The dining scene in Nantou is one that’s built around the abundance of super-fresh raw ingredients. The mountainous heart of Taiwan is home to seemingly endless fruit farms, tea plantations and vineyards. Some of their products are unique to Nantou County, and can make for great souvenirs – assuming you can get them home without consuming them yourself before you get there!
Dining in Nantou is also an adventure in culinary culture. The area is home to a variety of aboriginal and immigrant communities. You can try the traditional dishes of the Baiyi from Myanmar or the Thao people, who have lived around Sun Moon Lake for centuries. Naturally, there’s also a great selection of Chinese, Taiwanese and international cuisine available.
