Taiwan's Scenic Heart: The Solo Traveler's Comprehensive Slow-Paced Guide

A chill trip for the not-so-young solo traveler! So this is not just for a first-time traveler in Taiwan , but if you are somewhere in Asia, and would like to explore outside your country without a visa, then this is it.  This geographically small country has always been underrated, and unpopular among the other countries in Asia.  However, it boasts a lot of natural tourist spots, from mountains to the sea, and its authentic culture. And  apart from its origin, it has a lot of places that are atypical.  Taipei 101 Taiwan is so accessible because it has a national train rail that takes you around the island.  It also has a central transportation hub in Taipei, where all public transport are available to take you to your destination anywhere in Taiwan.  It has two main cities with international airports- first is Taipei, which is located in the north of the island, and Kaohsiung in the south.  The two cities are only 1.5 to 2 hours away by commuting us...

Random Tips On Your Japan Trip

First time traveller in Japan? Here are things  I have learned and I wish I knew it before I went to Japan: Always keep left. Japan's car drives right hand and so goes with the traffic road, sidewalks and pedestrians. So stay left in the escalators and walk in the right if you want to go ahead. It's cheaper to ride a bus or train. Don't ride a taxi. There are always bus and train stations nearby. Check Japan's tranportation hub  for more details.   Always load your transportation card .  Else you will need to prepare the trips' fare in exact amount in cash. Drop it in the fare box.  They have change machine, but not all larger bills are accepted.  When riding the bus, you have to tap first or pay first.  Don't forget to tap again when you drop off the bus. Else the maximum fare will be deducted from your load. They have toilets at all stations and malls. All toilets have toilet paper and water. So no worries if you have to do number 1 or number 2....
