Combining the best of Taiwan’s ancient historical treasures and its splendid natural beauty, our three day Mid Island History and Nature Tour tour brings you from one of Taiwan’s most popular spots for temple hopping into its most scenic mountain regions. Along the way you’ll explore traditional art and culture, eat a plethora of delicious Taiwanese dishes, drink some of the world’s finest tea, forest-bathe amid ancient trees, and witness both an unforgettable sunrise and sunset from a mountain peak. There will also be plenty of opportunities to explore, both in the winding lanes and alleys of Ancient Lugang and in the high-altitude forests of Alishan. We’ll also stop in Taichung to explore the city’s art scene before returning to Taipei. Please note: This tour requires a moderate bit of walking, so comfortable shoes are recommended.

We’ll want to rise early on day three to take the Alishan Forest Railway to the peak, for it's here where we’ll witness the famed sea of clouds as they roll through the valleys below in the hour after sunrise.
