I’m looking for any recommendations for Taiwan for an active vacation. The mountains look amazing for trekking, running and cycling. I really like photography, vegan food and meeting new people! Are there any “must visit” recommendations? How long did you stay and did you feel it was enough? I have 3 weeks, Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taroko Gorge, Jiufen are a few places I’m hoping to visit

where you want to start

Taroko Gorge is awesome but the roads are closed at times due to earthquake damage so should check before making the day trip.

Go to Shilin Night Market and Raohe Nightmarket. Raohe has best pork buns

I was thinking about going to Hualien first but undecided if it’s best to stay in Taipei and start with day trips

Yangmingshan is a good area for some trekking. Beautiful landscapes and lots or routes to choose from. Also not far from Taipei!
