Traveling to/in Taidong, Hualian, or Yilan
~ ~ References and Resources for people traveling to/in the eastern counties ~ ~
The population of Taidong (Taitung), Hualian (Hualien), and Yilan (Ilan, Gilan) taken together is only about 5% of the population of Taiwan, and since there aren’t many foreigners living and working here, either, there isn’t much information about this area on Forumosa. Also, whatever information has been posted at one time or another is hard to find since it is scattered through various threads (topics), some of which go back a few years. I started this thread as a list of local links to get all of that information on “one page”, but it has grown to include relevant information from other websites, hearsay, newspapers, and personal experience, as well. Do you happen to know anything about the eastern counties that you think might be useful for people traveling there? Please feel free to add it or, if you prefer that i add it to an already existing entry, please send it to me via a PM.
:thanks:
