Spending summary, my favorite pictures, and how it is to backpack around the country.

Old huge trees, large crowds, beautiful ponds, and historic train rides.

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

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.

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.
