5-Day Luxury Tour Itinerary

Day 1 – Taipei City

  • Fly into Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport near Taipei. By the time we reach your hotel in the capital, we’ll have finalised a plan for the rest of the day that matches your interests and energy levels. Depending on time available, this may include a thorough look at Wanhua, one of the oldest and most interesting parts of Taipei, and home to its best known hall of worship, Longshan Temple, or a wander through the traditional neighbourhood of Dihua Street. The latter, famous for its baroque-revival architecture, is not far from the gorgeous Baoan Temple.
  • Visiting the fabulous National Palace Museum is an option, especially if you’re arriving on a Friday or Saturdays when it stays open to 9pm (closing time is on other days is 6.30pm ). Alternatively, you may want nothing more strenuous than a stroll around Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, a landmark dedicated to the Nationalist Chinese leader who was Taiwan’s president 1949-1975.

Day 2 – Tamsui River District

  • After breakfast in your hotel, we’ll head to the northern part of the city for the Martyrs Shrine, where the hourly changing of the guard is a display of breathtaking precision. Then it’s off to Xinbeitou, where the 1895-1945 Japanese colonization of Taiwan left an especially heavy imprint in terms of architecture and hot-springs culture. Taking a dip in one of the area’s many springs is a real pleasure; if you’d like to do this, let us know in advance and we’ll arrange a top-notch private room with room-service lunch if you like.
  • The historic riverside town Tamsui was home to tea traders, diplomats and other Westerners during the 19th century. Now it’s much loved by tourists who come for the sunset and historic landmarks like Fort San Domingo (built by the Dutch on the site of a Spanish stockade, then later occupied by the British). If time allows, we can drive up the north coast before returning to the city centre via a very scenic road through Yangmingshan National Park.
  • Back in the heart of the city, your wish is of course our command. Shopping, tea tasting and foot massages can all be arranged given a little notice.

Day 3 – Sun Moon Lake

  • Today we’ll be driving for the better part of three hours to Sun Moon Lake, and making at least one halt en route. This could be in the vicinity of the woodcarving centre of Sanyi to visit Shengxing Railway Station and Longteng Broken Bridge. The former is a gorgeous Japanese-era wooden building at the heart of a picturesque village. The latter is what remains of a railway bridge built in 1909, damaged beyond repair in a terrible earthquake in 1935, then further wrecked in another big quake in 1999.
  • We’ll reach the lake in time for a delightful afternoon cruise on a private boat. Once you’ve had your fill of views of this shimmering body of water and the mountains that surround it, we’ll bring you to your waterside hotel to relax before dinner.

Day 4 – Sun Moon Lake

  • Almost everyone agrees that just after daybreak, as the sun climbs up over the nearby peaks, is a splendid moment to appreciate the beauty of Sun Moon Lake. Whenever you’re ready, we’ll likely visit Cien Pagoda (built on the orders of Chiang Kai-shek to honour his late mother) and perhaps a pair of temples that preserve relics associated with Xuan Zang, a Buddhist monk revered for travelling from China to India in 7th century and translating religious texts.
  • Lunch can be at Jindu (a restaurant where presidents and celebrities often dine) in the nearby town of Puli. After the feast you many want to stretch your legs, so we’ll bring you to the Antique Assam Tea Farm, a restored Japanese-era tea plantation which is as educational as it is scenic; tea tastings are a highlight. Alternatively, we can take the cable car from the lakeshore to the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village theme park to enjoy some splendid panoramas.

Day 5 –  Scenic Drive

  • Whatever time your flight out, we’ll help you make the very most of your final day in Taiwan. From Sun Moon Lake it takes around two and a half hours to reach Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, and en route we can take in some of the region’s scenic attractions. The inland towns of Nanzhuang and Beipu are especially picturesque, or we can bring you to Emei where Taiwan’s oriental beauty tea is grown.
