Taiwan Travel Guide

Taiwan is a province located in the southeast of mainland China, facing Fujian Province across the Taiwan Strait. The vast plains of western Taiwan bring together all major cities, of which Taipei City is the most prosperous. The vast mountain ranges cover a large area in central and eastern Taiwan. They also form many natural places to enjoy the mountains and the distant sea. The long and narrow island of Taiwan spans tropical and subtropical regions, which also makes Taiwan extremely rich in natural resources and scenery. Taipei’s natural geothermal hot springs, the primitive forest vegetation of Alishan, the unique mountain and sea wonders of Hualien, and the enchanting tropical scenery of Kenting are the first reasons for tourists to come to Taiwan.
