Taiwan is a stunning island nation that is smacked right between the countries of Japan and the Philippines.

In fact, as someone who has grown up in the islands of Batanes (the northernmost place in the Philippines), Taiwan has since been a destination that I’ve wanted to visit.

After all, we are actually closer to its borders so our radios would often pick up their stations; not to mention that our dialect (Ivatan) is even linguistically similar to the Taiwanese aborigine languages — that being said, these were enough reasons to pique my curiosity of Taiwan.

Often overlooked by the general masses flocking to Asia, this stunning island on the fringe of South East Asia is home to some of the most glorious sites anywhere on the continent.

The pristine lakes, exciting mountain ranges and dramatic coastlines of Taiwan should be the highlight of any trip to Asia. From my visit here are my favourite most scenic places to visit in Taiwan…

1. Taipei – a striking modern metropolis with colonial lanes, busy shopping streets and contemporary buildings.
2. Sun Moon Lake – a stunning lake set in the foothills of Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range.
3. Tainan – an ancient city known for its centuries-old fortresses & temples
4. The Penghu National Scenic Area – clear seawater, pure beaches, beautiful skies and striking cliffs
5. Beitou Hot Springs – the best relaxation spot in Taipei.
