Taiwan Introduction

Situated some 120 kilometres off the southeastern coast of mainland China, Taiwan is a picturesque mountainous island owing much of its natural beauty to the Pacific “Rim of Fire”. Continuous tectonic movements have created majestic peaks, plunging valleys, dramatic coastlines and other wonders worth discovering. It is home to Northeast Asia's tallest mountain, Yushan (Jade Mountain), spectacular waterfalls, and a number of gorgeous nature reserves. A wealth of endemic birds thrives throughout the island, such as the big and beautiful Formosan Blue Magpie, Taiwan's national bird.

The Portuguese called this island Formosa, meaning ‘beautiful’, a title which is well deserved. On this small, beautiful island, an astonishing lush mountain range rises to nearly alpine conditions. Dramatic seascapes line its shores, along with sandy beaches and charming coastal towns. Ancient aboriginal tribes dwell amongst the foothills, while ornate Chinese temples dot the verdant terrain.

Taiwan’s reputation as an industrial powerhouse certainly holds true, but in recent years the economic emphasis has shifted more towards tourism as the nation has begun to showcase its cultural and natural highlights. It is a surprisingly colourful and scenic place well worth deeper exploration.

The cultures of Taiwan are a hybrid blend of Chinese Confucianism, Japanese, European, American, and indigenous influences that are both intermingled and divided between traditional and contemporary perceptions.

Taiwanese culture has also influenced other cultures. Taiwan’s ever-popular bubble tea and milk tea are also enjoyed in Australia, Europe and North America. Then there is the critically acclaimed director Ang Lee who has directed award-winning films such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Eat Drink Man Woman, Sense and Sensibility and Brokeback Mountain.

With its impressive collection of waterfalls, mountains, hot springs and lakes, Taiwan is one of the most rewarding destinations in the world. From a rich historical culture encompassing beautiful pagodas and temples to the massive sky scrappers and cosmopolitan city life in Taipei, Taiwan has it all.

Throughout its relatively brief existence, Taiwan has been a major focal point for colonisers from Europe and Asia. Each culture has left its mark, creating a travel destination which offers an intriguing taste of many different regions. The influence of the Asian powers of Japan and China can be seen in Taiwan’s temples, historic sites, and cuisine. The National Palace Museum is the best place to start your education, but don’t forget to spend some time lingering in Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall to see the contemporary face of Taiwan.
