Ten reasons to miss a flight on purpose

Original Yomu ten. Night markets appear once, on purpose.

1. Taipei as a base, not a trophy tower. Taiwan guide.
2. One night market near the pillow. Plus one famous one if you must.
3. Jiufen / the northeast cluster — or skip it if rain and tour buses own the day.
4. Beitou + Yangmingshan when you want steam and grass more than lanterns.
5. Tainan for food that has grandparents. Overnight if you can. The trains make it easy to underestimate.
6. Kaohsiung if you like harbor cities that do not apologize for being themselves.
7. Taroko or the east coast when nature is the point. Check road and weather notices the week you go.
8. Sun Moon Lake only if you want a lake day, not because a list said “must.”
9. A tea mountain or Pingxi line village if you like small trains more than malls.
10. The 7-Eleven breakfast as a legitimate spiritual practice. Egg, coffee, dignity.

The best Taiwan souvenir is a slightly expanded stomach and a stored EasyCard you refuse to throw away.
