(7 Days – Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Taipei, Sun Moon Lake

A perfect combination for families of city and country, this private Taiwan tour features the best of Taipei and beautiful Sun Moon Lake.

Begin in Taipei, the fascinating capital of Taiwan. During flexible private touring with your own guide and driver, visit the renowned National Palace Museum, the repository of the imperial Chinese art collection, to see masterpieces of painting, porcelain, jade carving, calligraphy and other arts. Visit beautiful Longshan Temple and other Buddhist and Taoist temples that bustle with worshippers at all hours. At an atmospheric local tea house, sample Taiwan's acclaimed tea, such as delicate mountain-grown oolong. Walk through the historic port district and along backstreets where shops inside evocative, century-old buildings offer Taiwanese specialties. Stop by the landmark Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial to learn about one of the founding fathers of modern Taiwan. Venture up Taipei 101—among the tallest buildings in the world—for panoramic views over the city and mountains. Also enjoy time to browse for Taiwanese crafts, such as high-quality ceramics and glassware, or explore the shops at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. One evening, visit the renowned Shilin night market, a vast indoor-outdoor emporium of tiny shops and food stalls offering Taiwanese delicacies.

Continue by HSR (High-Speed Rail) train to Sun Moon Lake, a region of natural beauty and interesting cultural attractions. Stay at one of the best resorts in Taiwan with views of the lake and surrounding mountains. During flexible private touring in the region, enjoy options such as a private cruise on Sun Moon Lake, visits to local temples, a stop at a working tea plantation, a visit to a handmade paper factory and a tour of fascinating Chung Tai Chan Monastery, one of the most important religious sites in Taiwan. Other options include riding the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway over the mountains and visiting the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village.
