Regulated by the maritime monsoon, Taiwan has a pleasant climate all year round, with no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer. The vegetation is fragrant and the flowers are blooming all year round. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, go to the sea in summer, see red leaves in autumn, and soak in hot springs in winter. Each has its own fun. The average annual temperature in Taiwan is about 22°C except in high mountain areas. Taiwan's summer is from April to November, with the average temperature around 28°C. Taiwan's "cool" winter is from December to March, and even in February, the coldest month, the average temperature is around 20°C.

When he was at home, he often drove to Sun Moon Lake to visit. Sun Moon Lake is located in Nantou County, Taiwan, on the hilltop between Yushan Mountain and Alishan Mountain. It used to be called Shuishalian. It was named because the mist in the lake was as thin as yarn and the water was rippled. Later, because the lake was separated by Guanghua Island, the south shape was like the arc of the moon, and the north shape was like the sun, so it was renamed Sun Moon Lake.

The train will also pass through the forest areas of hot, sub-thermal, warm and cold zones. The forest, sea of ??clouds and sunrise in Alishan are known as the three wonders.
4. Kenting, the "Hawaii" on Taiwan Island
Kenting is not as famous in the mainland as Taipei's "Forbidden City", Sun Moon Lake, and Alishan, but Kenting's scenery is the least generally. When you are in Kenting, you can overlook the Pacific Ocean, Bashi Strait, and Taiwan Strait. Being here makes you feel like you are in Hawaii or Sanya. Kenting is a peninsula located near Kaohsiung, the southernmost tip of Taiwan Island. It is Taiwan's most famous ecological park. Coming here feels like entering a tropical jungle. If you are hungry, there are South American meals and street food. If you're thirsty, there's coffee, juice, fresh fruit and coconut. On the streets of Kenting, you can feel the green mountains and the waves of the sea at the same time. There is only a road between the mountains and the sea at the narrowest point. Between the road and the sea, there is a 10-kilometer-long tropical rain forest. In the embrace of the sea and mountains, there is also a geothermal landscape that spits fire.
5. Taroko is the deepest and majestic tropical canyon
Taroko is a highway built by Chiang Ching-kuo that runs from east to west in Taiwan, from Hualien to Taichung, in Taroko From the pavilion, you can feel the deepest and most majestic scenery of the tropical canyon. Entering the Tailu Canyon, there are tens of thousands of cliffs on both sides, strange peaks reaching into the sky, steep mountains, craggy rocks, meandering streams in the valley, and deep forest springs. It is said that Taroko comes from the Atayal language "Luge", which means barrel.
The terrain here is difficult and has been used as a battlefield many times. Stone bunkers can be seen everywhere, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is like an iron bucket, so it is called "Luge", usually called Taroko. The most spectacular thing in Tailu Canyon is the "tiger's mouth and a line of sky", where cliffs follow the remaining walls. When people are in the gorge, they can only see three cliffs. Looking up, they can only see the valley and the sky. Because the fault line of the canyon is irregular and the steep cliffs are intertwined, turning left and right, the tunnels drilled into the rock belly one after another are like a nine-curved ileum. People call it the "Jiu-curved cave", which is one of the largest tunnels in Zhongheng. spectacle. Zongheng/Writer: Tea produced in Vietnam. Therefore, when buying tea, you must go to a famous tea house, such as the tea house "Tea Shengzi" opened by the century-old Wang Dechuan, the heir to "Dongding Oolong". When buying tea at a scenic spot, you can first ask the store to brew loose tea for you to drink. If the quality is good, ask for this loose tea on the spot.
6. Taiwan Night Markets
There are many night markets in Taiwan that are worth visiting for mainland tourists. Taipei's Shilin Night Market is famous far and wide. Many snacks have gathered flavors from all over the country, and have been improved by the Taiwanese people to integrate the characteristics of various places and Taiwanese characteristics. You must try it when you go to Taipei. Taichung’s suncakes are the most local food and are a great gift to take home.
It is worth reminding that in mainland China, haggling is common when buying things. In some places, it is even "cut in half when you meet, and then fold it in half." Taiwanese people don’t have this habit. Even if they can counter-offer, the discount is very small, so don’t “cut half the price in person” to avoid hurting the harmony of the business. When buying things, you should also pay attention to Taiwan's weights and measures. Taiwan's jin liang is different from that in mainland China. It is still a 16 liang system, which means that in mainland China, it is half a jin, while in Taiwan, it is 8 taels. Taiwan’s area is calculated in units of “ping”, and 1 “ping” is equivalent to 3.3 square meters in mainland China. What Taiwanese people call "grams and tons" is actually "grams and tons" in mainland China.
