Fenqihu Station, Alishan Forest Railway

Riding The Alishan Forest Railway to Fenqihu

A ride on a historic Alishan Forest Railway to the beautiful quiet town of Fenqihu, where we found lush green forests all to ourselves.

Kenting National Park, Taiwan

Our first impression of Kenting Village was very different than what we expected. It was crowded and crazy, but Kenting’s beauty lies in its surrounding nature.

Yuli Township And Walami Trail, Taiwan

After a 1-hour train ride from Hualien, we arrived at Yuli Train Station. While Hualien is much smaller than Taipei, Yuli really has the feeling of a small country town. Our airbnb host picked us up at the train station, who drove us to our place.

Hualien and Taroko National Park in Taiwan

After arriving in Taipei and spending a few days there to acclimatize to a new country, we were ready to get out of the big city and get into nature. Since I had spent two lazy months in Taipei just a few months ago, I made it a mission this time around to explore the rest of Tawian, especially its national parks.
