Taiwan Spiritual Journey: Beautiful Scenery and Hot Springs in Kaohsiung, Kenting and Sun Moon Lake
After a recent trip to Taiwan, I decided to try booking flights and renting a car on Trip.com and found the whole process very convenient!
First, I booked my flight from Hong Kong to Kaohsiung on Trip.com, which was simple to operate, transparent prices, and instant confirmation emails. After landing, I stayed in Kaohsiung for three days and three nights, wandering around and feeling the unique charm of the city.
In Kaohsiung, I visited many famous attractions, including the Bok-2 Art Zone, where I admired a range of cultural and creative installations and street art, and to Lotus Pond, the lakeside views are very beautiful and still worth a visit.
One of the meals I went to Taiwan's very famous Ding Tai Fung, it was my first time in Taiwan to try, ordered small steamed buns and other dim sum, thin skin and beautiful filling, as expected, really delicious and worth eating again.
At night, of course, there is no shortage of Liuhe Sightseeing Night Market and Ruifeng Night Market. Both night markets have their own characteristics. Ruifeng Night Market is larger, more crowded, and has a wide range of food choices. It is simply a food paradise.
We also went to Kaohsiung Lighthouse to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The view is vast and refreshing. During the trip, I also took a car to Kenting and visited the beautiful Longpan Park, the sea and sky are the same color, super relaxing!
After that, I took the high-speed train from Kaohsiung to Taichung, rented a car through Trip.com, and chose the full insurance plan to drive to Sun Moon Lake for a more peace of mind. Although it was a cloudy day, the temperature was cool and there was haze surrounding the lake, which was quiet and beautiful.
The itinerary included the Wenwu Temple, the Xiangshan Visitor Center, and the Xuanzang Temple, however we didn’t stay too long because of the tight schedule, and we drove back to Taichung when we were done.
Finally, we stayed at a hot spring hotel in Uri City near Taichung for a night and enjoyed a quiet night soaking in the hot springs.
The entire trip, from booking tickets to renting a car, was handled by Trip.com. If I go again next time, I will definitely use Trip.com again!
