Tour The Wonderful Museum of National Prehistory Taitung, Taiwan
The Museum of National Prehistory is located in Taitung City and is a fabulous, do not miss, museum. Marine Steve and I have been known to speed through museums in less than 10 minutes but this was a keeper. There are two floors filled with information that even our pea-brains (which according to the museum have gotten smaller over the last 50,000 years) could find interesting.
There was a prehistory gallery, Taiwan in the Iron Age, how prehistory people lived, the Beinan culture, stone working, megaliths, human evolution. And all 14 aboriginal tribes along with audio visual, videos, movies. The Ring of Fire. Geology.
How about: the brain of a newborn human and newborn chimpanzee are the same size but a child's brain at age 5 is three times the size of a chimpanzee!
All exhibits are in Chinese and English, audio guides are available but completely unnecessary and there is a high class gift shop. What more could a visitor ask?

Travel in Taiwan (2018-11-12)
By Rick Charette
Just outside of Chishang town, on the cycling loop, is one of the rift valley’s most photographed roads, Bolang Dadao (“Mr Brown Avenue”), made famous in a Mr. Brown Coffee commercial and an EVA Air commercial starring Japanese-Taiwanese pop-idol heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro.
The loop also takes you around small Dapo Lake, directly east/southeast of the town. “Chishang” literally means “on the lake.” The tree-surrounded body of water is at the end of the suggested cycle route, and is a pleasant oasis at which to cool off after all your pedaling.
You have two options for getting right out onto the lake, renting a pedal boat or a raft. With the rafts, which have sun-protection roofs, you do your own paddling. You’re also provided with a long bamboo pole that will enable you to push the raft, gondolier-style, into the thick forest of lotus plants on the lake’s east side. Dapo Lake was long used for lotus and water chestnut cultivation.
Many Taiwanese swear that Chishang-area rice is Taiwan’s best, and around the island you’ll see signs above small eateries proclaiming Chishang Biandang. Biandang is the Mandarin Chinese rendering of the Japanese bento, or boxed lunch; the use of Chishang is a promise that Taiwan’s best rice has been used as your boxed-lunch bed. Two main reasons are given for Chishang’s rice quality: the pure, mineral-rich waters from the central mountains distributed by the local irrigation-channel system, and the region’s superior soil, created via silting from two young mountain systems that have sprung up “fresh from the sea,” in geological terms, on the east and west sides.
Near the aforementioned bike-rental operations is the iconic Chishang Riceball Museum, which is in fact a restaurant-cum-museum. The old blue-painted railway cars outside the large two-story wood-façade facility make finding this spot a cinch. The museum/restaurant interior is stuffed with old-time farm-country memorabilia.
Explanation for the passenger carriages parked out front: During Taiwan’s period of Japanese rule, Chishang rice was sent to the Japanese emperor as tribute. Building on this quality, Chishang bento/biandang were developed, which were sold from the local train-station platform to passengers on passing trains – a practice followed around the island. Chishang biandang is the specialty at Chishang Riceball Museum, and the carriages are “outdoor” dining spaces. Each biandang typically contains, at a minimum, a chicken leg (or pork cutlet or fish), a sausage, a soy-stewed egg and beancurd, pickled cabbage, and rice.
Explanation for “riceball” in the museum name: In days past, people would often bring what was called a “riceball” to work for lunch. This was rice, stuffed with such goodies as meat chunks and pickled vegetables, that was usually wrapped in a banana leaf.

My gourmand vote for best coffees in the rift valley goes to Chishang’s No. 9 Gourmet Coffee. The “9” comes from “Provincial Highway No. 9,” and the café is in the very first building as you enter Chishang from the north along said highway. The husband in the owner-duo is an interior designer, and he has let his creative juices flow in his pet project. Enter via a boardwalk over a mini-wetland pond into a quiet oasis of red-brick walls, exposed piping, coffee roasting/grinding machinery, and global-explorer decorations. The various coffees are artworks in themselves, and tasty food treats such as fresh-made waffles and pizza are on the menu. The rooftop-terrace seating gives you an invigorating valley panorama.

Train Trip Part 3 -- Kaohsiung - Taitung (火車之旅第三: 高雄-台東)
Third part of our recent railway trip from Taichung to Taitung and back. After visiting the art museum in Kaohsiung, we continued south, made a briefs stop at the Fangye Signal Station, went to Taimali Beach, and interviewed the friendly guys at the Xuanwu Temple in Taitung City.

Travel in Taiwan 2019-06-21
Down the Coast from Kaohsiung, Across the Mountains, and Up the Coast to Zhiben
South of Kaohsiung, as the train moved through more luxuriant farmland the central mountains and sparkling Taiwan Strait started to close in on one another. Not far south of Fangliao town, a Day 2 stop to be introduced later, they met. The train jumped from the plain to hug mountainside above the rocky coast. The panorama was striking, large Little Liuqiu island out in the strait, Kaohsiung’s skyscraper cluster looking like a miniature model-set to the north. After a few minutes came a turn inward for the cross-mountain run.
The many tunnels mean this region’s sparsely populated low mountains are conquered quickly. A special scenic stop was made at Fangye, a traffic-control signal station not visited by regular trains. Westbound trains burst from the mountain-base tunnel beside the station, the South Link Line’s highest, making for thrill-inducing head-on photos.
After our train popped out on the east coast it trundled along for some time, northward bound, high above the pounding Pacific breakers. The most exquisitely “tropical Eden-esque” of the between-tunnel sections is just south of pretty Duoliang Railway Station; on the Day 2 return the train sauntered along here at just 25kph, maximizing viewing time and pleasure.
The steep cliffsides give way to farm-decorated sloping mountainside around Taimali, a Paiwan tribe village. Everyone disembarked and boarded the coaches that then road-cruised us to all destinations until the Day 2 train return. First up was the Millennium Dawn Memorial Park, on the section of a wide, kilometers-long, coconut palm-fringed beach fronting the village. The name commemorates Year 2000 first-sunrise celebrations held here.

From Travel in Taiwan magazine 2016-05-06:
By Rick Charette
Luanshan is a Bunun-tribe village perched on the lower slopes of Mt. Dulan, a peak in the Coastal Mountain Range’s southern reaches. It looks down over bluffs to the floor of the Beinan River, which flows out to sea at Taitung City, and looks across at the Luye Highland, venue for the annual Taiwan International Balloon Festival. Mt. Dulan is sacred to both the Bunun and the Amis; the west side is traditional Bunun land, and the east side, Dulan village at its base, is traditional Amis land.
The Luanshan Bunun invite outsiders on guided ecology/culture experience tours (a fee is charged) on their lands, referred to as an “open-air forest museum.” Travel in Taiwan chose the forest walk with traditional Bunun feast (9am~2pm; if no feast, the activity ends at noon). On the walk, our guide, dressed in traditional warrior garb, explained the local tribal history, medicinal, dye, and other useful plants, the village’s ongoing forest-protection efforts, and much more. We also visited a magnificent sacred grove of giant banyan trees, some 1,000-plus years young. Before sitting down to what was truly a chief’s feast we were regaled with songs of greeting, plus harvest, hunting, and courting songs, and given an archery lesson using traditional-style bows.

Taitung & Kenting | ROAD TRIP DAY 3
ROAD TRIP TAIWAN VLOG | Taitung & Kenting Day 3 (Pottery BNB. Luye Gaotai, Kenting Big Street) 台灣公路之旅 影音日誌部落格 │ 台東與墾丁 第三天 (住宿加早餐民宿-陶燒店，鹿野高台，墾丁大街)
In this road trip vlog on the east coast, we woke up in a beautiful BNB where one of the owners makes Pottery. We went to Luye Gaotai in search of hot air balloons. Most of the day was spent in traffic, but we were able to stop by Downtown Taitung for lunch and end the night in Kenting's Big Street (Night Market). 在這個東海岸公路之旅的短片中，我們在一家美麗的住宿加早餐民宿裡過夜後甦醒起來、店家老闆之一製作陶器藝術品。我們去了鹿野高台尋找熱氣球活動。大部分的時間花在交通，但是我們可以停在台東市區吃午餐，晚上盡歡在墾丁大街 (夜市) 中。
BNB = B&B = B and B = Bed and breakfast 提供住宿床位加早餐的旅館，是一種飯店及旅店的類型，與民宿相似；主要提供床鋪予客人過夜及隔天早餐供應，但不包括中餐、晚餐或其它膳食。( 此處落腳店家，住宿加早餐民宿 - 「九鳥陶燒工作室」。九鳥取自「鳩」字。This Pottery BNB : Nine Birds Pottery Studio - Bed and breakfast. Nine-Bird have the same strokes and pattern as turtle dove in Chinese character form.)

Trip to Taitung Taiwan | Day 1
Our trip from Kaohsiung to Taitung for a long weekend. Day 1 was a long train ride, walk around the train museum, dinner at the night market and resting at the hotel.
Jack's off to Taiwan! Day 16 & 17 - Chishang & Taitung 池上& 臺東
Earlier this trip (day 4) I passed by the east coast and didn't get a chance to explore the area due to circumstances, but I was determined to return before leaving Taiwan!
The entire train ride from Taichung to Chishang took over 7 hours, but I was transported to a totally different side of Taiwan - the (kinda) countryside! The lifestyle is totally different. Definitely a great contrast to the busy city life on the west coast.
For those of you curious of the Eva Air commercial:
