Top 30 things to do and attractions in Taitung City

Railway art village Finally I come here, this is my target spot in Taitung downtown. Full art, culture and warmth. there are many handmade goods a little bit expensive. But find, it’s depend on what u like it.

This is an interesting area part of the urban redevelopment of the Japanese-era trackworks. Unfortunstely, the area was undergoing major construction works and most spaces were inavcessible

Went there twice, once during the day and once at night. Obviously, there's not much to see here during the day, but the atmosphere at night is mesmerizing. There was a live musician by the purple Christmas tree at the front of the road and there were quite a few people visiting although it's low season and a lot of the stalls weren't open that day. There's a selection of handicraft such as scented candles to choose from and you'll find a place to sit down and have a beer. The lanterns look lovely at night and give the place a special charm.

This place is in Taitung city located along a wide boulevard within a.huge garden. Good for strolls and coziness. On weekends, local artists display their handicrafts and artworks for sale. There are also buskers performance as well. Also some restaurants operate there serving normal fares. Overall this is anice place to visit if you are in Taitung city. The sun and weather brightens you up from Oct onwards. Bright sunshine, beautiful clouds, stunning flowers, cool wind blowing and the sea view from the mountain is stunning.

Nice place to visit to see colorful mini hot air balloon art. You can walk around to take pictures. Sometimes they have different music events here so check the schedule to see what's happening. It looks different at night when the lights are on.

Such a lively place both during the day and at night! There's lots of little local shops and artists to support. It's a great place to hangout at night, with the lanterns lit up and places to sit down in the grass and just eat and chill. Note: Visited prior to COVID

Quite an enjoyable place to have a walk and relax. It has a number of artistic displays or constructs. There's also a shop selling interesting trinkets. Worth a visit.

Bicycle is recommended to visit the park. Cover yourself with UV protection. Sun glasses, hats are needed when you set your foot into the park. One word of warning! I saw a rattle snake crossing the pavement today. So be careful! They won't attack you unlythey felt threatened! A good place to get in contact with the nature.

This park is lovely. I saw so many white birds in a tree at Egret Lake that from a distance it looks like flowers. Bring water as I didn't see anywhere you could refill a water bottle (but I could have missed it). Lots of families and I'd think it would be a great place with a bike - esp if you started along the coast as there is a dedicated bike lane most of the way here

Great place to walk and enjoy nature. Access to Egret Lake.

The forest park is situated near Taitung Ocean park and it is well connected to public transportation. Forest Park has major two entry and exit points and Park is full of nature-dedicated trails with ponds, greenish vegetation, beaches. It is the perfect park for relaxing and it will take you close to nature. The park is expanded by approximately 10km with different vegetation and trails are designed in unique and adventurous ways that will keep you three hours busy in exploration. You can rent the battery or manual bicycle for a ride in the park and that is available at affordable prices in nearby shops. The park has a restroom at various locations and the complete information is highlighted in the Park in bilingual languages. But there are no restaurants in the Park or water dispensers or vending machines.

It's definitely a must visit. I didn't have much anticipation at first. But the ride and the scenery meditate my mind. Tips: Make sure to rent an ebicycle. As the park is huge. Cycle will be hard to cover everything.

This place is so big and good for spending time with your friends and family. Also, you are able to rent a bike to go around this area. I did enjoy being with my family there. BTW you have to pay the entrance fee before you get inside.

Enjoying 🚴 with the nice weather. Try your best to avoid visit to the park during hot sun ☀ weather, unless you wish to have healthy tant skin. Please bring sufficient drinking water with you because there is no water dispenser and store in the park.

The content is really good! I suggest following a guide in the museum so they tell you more stories behind the scenes. The structure and designing of the building is to honor the archaeological discoveries. There are places for children to play and craft room to make souvenirs. Buses and trains are limited, so plan ahead if you are taking public transportation.

Well worth a visit! I quite enjoy anthroplogy but we had children with us. I like how it wasn't too big that it would take up your whole day and the museum had many child inclusive programming. The kids love the interactive exhibits and the Aboriginal programming was really well done.

This was well worth the visit. Very interactive with a lot of child friendly areas. The museum covered prehistoric times, natural history, and Austronesian history and the modern history of Taiwan's indigenous peoples.people's. This was very well done with a lot of content in English as well.

It's a little out of the way but I enjoyed our time here. It's a huge property for kids to run around and to explore. I love the silly drawings all over the museum. The exhibits are nicely displayed. It wasn't crowded at all, but we came on a weekday. There is a kid's area with some toys.

Complete transformation of the museum post-COVID. The displays of Austronesian culture are amazing, both in the objects themselves but also in the stories that are told. Contemporary contributions and challenges to these communities are presented with thoughtfulness and respect. A must see museum. The only downside is that is is located far from any public transportation so you will need to taxi, bike or drive; its kind of out in the boonies!

Fascinating exhibits on Taiwanese and Austronesian prehistory. Definitely worth a visit. Not very convenient to visit if you don't have a personal vehicle though.

I was very impressed by the museum! Both by the building itself and by all the information available. It covers Taiwanese history from 30.000 years ago all the way to 400 years ago, with 2 dedicated sections for the human side and environmental side of things. It also has a section for international historical sites and austronesian history. I would definitely recommend it to any english speaking tourists in the area. One thing to note: if you plan on using google maps to find your way there with a bycicle, it will guide you to the back of the building where the wheelchair accessible lift is located to access the onsite restaurant for some reason. The entrance is on the other side of the building, just in front of the massive parking space.

Many jacuzzi options available in public pool. Remember to wear your swimwear and swim cap is compulsory ! Entrance fee is reasonable as there is no time restriction. Clothes spinner is available and convenient to spin dry our swimwear after the hot spring. Couple room is limited but cheaper for 2 person.

The hotel had good hot springs but none of them are “natural” they are all in man made concrete pools. The mountains surrounding are breathtaking. The surrounding villages are very run down.

Went there at 9am for hit springs. We had everything for ourself. There were 3 monkey, Great experience! Cant rate the rooms

Beautiful relaxing hot springs, surrounded by mountains. Different pools and temperatures, including water bubble massage section.

Zhiben's hot spring water is great but the facilities are starting to show their age a little. It's a bit pricy and hard to travel to but it is great for a soak on a cold day.

There's is not an actual public hotspring here. Go to the temple nearby, get inside, they have bathtubs with hot and cold water, "pay" a small donation in the entrance when you finish using them (based on what locals said, 50NTD per person is fine).

Rebuilding. Will be great again. Meanwhile perfectly good. Short walk to excellent food. Room simple but intelligent.

Not bad, not great. Its a nice place to take a stroll and watch the waves hit the rocks. Don’t think you need more than half an hour here :)

Scenic spot on the east coast called Little Yeliu (Xiaoyeliu).When you arrive at Fugang Geopark go to the visitor center and learn about the ecological evolution of Fugang. I am really amazed in seaside plant and happy to hear the relaxing sound of wave coming from the ocean while walking on the coconut trail. I can hear the chirping of birds.Relaxing quiet atmophere of the mountain forest. You can take a rest in the pavillion and listen to the natural music of the waves. I also enjoy the breathtaking view of dancing ocean with thick layers of sandstone and thin layers of mudstone. There are visitor centers, shop that selling nice souvenirs and delicious different flavors of ice cream,clean restrooms,camping areas,and seaside trail park.Must visit in Taitung County, Taiwan and experience the magnificent landscape created by the changes in the ocean and the erosion of the ocean for thousands of years creating spectacular tofu rocks and honeycomb rocks that attract the attention of travelers like me. If you love natural wonder of nature you will surely enjoy it.

Car parking fee is NTD 50. Can have a look though but it just a very little spot. Under 30++ degree weather cannot bear anymore😂

This place is a must-see in the Taitung seaside area!

great place to look at the coast and the pacific ocean. they've got all sorts of interesting looking rocks as a result of erosion over the years. they also have a few high points to view the coast. there's also a few stores selling souvenirs, ice cream and some other stuff. nice place to visit if you enjoy looking at the ocean. they have a trail to walk along and also can walk along the Rocky coast if you choose to.

It's about a 20min bicycle ride from the city here. The ride isn't exactly scenic but it's convenient. You can also stop at the forest park on your way. It was cloudy on the day I went, I'm sure that makes a difference, so the view was so so. There were a couple of families playing hide and seek around the rocks, other than that there were few people. Further up North are a couple more scenic spots so it makes sense to spend a day or so in the area. There is no entrance fee.

We planned for the quick stopover to check out this place, and we spent almost 1.5 hours and we wish we can spend more time here if we could. This is a beautiful place, and my kids were enjoying rock climbing/ jumping, watching small fishes, crabs and lizards in between the rocks. Love this!!!

Only available on Friday & Saturday. Compared to Raohe night market, you can said it is smaller in scale. However, it has most of the food variety which you normally find in night market. And it seemed Taitung folks really like Western food on grill a lot and it has long queue.

Well, if we are talking about night markets this is quite a small one compared with other night markets in Taiwan. The stalls are not too many as well, hence the choices are very limited too But there are many signatures old stall there like the stinky taufu etc Overall it is not bad.

Honestly its a great nightmarket. Much much better than Hualien’s. Locals are happy. Friendly. Patient. Good vibe. Good food. Beautiful people.

I liked this market more than the one in Hualien. I feel they have more variety of food (or maybe they just have more food that's to my liking 🤷‍♀️). There's outdoor seatings available, though they might be specific to certain stalls. Lots of games, the feeling is quite festive.

Small night market but the food variety are good thou. The biggest stall in the night market here is the steak, omelette and smelly tofu stall in the middle. Taitung is famous for their Custard apple. Their custard Apple taste very sweet. Price is definitely cheaper. The night market have one stall selling dessert. Their egg tart and cream puff taste quite good thou.

Crowded on a Saturday evening. Smelly tofu with herbal soup was really hearty and comforting, which was perfect for a cold rainy day. There were also pork chop and the usual oyster omelette.

Nice night market with a good variety of food. Opening time says 5pm, but shouldn’t go there before 6-7 ish, because many food stalls need some more time to get the food ready.

I loved our evening at the music village in Taitung. The market stalls were full of lovely arts and crafts, as well as food stalls. The live music helped create a great atmosphere. The lights and lanterns around the area were beautiful, too.

I don't think I'm familiar with this place enough to give a review, but I'm leaving the comment before I leave this beautiful city. To my knowledge, I know the original contributor of this area :台灣好基金會 is withdrawing from the management and transferring it to the government. It signifies a new operation that will be more inclusive than exclusive to local businesses and performers. The quality and uniqueness of the boutiques and performances rendered by the former exclusiveness will diminish but not vanish. And that's what I saw and that's what's happening when I visited to the market. The lack of visitors volume and diversity of the merchant types is obvious, but it could be due to the low season. Nevertheless, the intricate architectural and illumination innovation caught everyone's eye including mines. The participation and organization are somewhat overdisappointing because I was expecting much better involvement. In short: too good the hardware, making the software going down too obvious.

A retired train station wouldn’t be allowed wasted, so here’s this artists village. Music, shows, street performance are offered and presented on regular schedule. Check their timetable beforehand so that you won’t feel let down but false expectations. Remember to bring a nice camera while taking a easy stroll along the trees and architectures of creative shapes.

The place consists of two main rows of shops, instead of the usual food stand you find at night markets, most of these sell handmade works of art, ranging from accessories to sculptures. There are usually performers playing music in the background. There are also cafes not too far from this main walkway. It’s nice to come in the evening after 8, when it’s not too busy. The downside is that most of the shops would be getting ready to leave for the night.

This place open after 6pm. We were there early but most stalls has yet to open. But the ambience here is really nice. The stalls here sells artistic stuff or self made items which is a suitable place to find gift for your love ones. They also have live band here for you to chill out.

a live house here, you can find some awesome indie music here. some artists run stores here as well I think they don't open in the morning, some will open in the afternoon the best time to visit is the late evening, it looks different with lights on

The coolest place in Taitung run by the coolest local I’ve met so far! The musical selection is diverse and captivating, the bar is cozy and relaxing, and the overall vibe of the village and street market is just unbeatable. Definitely a place you need to check out for yourself if you’re in Taitung and make sure to bring your friends along too!

Another stop on our east coast tour. Beautiful scenery.

The ocean view is amazing here. When I saw the sea view, my pressure was reduced! However, if you would like to visit the place, I suggest to wear a coat since the wind is strong here.

This place is just off the High Road and offers scenic view of the sea and nice space to sit in the shade. Oh yes and toilets!!! Good space to let the kids run around not many people.

Nice place to see the ocean. Some artificial photo points for tourist. There is carpark and public toilet here.

Amazing oceanside view. Great mountains, rocky beach, high clouds, and blue sky and pacific ocean. You can see the "Green Island" in the farside horizon in a good-seeing day. A big parking area and public toilet are here.

As mentioned by others, it is a small scenic park to stop at (there is a parking lot) if you are on the road between Taitung and Hualien. The view of the ocean and the mountains is quite nice and there is no entry fee. The whole East coast is lovely, so if you are in a rush, I recommend checking all view points on Google Maps in advance in order to choose which one you would like to visit the most as it is actually a long ride between both cities.

Interesting and quirky sculptures, but nothing particularly amazing. Terrific views of the ocean and mountains, but similar to other locations in this part of the island. Definitely worth a stop if you happen to be passing by, but I wouldn't make a special trip.

I’ve found out this temple by walking around the city. It’s a quiet place just right at the center of the city.

Another ornate and intricate temples in Taiwan. One of the larger and more impressive ones in Taitung. Take time to see the details in everything! Amazing

a very worthwhile to visit temple with over a hundred years of history of struggle between the last chinese empire and the aboriginals, then the occupying japanese and the local taiwanese, then the occupying (?) kmt and the local taiwanese again depicting how a source of water became what it is today with great wall writings and variety of Dao deities and of course major focus on Matzu and the old moon grandpa for couples wishing to get married.

Beautiful worship place in city.! I took some pics.

Its very beautiful and a must see in Taitung.

Great place to visit. Night time the temple looks more stunning.

it's a historic site build back in late 1600's. good place to visit don't matter what religion your coming from. on the site of this temple there'r many street food, mainly cooked in old fashion. why not give a try when you visit my home town 😊😊😊

We were racing with the typhoon to avoid getting caught by unexpected train stop if the wind & rain were too strong. All Pintong stops & the hot air balloon event got cancelled due to Typhoon, but we were lucky to continue our journey because typhoon was heading north through Taiwan strait. On the train, we got a sandwich, drink & many souvenirs along with many other activities. The train was full of excitements & joys from every passenger.

Train station has a good, clear layout. Everything is very clean. There is a tourist info stand with staff who speaks good English. Nice convenience stores outside. The steamed dumplings shop outside is awesome. We had the pork belly gua bao and the steamed dumplings and they were so delicious! See pictures

I did not have much time to take photos let alone take any videos of the station since I did not arrive early enough. However, I was surprised at how bright, spacious, and organized everything was. I had to go to use the restroom first and the sign to the restroom was clear as day, very easy to follow the signs to get to places both inside and outside the train station! The lobby of the train station was very clean and it was easy to locate two water dispensers side by side to quickly get some water before the long train ride. The stamp station was right next to the water dispensers so I quickly stamped as many as I could onto the first page of my journal to remember my long holiday at Taidong. All that said, this train station is immaculate. I definitely would rate this as better than a lot of the other large cities’ train stations. Although having the train leaving at almost midnight might be playing a huge factor in all this haha.

Impressive station with a variety of amenities, including restaurants and merchandise stores. Additionally, a visitor information center is available for assistance. It's worth nothing that some restaurant menus are primarily in Chinese, but for those less familiar with this, the convenience of nearby 7-11 or Family Mart offers an easy alternative.

A nice station, but since those "armrests" have been added to the bench for the only purpose of preventing people from lying down I get upset every time I pass by. Look up 'hostile architecture or 敵意建築 If you're not sure what I'm talking about. If homeless people stay at the station its because they are excluded from society, it's really sad that the train station's answer is to exclude them a second time.

Decent place with convenient stores and many people selling cultural items, but keep in mind the place normally has many mosquitos.

Good taste of Bento and like the service of Taiwan Railway. Traveling by train must be experienced in Taiwan

(Translated by Google) ❤️ Fukuoka Geopark ❤️ Opening hours: 24 hours Address: Taimali Township, Taitung County I'm looking forward to this attraction. The sea in Taitung is super beautiful and clean. Everyone left after taking pictures. It's not good to damage the environment ❤️❤️ (Original) ❤️ 福岡地質公園 ❤️ 營業時間：24H 地址：台東縣太麻里鄉 蠻期待這個景點、台東的海超級美/乾淨，大家都拍完照片就散人 也不好去破壞環境保護 ❤️❤️

(Translated by Google) The sea-eroded rocks are eye-opening, but it was too hot in summer and we couldn't stay there for long. We could only rest in the pavilion next to the parking lot. On weekdays, there were few people there. Sitting in the pavilion, feeling the sea breeze, it was refreshing. I followed another guy's example and lay on an empty bench and almost fell asleep. (Original) 海蝕奇岩林立，讓人眼界大開，可惜酷夏炎熱，無法久待，只能在停車場旁的涼亭休息。平日人煙稀少，坐在涼亭中，吹著海風，清涼暢快。效法另一位老兄，躺在無人的長椅，差點睡著。

(Translated by Google) Tomioka Geopark has a guide who gives in-depth tours and introduces many iconic rocks. It is a great place for outdoor learning. I visited it in the morning and evening, and the scenery was very different. At night, I saw many hermit crabs everywhere, which was a pleasant surprise. (Original) 富岡地質公園，有導覽員深入導覽介紹，看到很多形象石，是很好的戶外教學場所。早晚各來一次，景色大不相同，夜間來好多寄居蟹出沒在各地，很有驚喜感

(Translated by Google) Known as Little Yeliu, it features many unique landforms shaped by seawater erosion. During hot weather, there's less shade and less wind, and the stone paths are difficult to navigate. Elderly visitors are advised to exercise caution when visiting. The visitor center also sells drinks, including coconut water. Those who prefer not to hike can rest here and enjoy the natural scenery. (Original) 有小野柳之稱， 很多被海水侵蝕而產生的特殊地形， 天氣熱的時候， 比較沒有遮蔭的地方， 也比較沒有風， 石頭道路不是太好走， 建議長者要參觀時，需注意安全。 遊客中心也有賣飲料， 還有椰子水， 不想要走這麼多路的，也可以在這裡休憩， 欣賞一下大自然的風景。

(Translated by Google) Nature's landscaping is truly magical. They even have a dedicated molting area for the hermit crabs. I've never seen so many of them together before. (Original) 大自然的造景，真是神奇~ 還有特地為寄居蟹規劃隨時可換殼區域，還沒看過一次那麼多寄居蟹在一起~

Nice little get away in the middle of the city. You can find some quiet space on one of the several overlooks to be calm and look over the city b

Great short hike within the city with a great view of the Taitung city landscape.

I came for the temples but found lots of old people dancing in the park. So many old people. Why does Taitung have so many old people? It’s okay though, they were friendly enough. Some of the viewing points were closed for seemingly the next few months, so be prepared for that.

Scenic place. Be prepared to climb steps n you will be rewarded with good view. There are locals exercising n dancing to music. There is daily farmers market too

Nice and peaceful place to visit. You can also get a view point where you can easily locate Rail Art Museum and a beautiful market. Far away, you can also see ocean and one side and mountains on the other.

Beautiful park with a lot of Pagodas, locals singing & a trail which you go up to see the city from above. Don't skip it shen you come here.

Steps steps steps steps. Felt that this park is a little underwhelming. There were a lot of little flies flying around too. Please bring insect repellant if you’re thinking of coming here.

This park is a nice spot for a quick visit and could be an ideal location for watching the sunrise, as cloudy horizons are rare. It’s spacious and uncrowded, making it a peaceful place to relax. However, it could benefit from more greenery, as the lack of trees is noticeable. Additionally, the smelly sewer outlet near the artistic boat by the shore is a significant drawback that needs attention. The beach access is challenging, with plenty of granite rocks to navigate, which might not be suitable for everyone but could be a fun activity for kids. Overall, it’s a pleasant park for a walk, though improvements in these areas would make it even better.

Great beautiful beach Unfortunately, we could not play water at the beach because the waves are big You can reach there by public bus or bike, you can also rent bikes near the beach Must visit when you come to Taitung

Taitung Seaside Park boasts stunning ocean views, a unique boat-shaped art installation, and vast open spaces, blending nature with creativity to become a hotspot for photography and travel. It’s perfect for watching sunrises, leisurely walks, and family outings while enjoying the sea breeze and coastal ecology. In good weather, you also can see the green island. Visit during sunrise or sunset for the best experience, and explore nearby attractions like Tiehua Village and Taitung Forest Park, which are just within walking distance. Combining art and nature, this scenic coastline is a must-visit for solo travelers and families alike.

Beautiful and nice to walk BUT again like so many place in Taiwan its ruined by stray dogs. They are highly dangerous. They should do something about it. A small kid will end up killed eventually.

A beautiful place to run. Beautiful sunrise view and if you don’t mind the cold breeze, this is the best place to go if you want to relax & chill.

On another day this park probably wouldve been better but it was a rainy day. It has great views of the ocean and some art scattered around. If you are traveling through the east coast you don't need to go out of your way to see it. There are many many other places worth spending your time at.

Worthwhile nice place for long walks and can connect to forest which requires pay of 80 but can see pipa lake which is worthwhile

📍You need a car or scooter to get to the site. It's not a far drive from the Taitung train station. They have plenty of parking spaces. 🚻 There are restrooms available. 🌳 The site is very well kept. One can authentically experience the atmosphere and traditions of the Beinan tribe.

Nice outdoor museum. Very well maintained.

Wow I dont know why this place is not busy?! Huge place with swings and area for kids to play, instagram shots and more!!! Seriously Best in the late afternoon as it’s hotter in the morning and summer lunchtime. A good places to walk around explore he grounds and take pictures. It’s near the train station so it’s easy access. The parking lot is huge, and leaves to a museum that explains more of the history. If you have free time away from the ocean and want to see some other historical areas then a good place. There is a very large area for kid to play with even tree awing or two! Reminds me of Jamestown in Virginia.

Accessible and affordable, it lies in the northern part of Taidong city, in the close outskirts. Big, and well kept park, it's ideal for a picnic, as well as getting acquainted with Taiwan's mysterious prehistory. It dates more than 5000 years back and it provides a good amount of information of a little-known culture which it's said it gave birth to either one or another of the 2 biggest ethnic groups of Taiwan. It's a burial site hiding a priceless and remarkable content of objects of all sorts and skeletons. The park also offers reconstructions of houses, a training center for youth, and an ancient boat. It has clean bathrooms and trails connecting every side of it.

Just a short walk from the train station. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit the site but since I arrived by train anyway, I came here before heading down town. There really isn't much here but you can stroll around a little. The view of the surrounding mountains is quite neat.

Its a tourist attraction...which is near from Taitung train station. Must visit once if you travel to taitung.

It was closed and under construction. I recommend to have more sign and story telling about this place and how people from the past used this place and what they do, it will be more interesting!

Cute shop. The popsicles were great! I bought some tea, hot sauce and a few other souvenirs. The staff were friendly. It was clean and had lots of cute options to buy.

This is a good spot to take pictures and the station has a lot of history this is because the station was once a transportation hub, the platforms, tracks, and trains. Also, many people visit the service center.

The small yellow and white bus I took (8168A) got me from the bus station to the train station in 20 minutes and it left on time from one of the numbered platforms. The TTB buses take 35 minutes to the train station and they leave from a different platform (8). I couldn’t see the platform number posted but I could see small white TTB buses parked along the curb near a sign I couldn’t read. Apparently this is Platform 8. The woman working at the info counter was friendly and spoke some English.

If you have any questions or if you have to wait for bus than you can definitely stay here, spend time in a a/c conditioning place and get all useful information you need

They keep the old train and rail.

Good spot to take pictures. Has a visitor's center close by. Restrooms are terrible. Bring your own tissue paper!

Not much around the area except for a small mall with a theatre.

Interesting place for learning about tribes that lived on this land before the indigenous peoples of the area who survive today. The exhibition was small but interesting, although it was missing some connection to present day indigenous tribes or the connection in the translated content wasn't clear. The grounds are very nice for walking around though and the recreations of living spaces are very interesting. I would recommend also going to the National Museum of Prehistory to get more comprehensive understanding and context.

Came in the morning of weekday, the whole park was very quiet, there were some people jogging. The museum inside opens at 9 am, so we did not get to go inside.

We still have some time to stay around Taidong so we tried to look near by place from train station. This place surprised me. Very great place to take you kids or dogs to run around and kill the energy! Highly recommended! No need to buy entry and here are some culture art center and architecture to see and the best part is the sit on the swing and do nothing, just enjoy the breeze!

Nice cultural site of the indigenous people that lived here years ago. the entire site is quite big and you can just relax and walk around. there is also a museum you can go in and the ticket is only 30 ntd. lots of parking and it's free. wasn't busy at all when I went on a weekday.

This was a fun little surprise, right by the train station. It's nice to see something (pre-order)historical that actually relates to the island's history, not the republic of China's history. It's nothing huge or overwhelming, but a nice 30 mins stroll right by the train.

Fun visitiors centre at the site of the oldest archeological finds in Taiwan, with replicas of different structures from various eras alongside the excavations. The highlight is the oldest free standing megalith in Taiwan, still vertical after 3500 years

Nice attraction and very informative. Covers a large area, so takes a while to walk around but peaceful surroundings.

Another stop on our east coast tour. Beautiful scenery.

The ocean view is amazing here. When I saw the sea view, my pressure was reduced! However, if you would like to visit the place, I suggest to wear a coat since the wind is strong here.

This place is just off the High Road and offers scenic view of the sea and nice space to sit in the shade. Oh yes and toilets!!! Good space to let the kids run around not many people.

Nice place to see the ocean. Some artificial photo points for tourist. There is carpark and public toilet here.

Amazing oceanside view. Great mountains, rocky beach, high clouds, and blue sky and pacific ocean. You can see the "Green Island" in the farside horizon in a good-seeing day. A big parking area and public toilet are here.

As mentioned by others, it is a small scenic park to stop at (there is a parking lot) if you are on the road between Taitung and Hualien. The view of the ocean and the mountains is quite nice and there is no entry fee. The whole East coast is lovely, so if you are in a rush, I recommend checking all view points on Google Maps in advance in order to choose which one you would like to visit the most as it is actually a long ride between both cities.

Interesting and quirky sculptures, but nothing particularly amazing. Terrific views of the ocean and mountains, but similar to other locations in this part of the island. Definitely worth a stop if you happen to be passing by, but I wouldn't make a special trip.

Stunning view, folk art pieces crafted using driftwood displayed around and colourful houses. Picturesque scenery accompanied with sea breeze... 超爽超美丽但也有点热

Very beautiful coastline. However, there is a lack of maintenance for the art work installed along the walk way. There are other impressive ocean to look at closer to Taitung.

Aboriginal village area which touches the sea. Really nice little spot. Have some tourist-friendly presentations to teach about Taiwanese aboriginal culture

Quiet place to enjoy Pacific ocean view

cool driftwood sculpture, and fun copies which strangely compliments the rocky shoreline, and brings presence to an otherwise neglected coastal village.

nice & beautiful coast

A little village with pure residence and significant view

A small museum. There was an exhibition on two indigenous artists in the main building. Different sculptures are displayed outdoors at various parts of the museum, incorporated as part of the landscape. There are two cafes and some shops in the premise.

Its a modest museum but I really enjoyed the few hours I spent there. The coffee and gift shop are very nice. Everyone I interacted with was very kind and helpful.

They had the most amazing exhibition on when we went. My favourite I've ever seen in my life honestly. So much effort and thought and time was put in, so worth it. Such a great place.

Although the museum was closed the day we went, the outdoor exhibits made up for it. It was like an adult’s play area where one can walk up a high platform, or climb up to the tree top. Coffee shops open around 10 am.

Too often in our modern society it is difficult to “see it all.” Museums hold vast depths of history to explore, libraries yield lifetimes of books. This is not one of those places, and for that it deserves our praise. In as little as 10 minutes, you can experience all that Taitung Art Museum has to offer. It may just change your life. Keep your Smithsonian, your British Museum—I’ll be here looking at any one of the at least three paintings they have. Side note—there are some really cool wooden structures outside you can climb on. Definitely worth a visit.

AmaIng exhibition on stop motion on Joss paper, a great way to spend some time between dropping off our rental car and catching the ferry to green island. The staff here are also incredibly friendly, I had a great time talking with one of them about the exhibition and shared similarities across our cultures. They even called a taxi for us so we could get to Fugang harbor, as Uber isn't used in Taitung and there aren't many taxis outside of the train station.

Unfortunately, the museum was closed, but the surrounding area offers an insight into some of its collections

This night market is only opened every Sunday, probably that’s the reason why it’s so crowded. Felt that most stalls were from taitung’s night market on Saturday with a lot more games stalls. Really love the prawn cracker, thou its a bit on the pricey side. 150 yuan

Very nice market. Its crowded. But I loved the vibe. Loved the food. I had duck head, taro balls and chicken feet and 2 differents sausage. From 4 differents stands and all was very very good.

Quite an interesting and extraordinary experience for anyone who visits tytoon just go for the Sunday night Market because it's on Sunday. It has a different flare and energy. It's once in a week and locals go there for having fun.

Food food, endless stall of food. Must try the donut

Favorite one so far during 2 weeks of road trip around the island.

Night market seems less busy than other places, maybe because of the pandemic. I enjoyed walking around and look at what they have. We ended up have some food and dessert, which is yummy.

Don’t miss this vibrant night market!! Opens only on Sundays!!

Pretty good kids playground just next to the stadium.

Good for running no killer dogs there haha

Very nice and modern track. All-weather surface, with markings for all major distance events. Lots of locals use it early in the morning to walk and jog.

We love the playground!

good

The building by the Swiss architect Justus Dahinden, which was built almost 60 years ago is impressive. It also includes a small chappel on the top floor. Unfortunately, this master piece is not in the best condition. To visit the building, an application has to be done to the school.

The website of reservation always has a problem. The best way for visiting the church is phone reservation. Otherwise, there is no way to go inside successfully. If you do call, please remember the extension number 730 to get the reservation done. Also worth keeping in mind that this place is heavily bureaucratic.

wow, corb like church in Taiwan, v.cool place, needs sensitive tlc...

Story behind the chapel is touching

Beautiful

A good small 30 minute up and down hike on this small mound in the middle of Taitung. All concrete stairs and walk ways. I always have to do these small urban hikes when I see them in cities I visit. Nice views.

(Translated by Google) Carp Mountain is located behind Taitung City. It is a natural barrier to the city. Its mountain shape is like a carp, hence its name. The altitude is not high, but it is an excellent place to climb up and look far. There are hiking trails in Liyushan Park. Along the way, you can see rich natural ecology and historical relics, such as air raid shelters, bunkers, etc., carrying traces of the past. Climbing to the Lishou Observation Deck on the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Taitung city, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountains. The beautiful scenery is refreshing. Liyu Mountain is not only the back garden of Taitung citizens, but also a good place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taitung.

(Translated by Google) First time coming to Taitung Life Aesthetics Museum! This time I came here to host the opening ceremony of the Taitung exhibition of the craft center's craft detour event. I took the Xinziqiang 3000 and took a nearly 5-hour drive to get here. Although I felt like my waist was spinning after the ride back and forth. I'm almost done, and I probably won't come this far again in a short time, but I really think Taitung and Taitung Lifestyle Aesthetics Museum are really worth a visit! Taitung Life Aesthetics Museum, under the leadership of Director Xu Xuguo, It has been hosting many high-quality events and exhibitions! Among them, I particularly like the stage of Cultural Broadway, This stage welcomes friends from all over the world or local people. You can sign up to perform on the stage and show your talents that you want to show to others! ! Whether it's musical instruments, dancing, singing or magic, it's really a great cultural exchange, and it also gives people here a platform to watch different entertainment performances! Whether you are a professional performer or a celebrity, it is really great that you can use this stage as a place to express yourself. I hope Taipei can have such a space! ~It feels like talent scouts can also come here to discover talents? ! I hope you can sign up next time you come!

(Translated by Google) Friends come to Nanren Mountain to see Nanren Lake. They apply to the Kenting National Park Management Office for admission in advance and pay the tour guide fee before entering the ecological reserve. The entire Nanren Mountain area has low mountains and stretches, with complex and changeable topography such as hills, valleys, lakes, streams, and grasslands. It is the only remaining low-altitude virgin forest in Taiwan; while Nanren Lake is a remnant depression of an uplifted erosion surface. , the only original natural water area is Yilan Lake. In the early days, people cultivated paddy fields here. Later, the water outlet was filled with earth and embankments were built to form a vast water area. We started from the Nanren Mountain Management Station. The ecology along the way was rich, especially with many butterflies flying around. Various flowers and plants were very interesting under the explanation of the commentator. The one-way trip to the Nanren Lake was about 4.3 kilometers. If you are in a hurry, you can enjoy the scenery and take photos, and then walk back along the road. Remember to use the toilet before starting. The road is still shady and cool, but now there is a setting wind. We felt the power of the strong wind when we were at the commanding heights! (Original) 好友揪伴來南仁山看南仁湖，事先向墾丁國家公園管理處申請入園，繳交導覽解說費用後，才可進入的生態保護區。南仁山區全區低山綿延，兼具丘陵、山谷、湖沼、溪流、草原等複雜多變的地形地勢，是台灣目前僅存的低海拔原始林；而南仁湖是隆起侵蝕面的殘餘窪地，原有的天然水域僅有宜蘭潭，人們早期在此開墾水田，後來出水口被填土築堤而形成面積廣大的水域。我們從南仁山管理站出發，沿途生態豐富，尤其蝶類甚多，在四周飛舞著，各種花木植物，在解說員的說明下十分有趣，一直到南仁湖畔單趟約為4.3公里，不趕時間的話，可以好好賞景拍照，再沿路走回來，記得出發前要上廁所，ㄧ路上還算陰涼，但現在有落山風，我們在制高點時有感受到強風的威力！

(Translated by Google) It is the only remaining low-altitude forest in Taiwan. Application is required for entry. It is about 4.2 kilometers one way and 8.4 kilometers round trip. The park is rich in ecology, with large white-spotted butterflies, small purple-spotted butterflies, Ryukyu blue-spotted butterflies and various different butterflies. The ants are very large and have their nests in the trees. In addition to the nests of pangolins that often appear in relatively humid areas, they are also a base for scholars and experts to do research. There are also eagles near Nanren Lake. In addition, there are fireflies here on May nights. The overall difficulty of the trail is moderate, but it takes a little longer and the slope is not too steep. (Original) 台灣僅存的低海拔林相，近入要經過申請，單趟約4.2公里，來回8.4公里左右。園區內生態豐富，有大白斑蝶、小紫斑蝶、琉球青斑蝶和各種不同的蝴蝶，螞蟻非常的大隻，樹上會有牠們的巢穴，比較潮濕的地方除了常出現穿山甲的窩，也是學者專家做研究的基地，南仁湖的附近也會有老鷹，此外這裡五月的夜晚會有螢火蟲出沒。步道整體難度中等，只是路需走久一點，坡度不會太陡

(Translated by Google) You need to book a guided tour in advance. The round trip takes about four hours. It was cold along the way. I learned about the special phenomenon of vegetation compression and saw more than 20 kinds of butterflies (Red-edged Yellow Gray Butterfly, Lesser Purple Butterfly, Ryukyu Blue Spot Butterfly, Red-striped Swallowtail Butterfly...), and special plants (including: Araceae...). Very worthy and recommended. (Original) 需要之前預約導覽解說。來回約四個小時。沿途走起來很涼。學習了特殊的植被壓縮現象、見了20多種蝴蝶(紅邊黃小灰蝶、小紫斑蝶、琉球青斑蝶、紅紋鳳蝶……)、和特殊的植物(包括：毛筆天南星……)。非常值得和推薦。

(Translated by Google) I want to be alone and have fun, enjoying the mountains and forests from the starting point to the end. I have walked through the mountains and forests many times, and the scenery is similar, but my mood changes with age. I am very happy that there is no one to talk to in the reserve, and I can enjoy my leisure time alone. (Original) 一個人想靜靜想瘦趣，從起點到終點都是一個人享受山林；走過許多次眼前景色大同小異，卻是隨著年紀增長有不同的心境變化；很開心快樂的事是一個人保護區完全沒有人可以對話，而是一個人好好享受休閒生活時光。

(Translated by Google) Currently, to enter this area, you need to apply online. The fee is 250 yuan per person. You can join a group with others. A minimum of 10 people can travel. There are two departure times, one is at 8 am and the other is at 1:30 pm. The round trip is about 9 kilometers, and it takes about 4 hours with the guided tour. There is a gentle mud road along the road, which is rich in ecology. The commentator will introduce it as he walks. From time to time, local proverbs are interspersed, but it is a pity that the brain capacity is not enough, so it goes in the left ear and flows out the right ear. After walking for 2 hours, we reached the commanding heights of Nanren Lake, where we could see the coastline and Nanren Lake in full view. The return trip only took an hour. It was raining a bit and the shoes were all muddy. Fortunately, the management office could clean the shoes. There are two parking lots, which are very easy to park. Although departures are scheduled, you can also leave earlier once everyone has arrived. Only the management office has toilets. If you need to pee on the way, you can only walk behind the queue to deal with it. (Original) 目前要進到此區，需要在網路上申請，收費一個人250元，可以跟別人併團，滿10人成行。出發時間分兩梯次，一個是上午8點，另一個是下午1點半，來回大概9公里，加上導覽約4小時，沿路是平緩的泥巴路，生態豐富，解說員會邊走邊介紹，不時穿插當地的俗諺，只可惜腦容量不夠，左耳進右耳就流出去了。走了2個小時到達南仁湖制高點，可遠望海岸線，南仁湖更是一覽無遺。回程只花了1小時，有點飄雨整個鞋子都是泥巴，還好管理處可以刷洗鞋子。停車場有兩處，很好停車。雖然是定時出發，但人到齊後也可以提早出發。只有管理處有廁所，途中尿急的話，只能走在隊伍後面應變。

(Translated by Google) The round trip is 8.6 kilometers and takes more than three hours of walking slowly. Fortunately, there are commentators to give explanations along the way. In addition to learning more about Taiwan’s unique plants and insects, it also makes us pay more attention to the importance of ecological conservation. The end of the trail The scenery of Nanren Lake is even more amazing (Original) 來回8.6公里，慢慢走三個多小時的腳程，好在有解說員沿路作説明介紹，除了對台灣特有的植物昆蟲多一些了解外，也使我們更重視生態保育的重要性，步道終點的南仁湖景觀更是讓人驚豔

A truly unique and unforgettable spot in Taitung! Uncle’s Little White House is like stepping into a real-life fairytale. Built entirely by one man over 40 years using recycled materials, the structure is full of charm and I can see the similarities with howls moving castle. It's not a traditional tourist attraction, but that’s what makes it so special. A perfect stop for lovers of art, architecture, and local stories.

Quite astonishing that this building is still standing, as it’s frequently bashed by typhoons and earthquakes. Respect to the architect and builder given the materials at hand. It’s places like this that makes Taidong such a magical place.

On the one hand it's an old broken house; the other hand there's beauty in its evolving state. Something that we don't see in the big city. It's also got the Miyazaki movies vibe which makes it even more interesting for the anime fans. Definitely come by to see if you're in the area before the city tears it down.

Cool place and cool building. I checked some info on the internet and there is a blogger sharing that this house was built by an old man. He collected every pieces of material and constructed it by hand, which is amazing. However the old man passed away so now the house remains what it looks now. No one lives here, but it then becomes some tourist destination.

Such a sad story behind this house... You cannot go inside but apparently there are 6 floors that the man built himself by hand. He wanted his son to come back and live with him but he never did and the man sadly passed away 😢

The house is built by an old man himself, so it's not a pretty house but there's a story behind. The owner-Wang, he is a veteran, he continuously built the house for 40 years without any steel, bricks and cement only. Magically this house get through typhoons over 40 years. The house wasn't so big at first, form outside, it looks like 4 floors building but inside it's 6 floors. The reason he built more floors is for his son. His son lives in Kaohsiung, married and work there. He think if he can build more rooms, his son would willing to move back but the wish never came true. Mr. Wang had already passed away, I don't know what will happen to this house. I hope it won't be teared apart and build some stupid shopping mall or something alike.

There’s something sad and gloomy about this house that I like. I’m glad I got to see it.

Situated at the southern tip of Kenting in south of Taiwan, there is a waterfall you can see without climbing any steps. Nice scenery too.

Very bad..... first they let you pay 20 NT$ per person entry and when you are almost there... you get told no access due to construction....wauw....so bad

Beautiful seaside rock formations. Tour guide has funny descriptions for some of the features.

Waterfall was pretty thin since there wasn't much rain recently. Surrounding area is cool though.

Nice place to see power of nature so great to curve out so wonderful nature arts

Definitely worth it if you like to watch the waves and get some awesome photos!

Positively beautiful, a must visit site for nature lovers
