Youth Travel Spots in Taiwan
Taipei Outdoor Action Youth Travel Hub
Step out of the classroom, step into the real world, and let action become your story. The "Taipei Outdoor Action Youth Grand Tour Point" is operated by the Pomona Education Innovation and Promotion Association (PEVA). We accompany young people as they venture into the mountains and forests, journey toward the world, learning and growing through real outdoor action, and bringing transformation back to life and society. Four Grand Tour Activities by the Association: 1. Wild Walk 2026 Inviting outdoor creators to join you, turning mountain trails into real conversations about life choices. From Taipei's suburban forests and the Northeast Coast to the century-old Tamsui-Kavalan Trails, and all the way to Spain's thousand-year-old Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. 2. Mountain Readers・Embodied Mountain Learning Co-creating long-term outdoor education growth pathways with schools, with age-appropriate designs from kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high to senior high school. 3. Real World Action Pathways Three-day themed action learning experiences tailored for junior high, senior high, and young adults: Ocean Conservation, Mountain Conservation, Local Connection, Cross-Cultural Action, Life Care, and Urban Public Engagement. 4. Walk Into Taiwan Inviting companions who have truly traveled the world to bring international youth into Taiwan's mountains, seas, ancient trails, and daily life—not introducing Taiwan, but letting people walk into Taiwan. Every grand tour brings youth a little closer to themselves, and makes the world a little better.
Keelung Marine City Youth Travel Spot
Surrounded on three sides by mountains, Keelung boasts a unique historical and ecological significance. With its rich maritime culture, historical landmarks, and coastal charm, Keelung is home to a wealth of attractions—from the internationally renowned Port of Keelung to its tranquil seaside scenery and enduring cultural relics—making it a beautiful and valuable destination for tourism. 1. Badouzi’s Coastal Fishing Culture In the early days, Badouzi was home to fishing communities whose seafaring lives shaped a rich marine heritage. The area still holds mysterious stories of the sea and a deep connection to its maritime past. A stroll through the old Badouzi streets, tasting fresh fish cooked in large pots at traditional fish huts, immerses you in the authentic charm of a fishing village and offers a glimpse into its former glory. 2. Wangyou Valley – A Journey to Forget Your Worries Wangyou Valley, named one of Taiwan’s top ten "healing trails," is a lush green valley of meadows and low shrubs bordered by the vast blue ocean. Walking through the valley offers more than just physical relaxation—it’s a chance to admire sweeping ridgelines, explore unique plant ecosystems, and reconnect with nature in its most serene form. 3. Daping Coast – Step into Nature with Straw Sandals The Daping Coast features a wave-cut platform formed over tens of thousands of years. Alongside this stunning coastal landscape is a vibrant intertidal zone teeming with green algae and marine life. Slip on a pair of traditional straw sandals and explore this natural masterpiece up close—an adventure that brings you into harmony with the ocean. 4. Natural Dyeing with Shorea – An Ocean-Inspired Craft Shorea (Shu Lang) is a native Taiwanese plant historically used by fishermen to dye their nets. Today, this traditional practice has evolved into an innovative local craft. In the dyeing experience, seawater’s sodium ions help fix the plant dye, creating a lasting color while adding fun to the rinsing process. It’s a creative blend of heritage and modern artistry, rooted in the spirit of the ocean.
