Travel tips for an Active Outdoor Vacation

I believe your main concern for those who are active outdoor people are staying dry and warm while keeping the amount of stuff to a minimum.  So what is the best way to pack for an outdoor vacation? Here is the several tips that I believe is the best way to prepare for it. 

     What you have to bring:

In my personal experience, jeans look like the best outdoor cloth that you should bring during the outdoor vacation, but I recommend you to bring pants that are water proof and comfortable.  The reason is that because weather sometimes changes unpredictably at outside that once it rains, it will be hard to move when you are wearing jeans.  Bring a pair of heat-tech (cloths that trap the heat inside) tights, underwear to add a layer to make you warm because as you climb up a mountain the temperature will drop dramatically.  In addition, bring shirt, long sleeved shirts in fabric so that it will absorb sweat better than the one in cotton.  You will definitely want to pack raincoat in case it suddenly rains.  For those, who cant withstand the itch from bites then bringing anti-itch cream is a must have material.  In addition, bring band-aid for sure because it can ease the pain of blisters from hiking. (However, take the band aid at night so that it can heal faster).  Non-cotton socks are also great things to bring during outdoor because it will keep your feet dry.  Out of all those items that I have mentioned water bottle is the most essential items to bring because dehydration can be a problem on the trail.  In fact, bring a flashlight or headlamp for those who like to hike at night, but make sure that you are going the right area if you are doing night hikes.  

Interesting fact about Taiwan

Interesting fact about getting into Taiwan:

Through visiting Taiwan several times in past, I found interesting fact about Visa entry. 

For foreign nationals of the following countries can enter Taiwan visa-free as a visitor provided that theirs passports are valid for at least 6 months upon entry:

• For all European Union member states include Canada, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, the United States have up to 90 days for visa-free as a visitor. 
• Other from European Union, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea have up to 30days for visa-free as a visitor.
• Unfortunately, other states have to go through visa process in order to enter Taiwan as a visitor. 

      Also in Taiwan, there are many public transportations that tourists can go almost anywhere they want.    Compare to standard of public transportations with other countries, I believe Taiwan's public transportations have higher standards than them in terms of safety as well as arriving on time.  I especially like train in Taiwan because it connects to everywhere that I can travel to my destination in short amount of time.   

      Taiwan has different types of food:  

       As I traveled around Taiwan, I came across with interesting fact about Taiwanese food style.  To put simply, the Taiwanese food are derived from mainland Chinese cuisines that it is possible to find Szechuan (四川) food, Hunan (湖南) food, Beifang (北方) food, and Cantonese (廣東) food, in almost everywhere in Taiwan.  In addition, friend of mine from Taiwan once told me that Taiwanese are fond of eggs and seafood that you always see them eating it.  Beside from eggs and seafood, unique subtropical climate in Taiwan allows different fruits to grow that you can almost find any fruits that you can think of.
