Forests · Art Museums · Landmarks
A rugged landscape scattered with villages and vast plains of untouched nature, Chiayi County stretches between sea and mountains on the southwestern coast. The county benefits from a biodiverse environment due to its position on the Tropic of Cancer path, and hosts three of the country's major national parks and two cities divided into dozens of village regions. Here, outdoor lovers will have plenty of opportunity to get out into nature and absorb the everyday culture of rural life in Taiwan. Mountain hiking trails, forest to mountain train rides, and visiting the local fishermen's wharf should top your Chiayi itinerary.
