Introducing Taitung
There aren’t a lot of reasons for the short-term visitor to make a long stop in Taitung (Táidōng) city itself. Taitung’s charms reveal themselves slowly as you get to know the locals, discover the treasures in the surrounding hills and coastline, and learn how to move with, not against, the rhythms of southern life. But if you don’t have time for that, we suggest either giving the place a complete miss (there are other places nearby to use as a base) or just spend some time in transit.
