”, “queen’s head” amaze everyone. There is also an observation deck in the park, which offers views of the East China Sea.

You can walk around the geopark on your own, but you must follow safety rules. The cape protrudes too far into the sea (almost 2 km) and in case of wind or storm there is a high risk of people being carried away into the abyss.

For tourists, there are fences in the form of a red line and ropes - crossing it is very dangerous: there are cases when guests disappeared in the waves even with a relatively weak storm warning.

It is located in Taipei, famous for its collection of ancient exhibits - there are more than 720 thousand of them! Paintings, porcelain sets, household items, weapons - they “tell” the history of the province of China and the life of the ruling dynasties. There are parks and squares around the museum; here you can take a great break from the city noise and explore the beautiful statues.

Worth it before visiting the National palace museum You can get acquainted with the exhibits on display - this can be done on the official website. The fact is that in the museum some exhibition items are signed only in the local language and it is impossible to immediately understand whether they are worth examining.

Located 20 km from the capital of Taiwan, it covers an area of ​​11 hectares. Everything has been done here to attract tourists - hot springs with baths, a small hotel for a break from walking, cafes and restaurants serving national cuisine. A very interesting “attraction” - everyone is given rubber boots in which he can walk through the “water meadow” and collect a bouquet of calla lilies - they will immediately pack it and allow you to take it with you.

The highest point of the park is at 1120 m above sea level; it is impossible to walk along absolutely all the paths even in a whole day - the area is too large. Therefore, it is worth choosing one direction and moving clearly in that direction. In any case, there is a place for lunch and relaxation.

The name translates as “crystal clear,” but the Taiwanese call the lake the valley of lotuses—hundreds of these large flowers bloom on the surface. There is a large park around the lake, in which several temples are located. One of them was built more than a century ago and is dedicated to the god of medicine, Pasheng Tati. The park is spread over several small islands, which are connected by interesting zigzag bridges.

In Chengqing you can not only admire the beauty of nature, but also play golf, go fishing, and go horseback riding. There are also boat rentals - every tourist can make a mini-trip, and the rental cost does not depend on the hours of use of the “equipment”.

At one time, it was built in honor of the god of war Guan Gong and the thinker Confucius - this is such a strange combination of personalities that the locals worship. On the ground floor of the complex, the halls are dedicated to the god of war - here you can see not only exhibits, but also unique carvings on the walls.

The second floor is entirely dedicated to the philosopher Confucius, but there is nothing particularly interesting for tourists here. But the third floor of the complex is especially popular - it is a copy of the chambers of the Jade Emperor. There are frescoes on the walls, original ceiling paintings, images of dragons and a separate memorial. Everything is decorated with precious stones.

The most frequently visited attraction, which is a monumental structure guarded at the entrance by stone lions. Inside there is a Buddha hall, where images of all three Phoenixes are shown in different poses - sitting on huge lotuses, elephants, lions.

Entrance to the temple is free, but it is important to remember that in such establishments in Taiwan it is prohibited to take photographs, talk loudly and make noise.

In addition, in Taiwan there are memorial halls, temples, and zoos. You can go to the waterfalls - they can hardly be called attractions, but enjoying the beauty of nature and having a photo shoot will also be interesting.

Where is the cheapest beach holiday?

Beach holidays in Taiwan can be organized in two main ways: resort areas– Hengchun and Fulong. There are clean sandy beaches, not far from which there are coral colonies. This combination natural beauty The almost year-round beach season attracts divers from all over the world. There are schools for beginners on the coast - you can rent equipment and try yourself in this exotic entertainment.

Enjoy the sea and snow-white sandy beaches it is also possible on the Pescadores Islands, which are located between the island and mainland China. There are hotels and restaurants, various entertainment options, but the cost of a vacation will be slightly higher than in the two above-mentioned resort areas.

By the way, tourists can stay in city hotels and go to the beaches for a temporary holiday. And it’s very convenient and comfortable - you can visit the sights, do shopping in large cities, and have plenty of shopping even in the middle of the calendar winter.

Taiwan is very interesting place for relax. Here you can successfully combine swimming in the sea, visiting historical attractions, and visiting entertainment centers, and shopping. The cost of the trip, coupled with expenses on the spot, is quite acceptable, but the impressions will be only positive. Moreover, from everything - from service in hotels and restaurants to natural beauty.
