Taiwan keeps traditional Chinese culture like nowhere else in the world, including China (The P.R.C.) Indeed, in 1949, while the communists were winning the revolution against nationalist troops in mainland China, millions of refugees crossed the Taiwan strait to seek refuge in Taiwan, bringing with them not only knowledge, arts and religious texts and rites, but also folklore, cooking and popular music from all the Chinese provinces. Moreover, thousands of art masterpieces from Imperial China’s museums and palaces were transferred to Formosa, like the astonishing 600.000 pieces collection from Peking’s Forbidden City exhibited in Taipei’s National Palace Museum, an invaluable treasure saved from the destructions and chaos that wiped most of china’s cultural relics during the Cultural Revolution.
A reason for itself for visiting Formosa is the Taiwanese’s absolute passion for good food at any time of the day. It is said that in Taipei there is a snack stand every three footsteps, and a restaurant every five, and the truth is that there is a multitude of restaurants and eateries competing to serve the best dishes in town. Not only are all five master Chinese cuisines (Shanghainese, Pekinese, Szechuanese, Cantonese and Yangtze cuisines) represented, but local and aborigene specialities, as well as Japanese, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese and western are very much available in most cities. Summarizing, gourmet travelers eager to try new tastes and those with a leaning for good food will lack time to sample all that is on offer.
Formosa is virtually unknown in Europe, and therefore is not a mass tourism destination. It enjoys tough a very good reputation with discerning travellers looking for quality and a unique experience. Taiwan is also an economically and technologically developed country, with international level medical and public infrastructures. The island is also one of the safest destinations in the World and should an emergency arise, the emergency personnel qualification and procedures are those you would expect in a European country.
Taiwan offers museums, temples and traditional villages, and it has developed a good network of eco-lodges and countryside B&B offering activities for children and adult travellers. Adventure sports centers as well as Spas and hot spring resorts are also available.
All this makes Taiwan an ideal alternative for those wanting to have fun during their holidays with young children, or simply enjoy a high standard and relaxed vacation.
Taiwan offers a variety of sceneries and ecosystems ranging from alpine forests, to tropical jungles, mangroves and sandy beaches, and yet thanks to the High Speed Rail you can cross the island from North to South in barely 2 hours, giving you the opportunity to explore its wonderful National Parks without lengthy road trips nor time consuming flights.
