A detailed breakdown of my Taiwan itinerary, accommodation costs, and daily expenses across Taipei, Hualien, Kenting, Kaohsiung, Alishan, Sun Moon Lake, Taichung, and Taoyuan. Includes insights on payment methods, transportation, and budget expectations for a multi-city trip across Taiwan.

Cijin Island blends history, culture, and natural beauty. Walk the old streets, sample fresh seafood, visit Cihou Fort and Kaohsiung Lighthouse, and enjoy scenic coastal views—all just a short ferry ride from Kaohsiung.

Chengcing Lake offers peaceful lakeside walks, scenic landmarks like the Nine-Curved Bridge and Zhongxing Pagoda, and beautiful seasonal views. A calm retreat from the city, it’s ideal for hiking, photography, and exploring Kaohsiung’s history and culture.
