Luye Highland

Luye Highland, in Taitung’s Luye Township, is a scenic plateau best known for hot air balloon flights during the Taiwan International Balloon Festival (June–August). Its broad grasslands and valley vistas draw sunrise watchers, paragliders, and cyclists, with clear weather offering expansive views of the East Rift Valley. Facilities include viewing platforms, walking paths, and seasonal event areas; expect crowds in summer and quieter weekdays off-season. It suits travelers seeking gentle outdoor activity, photography, family-friendly space, and a signature Taiwan balloon experience; those wanting challenging hikes or coastal scenery may prefer other Taitung destinations.
