Discover Taiwan: Taipei & Taroko Gorge Private Tour
Discover Taiwan on this private journey that combines the cultural richness of Taipei with the breathtaking natural beauty of Taroko Gorge.
Begin in Taipei, the dynamic capital, where flexible private touring with your own guide allows you to explore at your own pace. Visit historic landmarks like Longshan Temple, sip locally grown oolong tea in a traditional teahouse, and stroll through backstreets lined with shops inside century-old buildings. Stop by the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial, take in panoramic views from Taipei 101, and browse local crafts at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. In the evening, sample street food at the bustling Shilin Night Market.
Next, ride a scenic train to Hualien, followed by a private transfer into Taroko Gorge, a marble canyon known for its dramatic cliffs and lush hiking trails. Explore highlights like Eternal Spring Shrine, Swallow Grotto, and Shakadang River, with time to relax at your resort.
Return to Taipei for more private touring, including the National Palace Museum and the scenic Yangmingshan National Park, with optional dining and performance experiences upon request.
