So there's a ton of resources for tourism, and a lot of places are very obvious and well-advertised. But if you plan on travelling the island (and you should somewhat try), people with foreign passports can buy (high-speed) train passes for multiple days. These passes are often the same price as one round trip from Taipei (north) to Kaohsiung (south), but can be used multiple times in a week. They can only be bought through tourism agencies and require a passport. Very worth if you plan on travelling via train (especially HSR). Personally, i enjoyed the eastern side of Taiwan the most, as it's very scenic. If you look at OP's map, all his points are basically in the middle and the east, since the western side is very developed.
Bonus: avoid tourist groups timings when you go look at stuff if you can. Early mornings are the best. These groups are very large, and they are non-stop.

That Taiwan is not Thailand. :)
