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.
