Taiwan is known by many names but perhaps the most memorable one is Formosa. Now that sounds a bit odd, but it was in fact coined by Portuguese explorers in the 16th century. Ilha Formosa directly translates to “Beautiful Island” and they sure got it right.
This 12 day Taiwan itinerary (just short of two weeks) follows our journey around the entire island and is geared towards those that have the curiosity of a tiger and the adventurous courage of a dragon.
Now, I will say this is a trip that requires a bit of stamina to keep up, but for the limited time we were there, we’re so glad we were able to see and do all the things we did. That said, feel free to mix and match as you craft your own trip as I know many of you might be looking for a 1-week Taiwan trip.
