History buffs on a tour of Taiwan will discover ancient artifacts stored at outstanding national museums narrating nearly 10,000 years of Asia's history. Those interested in more active pursuits can organize a Taiwan itinerary around its modern mountain resorts, well-developed beaches, and protected forests sheltering hundreds of species of native plant and animal life. Begin your visit in Taipei, a vibrant capital city with a thriving entertainment scene, relatively inexpensive accommodations, and an eclectic culinary scene.
Taoyuan travel guide

Its location near Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport makes it a convenient place to stay overnight, and while there aren't that many tourist-friendly things to do in Taoyuan, the industrial city is home to many modern shopping malls, cafes, and affordable restaurants. Those looking for an outdoor adventure can make the most of a range of nearby trails by going hiking.
