Discover more of rural Taiwan with a perfect one day itinerary around the eastern coastal city of Taitung. Either start your trip the evening before and take the night train down to Taitung from Taipei, or start your trip directly in Taitung in the morning. First up, you can choose the extra option of a magical hot air balloon ride over the Taitung countryside, following that is a dip in some local hot springs to work up an appetite for breakfast. Once breakfast is over, learn more about Taiwan at the National Museum of Prehistory and take a stop at the Terrace of the Three Immortals before finishing the trip with a visit to a local Amis aboriginal folk village where you'll learn more about the original inhabitants of Isla Formosa.
