In addition to the sites mentioned by others, I would recommend Taroko Gorge near Hualien. With the highspeed rail, travel is fast and easy.
I agree, and I live in Japan. I think at this age Taiwan will be more comfortable, and easier to get around, basically cheaper at lease comparing with current yen rate, it may look
different in AUD terms.
I think Taiwan is a very underrated gem with great food, people, infrastructure , weather, etc etc etc
