We only ask for your location when you tap the button, and your exact position stays in this browser. For the forecast, your browser sends a position rounded to about 1 km to WanderRank's server, which asks MET Norway, the Norwegian weather service. MET Norway doesn't see your IP address. The server keeps forecasts briefly, by rounded position only, so it doesn't ask twice. To stop abuse, it also counts new forecast lookups from each IP address over 10 minutes. That count stays in the server's memory only and doesn't include the position.
Closest pick From Taipei, the closest side quest is Jiufen Old Street at Night, about 1 h by road. Look up 'Jiufen at night' and you'll wonder why you've never heard of it. It feels like walking into an animated film. The cliff-side ocean views from the top are a 10. 21 mi Jiufen Old Street at Night 9.3 wow factor ~1 h drive · 👁 Hidden Viewpoint · TaiwanLook up 'Jiufen at night' and you'll wonder why you've never heard of it. It feels like walking into an animated film. The cliff-side ocean views from the top are a 10. 62 mi Taroko Gorge Marble Canyon Hike 9.5 wow factor ~2.5 h drive · 🥾 Scenic Hike · TaiwanMarble cliffs, a turquoise river and cliff-cut trails, and barely known outside Taiwan. 74 mi East Coast Highway Cycle 9.5 wow factor ~3 h drive · ⚡ Free Adventure · TaiwanThis is legitimately one of the best cycling routes in the world. The road hugs the coast, the tunnels have pedestrian paths, and there are hot spring detours every 20km. 563 mi Batad Rice Terraces 9.5 wow factor Too far to drive today · 👁 Hidden Viewpoint · Philippines Batad is less visited than Banaue (the famous postcard terraces) and far more dramatic. You're IN the bowl, not looking from a highway viewpoint. The surrounding Ifugao villages are still farming the same terraces their ancestors built. 969 mi El Nido Island Hopping, Palawan 10.0 wow factor Too far to drive today · ⛵ Scenic Ferry · Philippines The Big Lagoon and Small Lagoon at El Nido are accessible only by kayaking through a narrow rock passage into a hidden bay. The water inside is dead calm and framed entirely by limestone cliffs. The Philippines' water is genuinely world-class. 1,044 mi Tam Coc Bamboo Boat 9.2 wow factor Too far to drive today · ⛵ Scenic Ferry · Vietnam Tam Coc is often called the inland Ha Long Bay, and it earns that comparison. The boat passes through flooded tunnels and emerges into valleys ringed by cliffs. The rowers are often older women with extraordinary technique. It's meditative and surreal. 1,059 mi Hai Van Pass by Motorbike 9.5 wow factor Too far to drive today · 🥾 Scenic Hike · Vietnam The train goes through a tunnel now, so most visitors miss it entirely. The pass itself has an abandoned French/American war bunker at the summit with panoramic views. You'll have it nearly to yourself on weekday mornings. 1,061 mi Chocolate Hills, Bohol 9.2 wow factor Too far to drive today · 👁 Hidden Viewpoint · Philippines The hills are genuinely inexplicable at scale: hundreds of identical mounds in every direction as far as you can see. Bohol also has tarsiers (among the world's smallest primates, with enormous eyes), Loboc River cruises, and some of the Philippines' best beaches at Alona Beach.
