This thoughtfully curated 3-day journey takes you deep into Chiayi, a city where Taiwan’s cultural roots, spiritual heritage, and scenic wonders converge. Begin with a visit to the historic Chiayi Prison Museum—a rare example of early 20th-century prison architecture—followed by local temple traditions and the lively energy of the city’s famous night market. On day two, escape into the highlands of Alishan, where towering forests, traditional mountain-grown tea, and scenic trails offer a refreshing contrast to urban life. Experience both nature and culture through the quiet beauty of the forest and a guided tea tasting rooted in Taiwan’s high mountain heritage. Wrap up your journey with a slow, artful final day in Chiayi. Visit the Chiayi Art Museum—housed in a former police dormitory—and explore the Taiwan Tile Museum, which showcases ornate vintage tiles once embedded into rooftops to signal family prosperity and social standing. Through these cultural landmarks, Chiayi reveals its unique blend of historical depth, design sensibility, and quiet pride. Every stop on this journey offers a new way to connect—with nature, with history, and with the stories Chiayi quietly tells.
