Recommended Taitung Private Car Tour Attractions
Luan Mountain Tribe (The Walking Tree)
Yanping Township, Taitung County
Luan Mountain Tribe(Bunun Language: Sazasa) is home to the Bunun people and preserves Taiwan’s most complete nanrong (banyan) mixed forest. The large-leaved white banyan tree here is also called the “walking tree.” Its sprawling, intertwining aerial roots grow and replace withered original trunks, making it appear as if the tree is moving, hence the name.
Visiting the Luan Mountain Tribe with a Taitung private car tour offers unique indigenous activities rarely seen in urban areas, such as:
★ Walking Tree: Explore this centuries-old white banyan tree and witness its slow “movement” over time.
★ BBQ Welcome Ceremony: Participate in the Bunun tribe’s traditional welcoming ritual, grilling pork yourself to experience a primitive lifestyle.
★ Ancestor Worship Ritual: Join the mountain entry ceremony with offerings like millet wine and betel nut to show reverence for nature.
★ Adventure Challenge: Choose your adventure level and climb through the forest to discover its mysteries.
★ Firewood Lunch: Enjoy a traditional Bunun firewood-cooked meal, featuring local specialties like mountain boar and firewood-grilled chicken.
★ Mochi Making Experience: Handcraft mochi to experience the traditional process.
★ Tree Planting Ceremony: Plant a Murraya seedling to symbolize a commitment to protecting the earth.
★ Pasibutbut Performance: Conclude the day by enjoying the Bunun tribe’s unique eight-part harmony singing.

5 Key Advantages of Taitung Private Car Tours
1.Ideal for In-Depth Exploration
Trains and buses cannot access many unique attractions, limiting travelers to common destinations. A private car tour, whether for one day or multiple days, allows flexible scheduling of recommended attractions and uncovers hidden gems and local delicacies in Taitung.
2. Perfect for Non-Drivers
Travelers who don’t drive are left with public transport or scooters. Waiting for buses and transfers can eat up valuable time, while riding scooters in the summer risks heat exhaustion. For a group of 3–4 friends, the cost of a private car tour averages around NT$1,000 per person per day. Feel free to message us for detailed pricing!
3.Great for Family Trips
Whether it’s a small family or a three-generation trip, the luggage and little tasks can add up. A private car tour takes care of the planning and route, letting you relax, nap, enjoy the scenery, or chat freely as soon as you board. James offers comfortable and premium vehicles, such as a five-seater Toyota Wish for small families or a Benz Vito nine-seater luxury van for larger groups.
4. Avoid Fatigue from Driving
Self-driving trips often lead to driver fatigue, making it hard for the driver to fully enjoy the trip. Driving late at night to accommodations can leave everyone exhausted. A major advantage of private car tours is having a dedicated driver, allowing all passengers to relax and appreciate Taitung’s beauty.
5. High-Quality Travel Experience
Beyond relaxation, travel should expand your horizons. A rushed visit to Taitung wastes your precious vacation. James’ private car tour drivers also serve as guides, offering insights into attractions and assisting with photography, ensuring lasting memories.
