One of my favorite and definitely one of the most unique things to do in Kaohsiung is visiting the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas. It’s an amazing set of pagodas with a giant dragon on one side and a tiger on the other. For good luck, you’re supposed to enter through the dragon’s mouth and exit…
One of my highlights during my visit to Kaohsiung in Taiwan was definitely checking out Sunfong Temple. Sunfong Temple (also called Sanfeng Temple) is actually one of the most impressive and beautiful temples I’ve seen in Taiwan. It’s a Taoist temple originally built in the early 1600s (so it’s got some real history), and it’s…
Kaohsiung was one of the last stops on my Taiwan trip, and it felt super different from Taipei City and Tainan, which I visited first. To me, Kaohsiung felt way more modern, artsy, and a bit edgy and honestly, some parts even reminded me of Melbourne (and I mean that in a good way). When…
Noosa was hands down one of my favorite stops on our Sunshine Coast itinerary. I could’ve happily stayed way longer, it’s that magical mix of stunning nature, a bit of bougie beach-town living, and just the right amount of things to do. You’ve got the iconic must-dos, like the Coastal Walk and Hastings Street, but…
Kaohsiung is usually the southernmost stop for most people exploring Taiwan, and that was exactly the case for me. It was actually my last stop before heading back up north. I’d rank Kaohsiung as my number three favorite city in Taiwan, right behind Taipei and Tainan. The city has a super chill vibe, lots of…
Kaohsiung is definitely one of the lesser-visited cities in Taiwan, at least from what I’ve seen. Compared to Taipei, it just doesn’t get as much attention, probably because it’s way down south and a bit further out of the way. But honestly, I think Kaohsiung is super underrated and totally deserves a spot on your…
Tainan, the former capital of Taiwan, is easily one of my favorite places in the country. I spent about four days here, wandering through all the amazing food streets, night markets, temples, and more and honestly, I loved it. In this guide, I’ve put together a list of my favorite activities in Tainan. From beautiful…
Tainan easily lands in my top two cities in Taiwan, coming in right behind Taipei. The city just has so much character, it’s the former capital of Taiwan, and you can really feel that history when you wander around. There are old buildings, tiny alleyways, and of course, loads of incredible food. If you’re planning…
Tainan City easily ranks as my second favorite city in Taiwan, right behind Taipei. It’s just such a different atmosphere here, way more traditional, full of culture, temples, old architecture, and some of the best food in the country. It feels less modern and a bit more rough around the edges, which I think is…
When I visited Noosa, I only had two days, which is definitely not enough time to eat my way through all the spots I had bookmarked. So I had to be picky. I spent way too long reading reviews, checking menus, and narrowing it down to a shortlist that I was very excited about. Now,…
