Hotels near Taitung Airport - TTT, Taitung City

Taitung is the hidden gem of Taiwan. The city is a great place to explore the surrounding areas. My favorite place in Taitung is Tiehua village. During the week, visit in the evenings to browse the shops in the big shipping containers and stroll along the lanterns. If there during the weekend, don't miss the "Bazaar" that features vendors and live music and snacks. Other lovely places in Taitung: Forest Park, Seaside Park, the Sunday night Night Market on SiWei Road, the Prehistory museum, LuYe Mountain, and the four-story stationery store on ZhongHua Rd. If you have transportation to get out of the city, visit the beaches in Taimali or in Dulan, the hotsprings in Zhiben, or get up to the beautiful SanXianTai bridge park. Don't miss out on eating local produce, especially sugar apples, passionfruit, and mangoes.

Taitung is beautiful and filled with many interesting places to explore and relax in. The beach is amazing, although the days I was there I couldn't fully enjoy the beach as there was a storm surge from an approaching typhoon, but nevertheless, it was beautiful. The surrounding hills are perfect for hiking, the food is great, and the people are amazing. I loved it there.

Small city. Train station is not downtown. From train station possibility to take bus to downtown approximately 20 minutes drive to bus station. Frequent busses. City is only worth stopping if you plan a trip to the 2 islands nearby.

Unfortunately we visited off season and it seems that most things are shut so we found it a bit depressing. If we returned it would be later in the year when we could visit the off shore islands. We also had wet weather but discovered the National Prehistory Museum which is a taxi ride outside the city but one of the best museums we have visited. It was so good we went twice because we did not have enough time to see everything on our first visit. It is also a very good museum for children. Cycling all round on the cycle trails for the day was an excellent activity and there was plenty to see.
