After a good night's sleep and a delectable breakfast, your 5-day tour in Taiwan continues as you journey along the east coast, known as the last unspoiled place of the island. Wherever you go, it never ceases to amaze you with its enchanting natural beauty. You'll visit some of the most impressive scenic spots along the way, including Xiaoyeliu, Sanxiantai and Shitiping, each boasting its own distinctive geological features.
