Taiwan
Taiwan packs an unusual density of contrasts into a small island: high alpine peaks drop to subtropical coastlines, and dense urban grids give way to forested gorges within an hour's drive. Temple incense drifts through night markets where the smell of braised pork and freshly steamed dumplings hangs in warm, humid air. It is a place where traditional religious life and cutting-edge technology coexist without apparent friction.
About Taiwan
Overview
Taiwan sits in the western Pacific, roughly 180 kilometres off the southeastern coast of mainland China, with Japan's Ryukyu Islands to the northeast. The capital is Taipei. Mandarin Chinese is the official language, though Taiwanese Hokkien is widely spoken. The currency is the New Taiwan dollar. The island's culture draws on Han Chinese traditions, Indigenous Austronesian heritage, and a distinct Japanese colonial imprint that still shapes architecture, food, and urban habits.
