Begin your scenic and cultural Taiwan tour with convenient pickup from your hotel and head to the northeast coast of the island for a beautiful drive along the sea. You can't help but be awed by the rock formations of Nanya Rock. You'll also enjoy the sights of Pitou Cape Park, and visit the old gold mining town of Chiufen Village. Tour the coast with your guide and discover the natural beauty of Taiwan the way every traveller should.

Visit first Pitou Cape, one of the "Three Capes of North Taiwan." Admire the sprawling ocean, sea cliffs, undercut bluffs, and platforms of mushroom and honeycomb shaped rock. See firsthand the incredible effects of weathering and erosion and further appreciate the awesome ability and power of nature to mold Taiwan's landscape. Continue your day trip from Taipei and tour the natural landscape of Taiwan's northern coast at the site of the Nanya Rock formations. These sculpted rock formations are a masterpiece of nature and are unique to the countryside of Taiwan. The beautifully striped patterns on the stone are due to the oxidation of iron ore and can be seen in few other places in the world.

Journey up the hills of northeast Taiwan and experience the nation's authentic culture while on your visit to Chiufen Village. This former center of gold mining was once considered the gold city of Asia, which earned it the nicknames of Little Shanghai and Little Hong Kong in years past. Today what makes Chiufen Village exceptional is its charm and enduring tradition. Enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean below and uncover the variety of tea houses that populate the village. Witness the nearby Bay of Two Colors, a stunning yet peculiar sight, where minerals from nearby rock turn half of the bay into a golden yellow color. You'll also pass by the charming Chinkuashih Village. At the conclusion of your Chiufen Village tour, return comfortably to your hotel in Taipei.
