The buzzing “C (coffee) by day, A (alcohol) by night” concept is reshaping Taipei’s dining scene.

Some serve coffee and cocktails all day, even offering specialty drinks that creatively blend the two.

The coastal towns of Chiayi County are on upraised oases along an ever-shifting world of land and sea, sculpted by silting on a large scale at the edge of the wide, alluvial, and fecund Jianan Plain.

My first impression of Taiwan came at 30,000 feet.

Over the intervening years, I have dedicated countless pairs of hiking shoes to learning her mountain paths, and yet I carry around a perpetually overflowing bucket list of unexplored trails. What follows is just a small fraction of the many high-mountain adventures I hope to have in the future.
