Taipei
Our 1st and 2nd days were spent in Taipei. We explored some parts of the city that were easily accessible from our location. Come and take a look at our Taiwan pictures of Taipei!
View of Taipei upon our arrival from Manila, Philippines. This is such a great view especially after the long wait in NAIA.
Part of the arrival hall at the Taoyuan International Airport before we lined up at the Immigration.
Our first view of Taiwan onboard the Taoyuan Airport MRT going to Taipei. It was a bit gloomy on our arrival, but of course, it did not lessen the excitement of finally being able to explore this side of Asia.
Another view of the train. Look at the fog coming from the mountain!
Skyscrapers along the way. Taiwan is not a metropolis like Hong Kong nor it is as modern as Singapore, but it has a certain charm that we love!
We are about to enter Taipei and this is another view that we have enjoyed!
View after alighting the train at the Taipei Main Station. We were already hungry at this time and we’re looking for a place to grab a bite.
Hello Taipei! One of the views that greeted us after emerging from the MRT Station. We were starting to look for the Pillow Hostel where we were going to stay for the entire trip!
Locals going about their daily routine. This is us going to the hostel.
Cute displays at the entrance of the MRT station. We got lost a little bit but since we were relieved of our bags and were full, it was no problem at all!

This is inside the Taipei 101 tower. There is a commercial space inside where you can buy luxury items.
One of the first views we saw after alighting at the Taipei 101 elevator.
This is one of my favorite views as it shows that despite the skyscrapers and development, Taipei still has preserved its mountains.

This is in the complex of the Longshan Temple, just right beside the entrance gate.

Northern Coast
On our 3rd day, we visited the Northern Coast. Here is a sneak peek of our Taiwan pictures in its northern coast area.
This is a replica of the ‘Queen’s Head’, one of the most astonishing rock formations in the park
Here’s a view of the amazing landscape at the Yehliu Geopark. This is from the Viewing Deck. It was a hot day when we visited.
This is the pathway where tourists can get close to the rock formations and to take photos. There are guards monitoring the area. So if you get too close, be sure that you’ll be reprimanded.
This is the pathway towards the other rock formations. It was a not-so-windy but definitely hot kind of day.
Some sights at the Jiufen Old Street. There are lots of shopping opportunities here and lots of food stalls!
Here’s a view from the very edge of the Jiufen Old Street. Gorgeous, isn’t it?

A view of the Shifen Waterfall from one of its viewing deck. We spent an hour here, eating delicious fishballs!
This is the bridge that serves as a pathway towards the Shifen Waterfall. There were a lot of people when we visited and the structure was swaying as we were passing through.
These are some of the lanterns that were released by tourists visiting this side of Shifen. It’s a small town with lots of stores and stalls that you can enjoy a walk-in.
Taichung
On the day of our flight, we took a quick day trip to Taichung and enjoyed its picturesque attractions. Here’s a gallery of our Taiwan pictures in Taichung!
Here’s one of the views that we saw on our way to Taichung. We got stuck for 2-3 hours in the traffic. So this was an exciting time because we knew we were near our destination.
Fields of flowers at the Houli Flower Farm – a dream for Instagram lovers!
This is the farm’s field of lavenders! People were lining up on this grand piano (not on photo) to take a picture of themselves. I can’t blame them because it looks dramatic! I didn’t bother though as posing for photos like that are never really my thing.
The fort a Summit Resort where we took an hour exploring! You’ll definitely go back in time!
