Taiwan travel itinerary hi
Planning a solo Taiwan trip from May 30 – June 3 (4 nights / 5 days) and trying to decide the best itinerary split considering weather too.
I land in Taipei at 6:30 AM on May 30 and fly out from Taipei at 6 PM on June 3, so I’m thinking it makes sense to end the trip in Taipei.
Would you recommend:
Option 1:
1 night outside Taipei + 3 nights Taipei
OR
Option 2:
2 nights outside Taipei + 2 nights Taipei
For the outside-Taipei portion, I’m considering:
Hualien
Kaohsiung
Taichung
Jiufen area
Main interests:
nature/scenery
cafés
food/night markets
relaxed exploration
not rushing too much
I was originally leaning toward Hualien, but with Taroko still partially restricted, I’m not sure if it’s still worth 2 nights. Also wondering how bad the rain/weather usually is around early June.
Would love recommendations based on weather, pacing, and what feels most worth it for a first Taiwan trip.
