I spent 2 weeks solo backpacking all the way around Taiwan.
Starting in Taipei, I visited the old villages of Juifen and Shifen; then made my way south and cycled round Sun Moon Lake; hiked through the beautiful forests of Alishan; explored the beautiful street art of Kaohsuing; went snorkelling in Kenting; and then on the east coast I hiked the Walami Trail from the town of Yuli.
