Vietrantour's Taipei - Kaohsiung - Taichung tour will allow travelers to freely admire the panoramic city views from the Taipei 101 tower. The Taipei 101 tower received the 2004 Emporis Skyscraper Award and was listed by Discovery Channel as one of the seven wonders of architecture. With 101 floors and 61 elevators, it was chosen by Newsweek magazine as one of the seven new wonders of the world and by Discovery Channel as one of the seven wonders of construction. At 508 meters (1,667 feet) tall, it currently holds the second position among the world's tallest buildings and the Guinness World Record for the fastest passenger elevator.
Yehliu Geopark is a fascinating place where visitors can admire nature's sculptures in vivid detail. Yehliu Beach is famous for its uniquely shaped rocks surrounding the peninsula.
The National Palace Museum is recognized as one of the four largest museums in the world, housing 5,000 years of Chinese history. It contains over 600,000 collected artifacts and masterpieces of Chinese art.
The next destination in Taipei is the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, which opened in 1980, five years after his death. The memorial's architecture incorporates three main colors: white, blue, and red—the colors of the Chinese flag during Chiang Kai-shek's time. The four walls of the memorial are white. The 76-foot-high roof is covered with blue tiles. The flowers in the garden surrounding the memorial are red.
From downtown Taichung, a two-hour drive southeast will take you to Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County. This is Taiwan's largest freshwater lake, covering approximately 900 hectares. The lake's emerald green water is already beautiful, but it becomes even more stunning at sunrise and sunset. There are also many other interesting attractions surrounding the lake.
In Taichung, visitors can visit the Wenwu Temple. This temple, dedicated to Confucius (Wen Temple) and Guan Yu (Wu Temple), is located on the northern shore of Sun Moon Lake. Its architecture resembles that of temples in northern China, grand and impressive. The temple is beautifully decorated in the traditional gold and red colors of ancient Chinese palaces.
From Taichung, travelers can visit the large city of Kaohsiung. Visit Fo Guang Shan, a vast complex spanning an entire hillside. Admire the world's tallest golden statue of Amitabha Buddha, reaching 108 meters in height, and the grounds featuring over 480 Buddha statues. In addition, with over 20 majestic halls, pavilions, and pathways, Fo Guang Shan is home to more than 1,000 monks, nuns, and numerous Buddhist followers. Particularly noteworthy is the opportunity to admire the 100,000 copies of the Heart Sutra, hand-copied by hundreds of people – a precious treasure and a core memento of the Buddha's teachings.
