Jiaoshi Travel Guide
Tourists who have grown tired of North Taiwan's urban jungles can escape to the more remote coast of Jiaoshi. With its modest collection of inns and food places, as well as the invigorating hot springs and rugged sceneries, this waterfront settlement makes for a satisfying weekend. This quaint town can be explored by foot. Some of the locals are friendly and can speak English.
Arguably, the prime attraction in Jiaoshi is the stunning Wufengchi Falls, found a few kilometers northwest of the train station.
