I'm going with my mom
D1: Taipei (arrive at 5:20 AM so it's a full day)
D2: Taipei
D3: Taipei (day trip to Jiufen and elsewhere depending on time)
D4: Taipei
D5: Sun moon lake
D6: Sun Moon lake
D7: Alishan rec area (via private car from sun moon lake) SLEEP in Shizhuo tea hills area
D8: Hiking in Shizhuo tea hills area
D9: Take scenic railway to Chiayi, Chiayi to Tianan (if scenic railway is available - otherwise take bus from Shizhuo to Chiayi then go to Tianan)
D10: Tianan
D11: Tianan
D12: Kaohsiung
D13 fly back from Kaohsiung
My mom has never been to Asia so I want it to feel very unique and she likes outdoors stuff but not intense trekking so I think Alishan and Shizhou will be nice and atmospheric. Is it enough time in Taipei? It it too many days in Tianan? I keep reading mixed things on Tainan. My mom and I love coffee shops and I've heard there's lots of alleyways with comfy coffee shops.

Looks good, enough variety without moving house every day.

Make sure to account for the time difference, your mum might not be fully fit for the first two days.
>Jiufen
Can be very crowded, just FYI.
>Tainan/Kaohsiung
They are close to each other so you can do them as day trips if you want to stay in one place longer.
