Miaoli County - Ultimate Travel Guide

Miaoli. The Slow-Travel county. Jokingly referred to as a country of its own, Miaoli is one of the most overlooked areas in Taiwan. It's absolutely bursting with hidden gems.

I remember the aghast look on my Taipei friends' faces when I told them I was moving to Miaoli county. "WHY?! There's NOTHING THERE!!" they exclaimed. The lack of information on Miaoli in travel guides seemed to confirm their exhortations.

They were all wrong. Miaoli is full of hidden gems, diverse cultures, amazing food, great outdoors & awesome nature - if you know where to look!

    Who am I?

    Hi! I'm Jamie. I moved to Taiwan from the UK to protect & research their moon bears, leopard cats & other amazing wildlife. I lived in Miaoli County's Toufen & Zhunan for 18 months.

    My work, travels & everyday life have taken me all over Miaoli - from delicious eateries & awesome bars to community hangouts, gorgeous temples, & the deep mountains.

    Despite my initials fears on what I'd find (or not!) in Miaoli, I grew to love it. It's my second home. Miaoli has tonnes of wonderful spots that you'll never find on mainstream travel guides.

    Together with my friends, we'll show you the very best that Miaoli has to offer.
