Taiwan Secret Travel Guide - Discover Taiwan
Clearly Taiwan isn't a secret place -- everyone alive in the1980s saw the name printed on the bottom of
their plastic products, right? But what seems to be a secret is that Taiwan is an unbelievable,
unforgettable destination. It's a quirky island, whose sometimes bleak cities are brightened up by
frenzied night markets and funky local fashions. Packed in within the confines of this tiny island, there is
an astounding array of different places to go. Fast-paced and fashionable Taipei, engaging Hsinchu,
romantic and sultry Kaoshiung. Amazingly, the island also has incredible natural beauty: the low areas of
rice paddies give way to towering peaks cloaked in bamboo; on the east coast, the scenery is even more
spectacular, epitomized by the dramatic valleys and mountains of Taroko Gorge. People are friendly, the
food is fantastic (every city and region have their own delectable specialties to search out). And with the high speed rail draped along the whole
west coast, getting around the island is easy, comfortable, and incredibly fast.
