Hello, Maybe not 2 days in Taitung, 1 day will do. You can fly in from Kaohsiung and depart from Taoyuan. Can consider going to Green Island and stay for 1 night. Itinerary Kaohsiung - Taitung - Green Island - Hualien - Yilan - Taipei. Easier to travel if you engage a driver for your trip. Recommending Best of Taiwan Tour, fb.me/bestoftaiwantour if you need one.

Might be booking 2 car or hiring 2 car. As i got drive in taiwan before.

Suggest you to book a bus instead.
May be better.
So that can save the two guys from driving.
Driving results in fatigue.
So pity the two who may need to drive.

I love to drive between taitung and hualien.
One can be by the seaside, the other by the rift valley.

I'm also wanting to explore Taichung and Naotou. Experts please help to advise what are the attractions there. Thanks.

cycled from Hualien to Taitung before, and also cycled around Taitung a bit before catching train back to Taipei.
Very laid back city. Feels like outer suburbs of Johor Baru :)

The coastline between Chenggong and Taitung was quite beautiful, but not really more so than Hualien region :s7:

My suggestion is to skip Taitung if you're pressed for time.
Your group looks quite large. Some may complain "boring la, nothing to see la"...

Worse, nothing to shop for.

Only 2 days in Taitung is s bit short.

This place had no factories and the scenery is very nice. Traveling along the Pacific often sea coastal area is very memorable for me.

Places like Chi Shang, Lu Ye, San xian Tai is a must visit. It's very different experience as compared to Taipei as it's a very laid back County.

Going 2 nights taitung and 1 night green island. First night arrive taitung around 4pm, probably just roam around the city area, any must see or must eat around there?

The next free day in taitung hired a driver for 10 hours tour. Told him our main aim to go Mr brown avenue and sanxiantai. The rest plan and see on the actual day. I saw there's a 活水湖,worth going?

4pm ah, maybe take a rest then visit their night market.

活水湖 is located in one of the park just beside the Pacific ocean. The last time when I was there, they used it for a debunking competition. Quite a huge lake , slightly bigger than a Olympic pool I think. We rented bicycles and cycle around the park. Pretty nice scenery. Oh, got the national geographic frame for photo taking. Enjoy!

When you going?
