Taiwan Travel for Groups (Highlighting Taipei, New Taipei, and Nantou)

As the eldest child, it feels like a natural duty to step into the role of the family trip planner and organizer. From booking flights to acting as the personal tour guide, I often find myself stressing out while everyone else is happily lounging around and soaking it all in. It can be frustrating at times, but honestly, the rewards far outweigh the annoyances. Seeing my family trust my decisions and follow my lead throughout the trip brings a profound sense of fulfillment. 

That’s why I always recommend destinations I’ve already explored. I want to ensure that the places we visit are easy for everyone to navigate, especially our elders. Fortunately, Taiwan fits the bill perfectly. Having been there before, I can confidently say it boasts excellent transportation and walkable streets. So, when it came time to plan our Christmas vacation, we all agreed it was the best choice!

You might be wondering why we picked Taipei, New Taipei, and Nantou. Here’s the scoop: 1) Taipei and New Taipei are brimming with must-see gems for first-timers, and 2) since we were visiting in winter, we couldn’t resist the chance to catch some snow in the beautiful mountains of Nantou!

So, without further ado, let’s dive into the planning process.

Where to stay

I highly recommend staying in Ximending area for a few reasons:

1. It’s easy to get to via bus and train from the airport.
