Taitung Donghe Township 'Tai Dan Hao' - Between Mountains and Sea

In the quiet residential streets of Taitung, you'll come across a small shaved ice shop called 'Tai Dan Hao.' While it may not be flashy, the taste of their shaved ice is truly exceptional. Their mango and soy milk-based shaved ice, in particular, stands out with its fresh fruit aroma and finely shaved ice that delivers satisfaction from the very first bite. You can customize the fruit toppings to be thinly sliced or chunky, and the sweetness is kept moderate, leaving a clean and refreshing aftertaste. The shop seems to be family-run, offering a quiet and friendly atmosphere. During busy times, you might have to wait, but the anticipation only adds to the experience. In summer, even the small indoor seating fills up quickly, but as it's a favorite among locals, the wait doesn't feel too frustrating. For photos, it's better to visit in the afternoon when the light is softer rather than under the harsh midday sun. Keep in mind that the open layout means you might share glances with neighboring tables. This is a place that embodies the phrase "sweet but not overly so on a hot day." It's a delightful spot to enjoy a moment of happiness during a stroll along Taitung's coastal trails. 🤩
