Exploring hidden gems in Taoyu

Exploring hidden gems in Taoyuan and Qujing was a major highlight of my trip 😎🌍 Prepare for jaw-dropping natural scenery, surprisingly tasty street eats, and plenty of photo-worthy moments!

Top Spots to Visit

Taoyuan:
- Daxi Old Street (No. 112, Heping Rd, Daxi District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan, 8am–6pm): Cobbled lanes lined with baroque façades and snack stalls. Try the peanut mochi!
- Shimen Reservoir (No. 1, Section 1, Dazhu Road, Longtan District, Taoyuan City): Tranquil lake views and perfect for a cycling break.
- Window on China Theme Park (No. 891, Section 1, Huanhu Road, Longtan District, Taoyuan City, 9am–5pm): Quirky miniature landmarks—great for families or playful adulting!

Qujing:
- Jiulong Waterfalls (Xiong’er Town, Luoping County, Qujing): Epic 10-tiered falls with stunning photo ops—bring comfy shoes for a short hike.
- Luoping Canola Flower Fields (Luoping County, Qujing, best in February–March): Jaw-dropping golden sea of blooms. Insta-worthy and totally worth timing your visit!
- Qilin Park (Qilin District, Qujing, 6am–10pm): Classic Chinese landscaping and a relaxed vibe for evening strolls.

Foodie Tip 🍜: Taiwan’s food is out-of-this-world! Don’t skip soup dumplings, bubble milk tea, and classic street snacks in Taoyuan’s markets. In Qujing, local Yunnan noodles are a must.

Getting Around:
Public buses link most major attractions, but taxis or local ride apps are hassle-free for longer day trips.

Travel Hacks:
Carry some cash, especially for street vendors.
Weather-wise: Both cities are best explored in spring or early fall—pack a light rain jacket just in case!
