This is part of the fun Taiwan travel series. View the full itinerary here.
From CingJing, we opted to pre-book the E-go bus to Taipei.
For this trip we did not choose to go to Hualien after taking the travel time into consideration. (Hualien is actually worth a day in itself to visit, as it is home to the famous and gorgeous Taroko Gorge.)
For TWD 780, a comfortable bus ride is provided from Cingjing to Taipei. The journey takes approximately 5 hours and stops at Puli Brewery.
Taiwan produces beer and wine. Puli is famed for beer and rice wine production due to the great quality of spring water and crops.
