FAQ
What is the idea behind driving from the North Coast down to the east over four days?
Heading south, slowly. Sea breeze at Tamsui and Yehliu, hot springs in Jiaoxi, then the seas of rice and the Pacific in Hualien and Taitung. We do not pack in stops — the time is left for doing nothing.
When is the best time to soak in Jiaoxi?
Morning. The itinerary makes Jiaoxi an overnight stop, so you can take a morning soak without watching the clock and head south afterwards.
What does the charter fee include?
A private vehicle and local Taiwanese driver throughout, 10 hours of vehicle use per day, fuel, tolls and parking fees, plus the full protection of a licensed Class A travel agency. Accommodation, attraction tickets and activity fees, meals and personal expenses are not included (local restaurant recommendations are included, so you can dine as you like).
Can this route be shortened to three days?
Yes. Four days is the standard version — shorten it, extend it, or swap one leg for a different stretch of coast, and your travel consultant will rebuild it around the time you have.
