The Taiwanese do not have a seaside culture per se and the north coast is visited mostly for its superb landscapes with jagged coasts lined with tourist villages like Jiufen and Yeliu. Lovers of lounging and white sand beaches with coconut trees will find happiness on the south coast of the island with its more tropical environment.
