Embark on an unforgettable rail adventure across Taiwan, where modern cities, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural heritage come together in perfect harmony. This adventure, fully escorted by an Australian Tour Leader begins and ends in Taipei, the dynamic capital where modernity meets tradition. You’ll travel on everything from the Metro and Light Rail to high-speed trains to the dinky little Wulai Log Cart, part of a former Japanese built Pushcart network, and ride the Z-shaped switchbacks, 50 tunnels and 77 wooden bridges of the magical Alishan Forest Railway. Along the way, you’ll enjoy most meals included, premium accommodation, separate luggage transport on all the train legs, some of the best museums and historic rail trails in the world, the company and insights of your Australian tour leader and an expert local guide.
