Renting a scooter in Taitung is a way to get even closer to the area than renting a car. Taitung is Taiwan’s third-largest city by area, after Hualien and Nantou, and it has both a mountain route and a coastal route. If you’re a student and a scooter rental in Taitung fits your budget better, or you simply want the thrill of riding, renting a scooter in Taitung is a great choice!
The wide-open Brown Boulevard, the artsy Tiehua Village, and Dulan with its indigenous roots are all Taitung sights that leave a lasting impression. Whether you take the train to Taitung and rent a scooter there or drive yourself, you can simply switch off, daydream, and feel completely relaxed.
