台東 Taitung ..... ......... Thank you 謝謝 @j_h_ye for the share ......... ....... The sprawling, coastal town of Taitung (台東; Táidōng) has a modest charm that does not shout from the rooftops but rather unravels itself over a stay of several days. The ocean, mountains, temples, cultural diversity and a strong indigenous presence together bestow a special atmosphere. Taitung’s streets smell of the sea and incense; the pace of life is slower. This chilled vibe has attracted a number of Taiwan’s bohemian set, who have settled here to open cafes. There’s always something to do, whether an indigenous pop concert or the annual calendar highlight: the Bombing Master Handan festival held around Lunar New Year. And if that’s not enough, Taitung is the starting point for countywide attractions, including whale watching, hot springs and surfing #travel #adventure #surfing #ocean #sea #backpacking #island #Taiwan #taitung #beach #explore #Philippines #Thailand #malaysia #Indonesia #Singapore #hongkong #exploretaiwan #discovertaiwan #vscotaiwan #iseetaiwan
