7 Days in Taiwan: Exploring Taipei and Kaohsiung's Top Attractions

Welcome to Roaming with Hammo!
I'm super excited to take you on a journey through Taiwan on this episode. Over the next seven days, I'll be exploring the vibrant cities of Taipei and Kaohsiung, discovering their top attractions.
From the iconic Taipei 101 and the spiritual Longshan Temple to the bustling Shilin Night Market and the busy Ximending, Taipei has so much to offer. Then, we'll head south to Kaohsiung, where we'll visit the stunning Dragon and Tiger Pagodas, Lotus Pond, and the Pier 2 Project.
Our seven-day trip was magical. We checked out awesome night markets to try the famous street food of Taiwan. This episode includes a lot of coffee, temples, memorials, lakes, and views. I have all the bases covered in this one.
We even managed to get into a favourite Japanese haunt for lunch one day; thanks, Coco! The bullet train was a dream to ride on as we took the journey south, and this is an experience you should take once you are there. Who doesn't want to travel at 300km per hour?
This video has some great hostel options if you want a cheaper option in both cities. I even chuck in a few Western brunch places to keep the vultures at bay.
Whether you're planning your own trip to Taiwan or just love travel adventures, this guide has something for everyone. So, sit back, relax, and join me as we explore the best of Taiwan!
Let's go on a journey!
