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.
