AUVIETAILOR-MADE TRAVEL

AUVIE VOYAGE / ASIA

Where to? One destination in depth, or several in one journey.

Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China each have their own rhythm. Explore one slowly, or follow a route that links them.

Taiwan · Taipei, Jiufen and the northeast coast, Taroko Gorge, Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, Tainan

Taiwan

Taipei, Jiufen and the northeast coast, Taroko Gorge, Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, Tainan

Compact and easy to travel, with high-speed rail down the west coast. Combine Taipei's museums and food with the dramatic east coast, the lakes and tea hills of the centre, and Tainan, the old capital.

  • Jiufen's lantern-lit old streets and Pingxi sky lanterns
  • Taroko Gorge and the Hualien coast
  • Sun Moon Lake and Alishan's tea plantations
  • Tainan's temples and street food
Hong Kong · Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, Lantau, Sai Kung and the outlying islands

Hong Kong

Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, Lantau, Sai Kung and the outlying islands

An easy first stop in Asia. Beyond the harbour and the city's energy are fishing villages, beaches and hiking trails, and Macau is a short ferry ride away.

  • Tai O fishing village and the Big Buddha on Lantau

Mainland China

Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin and Yangshuo, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu

  • The Terracotta Army in Xi'an
