What's the most interesting city to visit, outside Taipei?


Travel Info
I would especially be interested in viewing cultural sites.

Travel Tips
I will suggest Tainan. It is about 4-5 hours from Taipei by train or bus. It also has local domestic flight in 40min and US48 one way. Tainan is a ancient city built about 300 years ago. The historic spot there include multiple culture. Taiwan had been a colony by Netherlands and the main city was Tainan at that time. Tainan also has many different kinds of great triditional food. I think you will love Tainan. Source(s): http://www.tncg.gov.tw/kdefault.asp... and click the [tour], I am a local tour guide in Taiwan.

Other Travel Tips
My wife grew up in Taiwan and recommended Hualien. It's 3 or 4 hours from Taipei and does have some cultural sites (including from aboriginal culture), natural beauty, and good food. I haven't found any great sites that give good, comprehensive info, but check out the links below for info on Hualien as well as on some other Taiwanese destinations you might find interesting.

I agree with the other 2 answers... You can't really go wrong in Taiwan if you're looking for cultural sites... and/or food!

I'll throw another one in... because it is close to Taipei and easy to get to (and cheap).
Jiufen.
But I must add a caution... this little town is great... but has been overrun by the "tourism" trade in recent years. If you go on a weekday, you'll still catch this town's charm. DO NOT GO ON A WEEKEND. It is a great place to see some historical sites... chat with locals... drink some tea... just DO NOT GO ON A WEEKEND!
