Yes, east-coast is the most beautiful place on the island. You could visit the taroko national park: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUqYreF1ucA
And you could and should attend the course at the hunter school for survive skills in wild: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBpvbDw1gQQ And there are a lot of nature hot springs in the wild around the island: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BptaQ6UBd2U And you may want to hiking on the trails with the survive skills you learnt from the hunter school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43dEkW2qvOI&list=PLFHiboGdZSVmpSusr8ZnH7-PE3oF3S1UP And you may dive in the Lanyu Island (Orchid Island) where has 30-50m visibility under water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in031Nj29lg And there are festivals of Pangach tribals during that time. They are dancing like a Debian swirl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpYIJcTHZ-k And we could meet and drink together with the author of the song of Seediq Bale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvgRrOUeSCk Best regards, -Andrew 2018-06-17 15:22 GMT+08:00 Thomas Goirand <z...@debian.org>: > On 06/17/2018 05:39 AM, Louis-Philippe Véronneau wrote: > > Hi! > > > > My plane lands in Taiwan on July 8th and I'm planning to go around and > > enjoy Taiwan as much as possible before DebCamp starts. > > > > Does anyone have any recommendations of things I should do?
