Day by day
The plan
A compact day in Taiwan’s old capital: Chihkan Tower, Shennong Street, Anping’s lanes and a night-market dinner.
The old capital at walking pace. This route is designed as a flexible sketch: keep the fixed transport, move the rest around the weather and your energy.
Day 1
Old town to Anping
A walking day with a couple of short taxi hops. Start early: the old streets are at their best before the heat and the tour groups.
Breakfast: milkfish soup
Start with a bowl of clear milkfish soup and a plate of rice at a local breakfast shop.
