Exploring Taiwan's Hidden Gems: Sun Moon Lake & Alishan Adventure

In this thrilling episode of Backpacking Bananas, our intrepid explorers venture into the heart of Taiwan with the goal of uncovering hidden gems beyond the beaten path. Joined by trusty companions Ellie and Sabina, they embark on a whirlwind road trip across the picturesque landscapes of this vibrant country. From the mystical Cien Pagoda overlooking Sun Moon Lake to the enchanting Sun Song Waterfall, each destination offers a glimpse into Taiwan's rich tapestry of culture and natural beauty.

Fuelled by a sense of adventure and a hearty appetite, the team dives headfirst into the local cuisine, savoring dishes like one-ton noodle soup and braised pork rice at bustling eateries. As they navigate the waters of Sunmoon Lake in a rented boat and explore the quaint charm of Lu Island, it becomes clear that Taiwan has much more to offer than meets the eye. The journey continues through Alishan's ancient forests, where cherry blossoms bloom and giant trees stand as silent sentinels of time.

Amidst the tranquil beauty of Alishan, the team encounters the whimsical Owl Workshop and indulges in a cup of pricey coffee with a view to match. Despite facing challenges like a malfunctioning hot water system in their hotel, the allure of Taiwan's natural wonders proves irresistible. In the bustling city of Caoiang, they marvel at the Tiger and Dragon Pagoda and find solace in the contemplative atmosphere of the lotus pond. With each new discovery, Backpacking Bananas showcases the thrill of exploration and the enduring allure of travel off the beaten path.
