Travel to Taiwan

Located in the heart of East Asia, Taiwan is an exciting destination that seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern innovation. This island nation is a traveler's paradise, offering a wealth of exciting experiences from stunning natural landscapes to bustling urban centers.


For nature lovers, Taiwan boasts a variety of landscapes, from the lush hills of Alishan to the dramatic cliffs of Taroko Gorge. The latter, a marble-walled canyon, invites hiking with breathtaking views. In addition, San Mun Lake, surrounded by emerald green mountains, provides a tranquil setting for relaxation and boating.


Food lovers are in for a real treat, as Taiwan is famous for its vibrant street food culture. The night markets come alive with a variety of mouth-watering dishes, such as oyster scramble and bubble tea, which originated here. Exploring these bustling markets not only satisfies the taste buds, but also gives you a glimpse into the local way of life.


Taiwan's cities, including Taipei, are a blend of tradition and modernity. The iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper pierces the skyline, and historic temples such as Longshan Temple offer a glimpse into the island's spiritual heritage. Art lovers can immerse themselves in creativity at the Red House Theater and the lively Ximending District.


Traveling in Taiwan is easy thanks to an efficient and well-developed public transportation system. High-speed rail (HSR) connects major cities, making it convenient to explore different regions in a short period of time.


In addition, the warm and friendly locals of Taiwan enhance the travel experience. Their genuine hospitality and willingness to share their cultural characteristics create meaningful connections that often develop into lasting friendships.


The annual Lantern Festival, when thousands of colorful lanterns light up the night sky, and the exuberant Dragon Boat Festival are just a few examples that showcase the island's rich cultural diversity.
