Natural Wonders

Taiwan's geological variety, featuring high mountains, open plains, lush river basins, offshore islands, marble canyons, rocky and sandy coastlines, and undersea coral reefs, offers an endless array of outdoor adventure and relaxation.

Volcanic Springs

Taiwan boasts a wide range of restorative and relaxing volcanic springs, from hot springs, cold springs, and mud springs to saltwater hot springs.

Taroko Gorge

Literally carved out of marble by the river coursing through it, Taroko Gorge is punctuated by precipitous cliffs, jagged faults, and yawning clefts. The Central Cross-Island Highway, an engineering marvel, gives visitors close access to the gorge's waterfalls, hot springs, hiking trails, and swimming holes.

Alishan

Rising from the center of the island, Alishan is famous for its trees, tea, spectacular sunrises, and historic alpine railway - one of just three remaining in the world. Ascend from 30 meters to over 2,000, passing verdant tea fields and misty forests along the way.

Sun Moon Lake

Set deep within the rolling hills of central Taiwan like a Chinese landscape painting, the area is great for boating, camping, and cool fun in the sun.
