Hi,
This website supports my two books, Taipei Escapes I and II, and features photos and updates of the forty Walks and twenty Day Trips in those two books.
To get started, click on the ‘Taipei Escapes 1′ or ‘Taipei Escapes 2′ tabs above to get to a list of the thirty trips in each book, then click on the desired Walk or Day Trip to zoom to that trip’s own page. Photos are up on virtually all sixty pages (some have many more photos than others), and any updates will be posted on the respective page as soon as I’m aware of them.
I hope you’ll view this website as a community effort, so please feel free to contribute to it (please use the relevent page!) if you have any:
- Updates on transport details, website changes or route directions
- Photos from a trip you’d like to share (will be uploaded if space allows, but will always be credited to you)
- post Walk or Day Trip comments
- Anything else you’d like to share!
Happy escaping!!
Richard
