A renowned online booking platform has selected Taiwan’s top five most beloved “Stargazing Sanctuaries,” including Taitung’s Chenggong Township where you can gaze at the Milky Way, Nantou’s Ren’ai Township where twinkling stars meet serene mountain views, and New Taipei’s Jiufen where the mountain town blends with the starry sky—each an ideal place for couples to spend a sweet night and perfectly cap off this year’s Valentine’s Day.

Taitung Chenggong Township: Infinite Romance Under the Milky Way
Sanxiantai in Chenggong Township, which once claimed the top spot in Taitung’s Most Beautiful Starry Sky Competition, is undoubtedly the best choice for travelers seeking the mysteries of the night sky. With its privileged setting, the vast Milky Way above combines with the wave-shaped arch bridge, accompanied by the natural sounds of ocean waves, making visitors feel like they’ve stepped into another world.

Located in Chenggong Township, the “Babongbong Villa Homestay” offers magnificent sea views and a star-studded night sky. Guests can also ride the free bicycles provided by the homestay along the beautiful coastline, surely creating the most romantic memories together.

Taitung Tai’an: Lie on the Earth and Feel the Awe of Countless Stars
Tai’an in Taitung is also another extremely romantic stargazing destination. Travelers can choose to admire the endless starry night sky and moonlit sea either on the beach or the grass, feeling as though time has frozen in the tranquil darkness, enjoying a wonderful moment just for two.
