Summer is quietly coming to an end. Haven’t had enough fun or planned your trip yet? As the weather gradually cools down, seize the tail end of summer to treat yourself to a refreshing getaway. Recently, Taiwan has added six more countries to its visa-free list, and the global passport power ranking is not to be underestimated. You might as well take advantage of the visa-free convenience offered by a Taiwanese passport, coupled with the rich selection of budget flights in Asia. With just an extra one to two days off, you can enjoy a relaxing and cozy mini-trip, leaving all worries behind to recharge yourself.

● A Paradise Island in the Philippines

The Philippines is made up of thousands of islands and is also known for its unique "one island, one resort" operation. The famous Palawan is like a fairyland and is hailed as the "last virgin land." Coron Island and the Seven Maidens Island Protected Area, beloved by divers, boast a rich variety of coral species with nearly 100% coral coverage. In addition to exploring the WWII relics of the sunken ship, the USS Luzon, you can also head up the mountain to visit the ultimate hidden gem, "Kayangan Lake," and experience its otherworldly beauty.

● Discovering Alternative Seoul
Seoul is close to Taiwan, just under a three-hour flight away, making it perfect for a short trip with friends. In addition to the must-visit urban attractions, don’t miss Gapyeong, just a 40-minute drive from Seoul, to experience Korea’s natural scenery and rural slow pace. Or challenge yourself with an alternative mode of transport — zip-lining all the way to Nami Island, taking in the island’s beautiful views from high above and experiencing a different side of Korean charm.
