Taiwan

Taiwan, an island in East Asia with a semi-tropical climate, is a rapidly changing and captivating region. Much like other parts of Asia, Taiwan has a dense population and is highly developed in terms of economics, technology, and transportation. The people of Taiwan are well-educated and well-traveled. Despite this modernisation, the island is home to diverse cultures, and its mountainous interior remains a haven of untouched natural beauty. While Taiwan was previously seen mainly as a destination for business travellers, its unique blend of Chinese tradition and modern influences, along with its stunning ecological wonders and incredibly friendly people, has endeared it to many outsiders.
