Sitting on the south-eastern coast of China, Taiwan is a unique blend of cosmopolitan influences. Its character, drawn from as disparate corners of the world as Holland, Spain, Japan, and China, can feel at once familiar and foreign, homely and intriguing, a feat in no small part due to its well-deserved reputation for technology.
Indeed, as one of the world’s most dynamic economies, Taiwan is a visible bridge between modernity and tradition. Its open-armed embrace of new technologies has given its cities a reputation for highly-developed urban landscapes, while its natural beauty and rustic villages preserve a history many centuries in the making. A visit to Taiwan can therefore feel like walking at the intersection of worlds, a place where old and new collide on every street corner. In fact, it could be said that the only constant on this ever-changing island is its wonderful cuisine, a faithful companion for each and every experience it has to offer.
