    Taipei is a thoroughly modern and typically bustling Asian city, with many superb restaurants and shopping opportunities. It's also a great base for day trips to the national parks, hot springs and lush hills of northern Taiwan.

    Sitting on the same volcanic ridge as Japan, hot springs are plentiful in Taiwan. Tucked away in the mountains that surround Taipei are dozens of thermal springs, offering highly relaxing alternative to city life.

    Culturally, Taiwan has a more genuinely preserved collection of Chinese artefacts than the mainland, with the National Palace Museum in Taipei home to the world's largest collection thanks to Chiang Kai-shek's mass pilfer during the Chinese civil war.

Once you have visited Keelung the bus tour then travels onwards to the exposed coastline of the Yehliu Nature Park which is located 10km out of Keelung.

The Yehliu Nature Park is known for its bizarre, jagged rock formations which have been carved by the elements and a short walk will take you to a lighthouse which has amazing views of this coastline. The tour lasts for approximately 4 hours.
