Mostly buses also travel in cities - in Taipei they run between certain zones, and you have to pay extra for each zone. Also in the capital there is a metro, also zonal, with overground and underground lines.

Taiwan is officially a province of China, but this island republic stubbornly seeking independence.

Most of the financial support is income from the tourism business, and many plan their holidays on this Asian island. Why not - the trip will turn out to be cheap, but very exciting.

Best season to visit Taiwan

Depending on the purpose of the trip to the island, you need to decide on the season of visiting it:

• if planned beach holiday, it is difficult to think of a better time than October and November - the air temperature fluctuates between 24 - 28 degrees above zero, the sea is warm, the humidity is low;
• sightseeing and hiking in the mountains will bring joy and pleasure in October - this is the driest and sunniest month of the year in Taiwan;
• favorable months for recreation will be December - February, when it is warm during the day, it is comfortable to swim in the sea, and it rains mainly at night and lowers the air temperature.

You should not go to the island in April and May - this is the season of active rains, which will not even let you go outside. And another period when you definitely don’t need to come to Taiwan is the Chinese New Year holiday. Almost all restaurants, cafes and restaurants do not work, hotels are fully loaded with tourists, and the cost of all goods and services increases significantly.

The cheapest hotels on the island

Taiwan is a small country, which can be explored within a month. The island has 11 major cities, and each of them offers tourists more than 600 options for accommodation during the holidays. Island in recent times becomes popular tourist destination Therefore, it is advisable to make a reservation in advance. Things to consider:

• the most convenient cities for tourists are Hualien, Taipei and Taichung - it is in them that you should choose a hotel and from there go to the beaches and sightseeing;
• the cost of the cheapest room is 2700 rubles per day, it will be double, with private facilities and air conditioning;
• the maximum price of a double room is 12,300 rubles;
• if you rent a double room with a sea view and meals, then the most low price will be 4050 rubles;

Since Taiwan is a young republic, every vacationer will receive maximum attention and amenities. All hotel staff are fluent in English language, rooms are cleaned daily, the service is obscenely polite and "inconspicuous".

You can move around the island of Taiwan by public transport or a rented car. But in the latter version, one nuance must be taken into account - the roads to major cities so narrow that traffic jams, congestion and lack of parking are considered natural. Experienced travelers believe that tourists should rent a car only to move from city to city.

There are more than enough attractions on the island, but 7 main ones are highlighted in a separate list and are included in organized excursions. You can explore them on your own, but it is much more interesting to be in these places with an experienced guide who will tell the history of the attraction, the legends associated with it.

Watch the video about the trip to Taiwan:

Its height is more than 500 meters, the construction was completed in 6 years, the result was the recognition of the skyscraper as a model of the uniqueness of engineering. It has 101 floors and, being in a seismic zone (Taiwan is completely included in it), is considered completely safe.

Engineers on the 92nd floor of the skyscraper installed a huge metal ball weighing 800 tons, which, when swinging, is able to dampen the inertia of the building. Thanks to this, even with a strong earthquake, the structure remains completely motionless.

Entrance to the skyscraper is free, but you need to pay about 950 rubles for a high-speed elevator to the 89th floor - this is how much a ticket costs. For this amount, you can not only ride up / down, but also visit the observation decks, which offer stunning views of the surroundings.

East of Taipei there is a small locality Wanli is where the Ye Liu Geopark is located. For hundreds of years, nature has created a "museum" on the rocks under open sky- sculptures of "honeycombs", "mushrooms", "candles", "queen's head" amaze everyone's imagination. There is also an observation deck in the park, which overlooks the East China Sea.

You can walk around the geopark on your own, but you must follow the safety rules. The cape protrudes too much into the sea (almost 2 km) and with wind, a storm there is a high risk of carrying people into the abyss.

For tourists, there are fences in the form of a red line, a rope - it is very dangerous to cross it: there are cases when guests disappeared in the waves even with a relatively weak storm warning.

It is located in Taipei and is famous for its collection of ancient exhibits - there are more than 720 thousand of them! Paintings, porcelain sets, household items, weapons - they "tell" about the history of the province of China and the life of the ruling dynasties. There are parks and squares around the museum, here you can have a great rest from the city noise, see beautiful statues.

Before visiting the National Palace Museum, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the exhibits presented - this can be done on the official website. The fact is that in the museum some exhibition items are signed only in the local language and it is impossible to immediately understand whether it is worth examining them.

Located 20 km from the capital of Taiwan, is located on an area of ​​11 hectares. Everything is done here to attract tourists - hot springs with baths, a small hotel for rest from walks, cafes and restaurants with dishes national cuisine. A very interesting "attraction" - everyone is given rubber boots, in which he can walk along the "water meadow" and collect a bouquet of callas - they will immediately pack it and allow him to take it with him.

The top point of the park is located at 1120 m above sea level, so you won’t be able to walk along absolutely all the paths even in a whole day - the area is too large. Therefore, it is worth choosing one direction and moving clearly in that direction. In any case, there is a place for lunch and rest.

The name translates as "crystal clear", but the Taiwanese call the lake the lotus valley - hundreds of these large flowers bloom on the surface. Around the lake there is big park where several temples are located. One of them was built over a century ago and is dedicated to the god of medicine, Pasheng Tati. The park is spread over several small islands, which are interconnected by interesting zigzag bridges.

On Chengqing, you can not only admire the beauties of nature, but also play golf, go fishing, and take a horse ride. There is also a boat rental - every tourist can make a mini-trip, and the cost of the rental does not depend on the hours of use of the "equipment".

At one time, it was built in honor of the god of war Guan Gong and the thinker Confucius - this is such a strange combination of personalities that the locals worship. On the ground floor of the complex, the halls are dedicated to the god of war - here you can see not only exhibits, but also unique wall carvings.

The second floor is completely dedicated to the philosopher Confucius, so there is nothing particularly interesting for tourists here. But the third floor of the complex is especially popular - it is a copy of the chambers of the Jade Emperor. There are frescoes on the walls, original ceiling paintings, images of dragons and a separate memorial. Everything is adorned with precious stones.

The most frequently visited attraction, which is a monumental building guarded at the entrance by stone lions. Inside there is a Buddha hall, where images of all three Phoenixes are shown in different poses - sitting on huge lotuses, elephants, lions.
