I was just in Taiwan for about 10 days and this time went down to Sun Moon Lake and the central area before we went over to Lukang. I am hoping to have a TR up soon. You can see the TR I did from last year's trip though.

On my trips I have used the services of Neil Wade who is a pro photographer (among other things). He knows good places to go. What we have done is 3 day weekends with him driving. He's pretty laid back so it's like traveling with a friend. Depending on your budget that might be an option. Taipei is easy to get around on your own. On my first visit Neil met me the first day and showed me how to get around town and gave me lots of ideas of places to go on my own. And then he picked me up Friday morning for our weekend trip.
Taroko Gorge and Sun Moon Lake look great! Thanks for the recommendations. I think we are leaning pretty heavily on a stop in Taiwan since we can take EVA directly there from LAX. Do you think 4 days would be enough to see some of the major highlights of Taipei and also make a stop by Taroko Gorge and Sun Moon Lake? Also, any suggestions methods of transportation to these places?
Thank you!
