Top 10 National Parks and Nature Areas in Taiwan in 2026

Taiwan's national parks range from the marble gorges and cliffside trails of Taroko to Yushan, home to Northeast Asia's highest peak, and Yangmingshan's volcanic hot springs just outside Taipei. Coastal and marine reserves add tropical coastline at Kenting, mangrove wetlands sheltering black-faced spoonbills at Taijiang, and coral reefs off South Penghu, while Alishan's ancient cypress forests and heritage railway, plus the sea-carved cliffs of the Northeast Coast, round out the list.
