Taiwan is an intriguing and varied island state off the southeastern coast of China. Featuring bustling and densely populated cities, Taiwan also offers lush forests and steep mountains. The capital city of Taipei, also known as Taiwan, features the tallest completed skyscraper in the world, at 1666 feet. The tower is symbolically modeled on bamboo rising from the ground, and visitors can take the rapid elevator to the 89th floor for stunning views. The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is the symbol of Taiwan, and a perfect example of the stunning local architecture. The national flag is raised here every day, and the massive courtyard is a center for national celebrations and ceremonies. The National Palace Museum has the finest collection of Chinese artifacts in the world. The Longshan Temple is another unmissable sight, offering a glimpse at local Buddhist culture. Away from Taipei, the Kenting National Park on the south coast features beautiful beaches, and Wulai hot springs is another popular natural destination.

A renowned center for electronics and manufacturing, Taiwan offers a full range of accommodation and dining, ranging from luxurious 5 star hotels to reasonably priced local food. Asian cuisine is enjoyed around the world, and can be experienced here in its original form. Taiwan plays an important role in the complicated and fascinating Chinese history, and while Taiwan passed a law of independence in 2007, the issue of Chinese association remains complex. For a truly unique visitor destination or a business trip against a background of stunning scenery and rich culture, be sure to visit Taiwan!
