Discover Taiwan tours visiting Kaohsiung
From city temples to southern sights, Kaohsiung adds a bold, modern edge to Taiwan trips
Taiwan tours that visit Kaohsiung combine big-city energy with calmer cultural stops, so you can understand the island’s character in a short time. Many routes pair Kaohsiung with places like Taipei, Sun Moon Lake, and Tainan, which means each day tends to bring a mix of food, history, and scenery without feeling repetitive. Guided tours are a popular option here, thanks to set itineraries that simplify travel and help you cover the key sights with less day-to-day decision-making. Trips sit in the Far East region, and while some focus on comfortable hotel stays, others lean toward a more adventurous style of accommodation, so the overall feel can differ noticeably from trip to trip.

The visit to the Buddhist Monastery was also good as were the Buddhist Temples. Some of the rock formations we spent time looking at were very ordinary, particularly Cat Rock!
Taiwan Discovered - 8 daysCircle Taiwan in 8 days, uncovering its striking contrasts - Taipei’s buzzing backstreets, Tainan's colonial architecture, Sun Moon Lake’s calm waters, and the southern tropics of Kenting. Along the way, discover Hakka villages, mountain hot springs, coastal temples, and street food that tells a story. This is Taiwan beyond the postcard.Worldwide Touring8We were impressed with the high standard of accommodation at each place, especially Fleur de Chine Hotel at Sun Moon Lake and Grand Hi Lai Hotel at Kaohsiung. Touring each day was very busy and you don't get much time to see around the areas where we stayed. Maybe commencing by 8am each day. We were happy with the places we visited but would have liked more time to walk near the hotel areas to see something of the cities we visited

Highlights of Taiwan - 7 daysDiscover Taiwan’s diverse landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant cities on this 7-day adventure. From the dynamic capital of Taipei to the serene beauty of Sun Moon Lake, the historic charm of Tainan, and the tropical coastlines of Kenting, explore ancient temples, bustling night markets, dramatic coastal scenery, and tranquil hot springs. Worldwide Touring7The guide Peter was the best! He was very funny and had lots of stories and local knowledge. He handled the group of 33 very well. The hotels were overall very nice. There was too much time on the bus. We always arrived at the hotels after the pool or other facilities were closed for the evening. Since the hotels were so nice, it would have been enjoyable to have more time to relax. Maybe removing or shortening a few stops could be considered.
