Why is Taiwan a must-visit travel destination? Taiwan is an island with high mountains, historically ruled by many colonizers, such as Kuomintang (K. M. T. ), Japanese government and Qing dynasty, making Taiwan an immigrant-based society composed of various cultures such as Chinese, Japanese and Austronesian. Compared to neighboring countries like Japan and Korea, Taiwan is diverse in terms of languages and cultures and quite safe for solo travelers. When you visit the Old Street, heritage and temples, you will find the traditional arts and folk beliefs still coexist within this modern society. The democratic society is what makes Taiwan so different from Mainland China. All the pieces of what happened in the past combined together, forming the truly local life like the delicious and various food and drinks in Taiwan-special night markets. Traveling brought me amazing life experiences. I have lived in Beijing, the capital of China for five years, and visited 35 countries, as well as enjoyed backpack traveling in Latin America. I would love to share with you every lovely thing in my world, my home harbor city Keelung and where I study and work - Taipei. Let's be friends and let me(Su Hsiao Lan - Taiwan Tourism Bureau Licensed English Tour Guide, Licensed Spanish Tour Manager) show you the touristy and hidden spots of northern Taiwan based on your interests by private car, public transportation or walk, discovering Taiwan inform the local point of view while forming unique experiences of life.

    Mila was a fantastic choice for our day in Taipei. We asked to start an hour earlier due to our ship’s arrival time, and she graciously accommodated us. Due to traffic and some rain, we turned the order of our tour around, and it was perfect. She gave us much background of local customs and religious temples. She took us to a delicious lunch with soup dumplings, pot...

    This is one of the best tours I've ever taken! Mila showed us things I never would have had the chance to do without a local's help. We fit so many things into our embarkation day, it was like a vacation within a vacation. She knew so many tiny local food spots, places we would never have been brave enough to try on our own. We can't recommend this tour enough, lifelong...

    This is a great tour. Me-Lay is a great guide-friendly, knowledgeable, and able to adjust based on the group. We browsed through a market as part of the tour, which was very interesting. This was my family's favorite day/tour of our whole trip to Taiwan.

    We had so much fun with our tour. The Yehliu Geopark and Jiufen Old Street experiencing was amazing! We learned so much about the Culture because of Mila. Mila was able to educate all of us about the places. We had to opt out for the waterfalls and lantern experience as it was raining hard but overall, it was a great experience. Thank you Mila and for our driver for...
