Recommended tour routes: From Tai O Bus Terminal, walk slowly along Tai O Market Road to feel the authentic atmosphere of life. It is recommended to try authentic snacks as the first stop: shrimp sauce and salted fish. These are Tai O specialties. Buying a little from the market stall is also suitable as a souvenir. If you are hungry, try the sha Wen (instant fried sugar donut), many people say it is a must! Must-play check-in spots: When you get near the waterway bridge, be sure to stop and take pictures. There are shacks, sampans and boats shuttled under the bridge, which complement the mountain and sea scenery. It's super eye-catching!
