● A Phytoncide Journey to the Magao Sacred Tree Grove in Yilan

In the hot month of August, the Magao Ecological Park in Yilan stands out among many hiking trails and is definitely the best place to escape the heat. As soon as you step into the park, you’re enveloped by the tranquility and mystery of the primeval forest. Aside from being the filming location of the rainbow bridge in the movie “Seediq Bale,” it also features a group of cypress trees that have been recognized as having the potential to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Let dad enjoy a touch of luxurious serenity and priceless family companionship.

● Taipei Slow Living: Hunting for Cafés

Break away from Taipei’s usual fast pace—take dad to the tranquil Minsheng Community, a hub for cafés tucked away in a quiet corner of Taipei, offering an experience unlike the city’s bustling streets. In the evening, after visiting the Raohe Night Market, rent a bicycle and slowly ride along the riverside near the Rainbow Bridge, enjoying precious parent-child time.

● Romantic Moments in Hualien’s Golden Needle Flower Season

Hualien in August is golden needle flower season, with vast fields of bright yellow blooms stretching across Chike Mountain. Additionally, the Huatung Valley and Liushi Mountain, known as Little Switzerland, are must-visits for nature lovers, especially the Little Switzerland Viewpoint which offers breathtaking panoramic views. Even if you’re not traveling abroad for Father’s Day, you can still give dad the gift of a world-class, stunning landscape.
