The author of this article - Xiao Xiong Mama, is the editor-in-chief of a famous car review website. She usually loves to take her children around her. She went to Taiwan three times in two years. This year's National Day trip is still this charming place. But unlike in the past, they chose to drive by themselves this time and gained a lot of laughter and beautiful scenery along the way. I hope to share it with you through this article.
Taiwan is a very popular tourist destination nowadays. You may meet your acquaintances in any night market or hotel. During the National Day holiday, I went to Taiwan with my family and friends for a self-driving trip. During the same period of this trip, several friends also met at the Ziqiang Night Market in Hualien. When we returned from Taiwan, we shared our trip, and we would also add where and what I would go next time I went to Taiwan.
I have been to Taiwan three times in two years. Looking back, Taipei is far less modern and prosperous than the first-tier cities in China; Hualien City and Taitung City, which are not economically developed, look like larger towns in Guangdong; even if the scenery of Taroko and Hehuan Mountain is magnificent, they cannot compare with our Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, after visiting Taiwan, I always feel that there is an attractive place, which makes people smile and can't wait to revisit the old place. Where does this attraction come from?
My own feelings are exaggerated. When traveling to Taiwan, the negative energy on your body will automatically decrease, and the positive energy will continue to "recharge".
Self-driving trips that "take advantage" everywhere
Although there is no toll station in Taiwan, Taiwan Expressway still has to be charged. The on-board chip records our walking roads. We passed Taipei, Yilan, Hualien, Taitung, and arrived at Pingtung Kenting at the southern end, then turned north to Kaohsiung, and returned the car next to Zuoying High-speed Railway Station in Kaohsiung. After going around Taiwan for more than half a circle, how much did it cost to travel? The computer record is NT$147, equivalent to RMB 30 (1 RMB = NT$4.9720, everyone below will calculate it themselves). However, we only paid NT$130 in the end. The guy who picked up the car said that we added more than one-quarter of the fuel and added a lot, so we waived NT$17 for travel and also waived our NT$1,500 off-site car return service fee! This is the so-called fair trade.
I have to admit that at this time, I felt that I had taken advantage of it, which made me, the teacher, happy. For example, the famous Taroko Park does not charge any tickets, so I will talk about it all the way. You should know that Taroko concentrates the magnificent landscape of Taiwan's Central Mountains, covering three administrative regions: Hualien County, Taichung County and Nantou County. The entire scenic area has a complete range of observation decks, parking lots, hiking trails, geological exhibition halls, bathrooms and other facilities, which are not only free, but also well-managed.
After a self-driving trip, we only paid four tickets. The most expensive one was the Marine Biology Museum in Kenting. The tickets for four large and one small are NT$2,050 (children who are not over 6 years old are free), and the second expensive one is Chulu Ranch in Taitung. The four large and two small spend NT$530, and everyone can likewise. The parking lots along the way are basically free, and the parking fee for large attractions is around NT$45 at a time, and after 4:30 pm, some parking lots are free to be released.
The so-called scenic spots serve the public, and public resources should be free or only small fees are charged, and this is the case.
The most beautiful self-driving ring line in Taiwan
Back to Taroko, the first Zhongheng Highway running through the east and west of Taiwan began from this. This highway alone is very interesting. According to the information, many sections of this road were made of a wall dug by the abyss, and the tunnels and culverts are connected, and the nine-curved intestines are also located in an active geological zone, and they are often troubled by landslides and rockfalls. It is indeed no exaggeration. One of the large landslide sections was cleaned when I came last year on November 1st. I came back this year and I am still cleaning it. The important attraction next to the road, Jiuqudong Trail is still under closed maintenance.Through the Zhongheng Highway, you can go straight from the Qixingtan where the waves are rolling in Hualien to the top of Hehuan Mountain with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters in height within half a day, and see the steep central mountains. At this time, you are still wearing short-sleeved shirts at the foot of the mountain. The steep beauty of the road is still mentioned above. The must-pass road from Taipei to Hualien, , Suhua Highway . This road is known as the most beautiful landscape road in Taiwan and the "death road" that collapses whenever heavy rains. It is 118 kilometers long and is built on the coastline. It has a wonderful scenery. The famous Qingshui Cliff is on this road. I often call this attraction a clear cliff, and I think it is very appropriate whether it is a clear cliff or a clear cliff. When you are in the scene, you will understand its meaning. In short, Taiwan Island, which is squeezed by the Eurasian continental plate, Okinawa plate and the Philippine sea plate, is surrounded by scenery intertwined by mountains and coasts. The so-called scenery on the road is this .
You need to look at the sea and the mountains. Michelin Taiwan self-guided tour will recommend you to take a ring line for three or four days, that is, from Hualien to Taitung to take 11 line , and from Taitung to Hualien to go to 9 9 . The road conditions are much better than Suhua Highway when you walk along the coast from Hualien. On the left is the surging Pacific Ocean, and on the right is the majestic coastal mountains; the strange landforms of Shitiping, Sanxiantai, Ono Liu and other attractions are scattered in it; the bustling town of Chenggong is the origin of sailfish, and delicious seafood cannot be missed. After passing by the sailfish pine, there is no such store. After arriving in Taitung, don’t forget that there are also pure Green Island and Lanyu. Line 9 and Line 11 are parallel, passing through the Huadong Long Valley between the Central Mountains and the Coastal Mountains. The background is still majestic mountain range, but the ocean retreats, and it has changed to the pastoral scenery filled with rice fragrance.
Harvest beautiful scenery and food all the way
You can go to Chulu Ranch to taste the fresh milk that has just left the factory; before the fog in the afternoon, climb up to the sixty stone pings belonging to the coastal mountains, visit the last golden needle flower in the mountains, look down at the open Huadong Mountain Valley, and look at the fog in the central mountain range; you can also drift along Xiuguluan Creek in Ruisui; and wash away the fatigue along the way in Antong Hot Spring. On the 9th line of Taiwan, each town has its own specialties. In October, Sakyamuni was the right time to buy one in Guangzhou for NT$200 and 8 in Taitung; the 60-stone ping of golden needles brings fried and still sweet; if you don’t feel tired, you can carry 5 pounds and 10 pounds of rice in the pond... How should I walk if I can’t look back? First, we went from Line 11 to Chenggong Town halfway, then crossed the coastal mountains to Highway 9, and continued south to Taitung. This is the so-called most greedy trip.
also make a contribution to achieving the most greedy trip. In Taiwan, everything I want to find, as small as an observation deck, a B&B with only a few rooms, or a small restaurant, can be searched with GPS. If you do not rent a GPS, just buy a mobile phone with unlimited traffic to access the Internet card. Google Maps has the same effect and the cost is not high. In addition to entering the address and store name for searching the destination, you can also enter the phone directly, which is very convenient. This is the so-called foolish self-driving tour.
How to play happily in Kenting in Golden Week
cough cough, there is still a time to complain. I haven't found out whether Kenting, the well-known Kenting, I haven't mentioned it yet. Only in this place did I feel the atmosphere of the National Day Golden Week.
Traffic jam, is there any? During the Golden Week and weekend, Hengchun also had traffic jams, but no one honked the horn and no one interspersed around the traffic jams here.
Sights can see people but not scenery, is there any? This is the case with the Maobitou Observation Deck, "This viewing point is really boring." On the night after going, the homestay owner said while chatting. Why didn't you say it earlier!
The beach is crowded, is there any? However, there is no garbage on the beach, and everyone takes up a small area and does not interfere with each other's entertainment.
Is it possible to be slaughtered after eating seafood? When you go to a seafood store, you just need to order rare seafood recommended by the clerk. Then you are just taking it yourself, and I am.
The clerk ignores it, is there any? If other people's business is so popular, how can they have the ability to treat you politely and diligently?
So, can you still have fun playing in Kenting in Eleven? It's OK.
First, avoid weekends;
Second, actively chat with the owner of the homestay, eliminate boring attractions, and inform the beach of few people;
Third, get up early and bring a telescope. Only in these few days, you can see eagles coming from afar, take the wind to set sail and fly to the distant Philippines; walk away and go to the Longqing Observation Platform. The coast is magnificent, feel the wind blowing people, and there is no crowd here.
