Taitung
Hot Air Balloons & Slow Life

Taitung Travel Guide

A laid-back green highland on the east coast

A slow-life city on Taiwan's east coast, tucked into a narrow valley between the Pacific and the Central Mountain Range. Best known for its summer hot-air-balloon festival on Luye Highland, it's also a great base for indigenous culture and easygoing coastal drives.
