Xinle Village (新樂村) is a scenic, mountainous indigenous settlement in Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County. Located roughly 20-30 minutes past the Neiwan Old Street, it is celebrated for its lush nature, riverside campsites, aboriginal culture, and popular hiking trails like the Beidelaman Giant Tree Area.
Hi everyone,
At the end of November 2024, a group of us from the Czech Republic and Sweden rented a car and drove counterclockwise around Taiwan heading straight from Taoyuan Airport down south, and then back up along the east coast to the very top of the island.
Even after all this time, the whole team still remember how awesome Taiwan was. It is such an incredible travel destination, and we can't recommend it enough to anyone thinking about visiting.
As a photographer, I brought my camera along to document the entire 1,300 km journey, capturing everything from the massive cities and stunning temples to the rugged eastern coastlines. I really wanted to share these views with the community.
I’ve put together a visual portfolio of the trip, as well as a blog post detailing our route:

Hope you enjoy the photos!
Hello!
I’ll be traveling to Taiwan again soon and will be staying mostly in Taipei, with a couple of days in the south of the island.
I’m a photographer, and I’m looking for locations with a similar vibe to Hong Kong’s “Monster Building”, dense apartment complexes with lots of visible air conditioners, pipes, and an older grungy feel. (Or mabye for a better reference smth like this picture. this is in Taipei.)
I know Taiwan has this kind of atmosphere in many places, just on a smaller scale than Hong Kong.
But are there any neighborhoods or specific buildings you’d recommend?
Thanks in advance!
