Taiwan is a beautiful country in Asia. Most tourists are impressed by Taiwanese hospitality and the exquisite and delicious food. Surrounded by the ocean, Taiwan has a marvelous landscape for tourists to travel along. Taiwan also has the largest number and density of mountains in the world. The spectacular mountains attracts thousands of tourists every year. The introduction of Taiwan on Lonely Planet’s website says:
Ilha Formosa – Beautiful Island. This is what a group of Portuguese sailors, said to have been the first Westerners to lay eyes on the island, uttered upon seeing Taiwan for the first time. We imagine they must have been pretty enamoured. While not every Westerner has the same love-at-first-sight reaction to Taiwan, our Portuguese seafaring friends were just the first of many. With the lush mountains of Wulai, pulsating cities like Taipei, the stunning basalt cliffs of Penghu , excellent hiking in Taroko Gorge, not to mention some of the world’s best hot springs (we especially like the Taian Hot Springs), Taiwan cuts a figure as one of the most diverse destinations in Asia.
Taiwan is definitely worth a visit in your life. Below is a list of useful tourism websites.
