Glen • traveled in October, 2025
This was a compact tour, 5 full days with 4 nights in luxurious 5-star hotels. We visited an interesting mix of cultural and religious sites as well as scenic locations. Our guide, Alan Chou, was excellent, very knowledgeable, well organised and most informative. Our group (and bus) were larger than we would have preferred (34) but Alan handled this well. The train ride from Hualien to Yilan was an added bonus.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall brings comfortable temperatures and clear skies, perfect for our most comprehensive island tours. Many travelers choose multi-city itineraries that combine Taipei's cultural sites with Tainan's incredible food scene and Kaohsiung's modern art spaces. The Dragon and Tiger Pagodas look especially good against fall foliage, while the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum offers peaceful moments between city explorations. Our hiking tours through Taroko Gorge get particularly good reviews in autumn, though you'll want to check current conditions given recent changes. Fall is also prime time for tea experiences - you can visit multiple growing regions as the weather turns cooler and sample fresh harvests right at the source.
