Ren'ai仁愛
Spend 1–2 days for mountain scenery and indigenous culture; stay one night in a lodge or guesthouse.
Ren'ai is a large, mountainous township in Nantou County, home to Seediq, Atayal and Bunun peoples. Its attractions are spread over rugged terrain, so a short stay with a base near Qingjing or Hehuan works best.

Rules in force · 5
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- Taiwan ↗Check visa-exemption length, passport validity and the online arrival card (TWAC) on the official sites before you fly.
- Taiwan ↗An EasyCard (or iPASS) covers MRT, buses, local trains and many convenience-store purchases; buy one at the airport or a station.
- Taiwan ↗When a local government declares a typhoon day, transport and sights can close for the day; follow the official notice, not the forecast alone.
