Taiwan

Together with South Korea Singapore and Hong Kong,Taiwan is a member of the so-called "four little dragons".
It has 5000 years of cultural tradition of the Chinese people and protects the old architectural relics and ancient cultures.
Surrounded by water it has unique topographical features. Many National Parks and forest recreation areas have been established including hot-spring sites offering the traveller five star facilities.
Once named Formosa meaning "beautiful island", Taiwan is approximately 36,000 square kilometers, plus 72 smaller islands 4 of which have been developed as tourist attractions. It has a population around 22 million people while Taipei has a population of about 2.8 million. The size of Taiwan could be compared to the size of Holland. The Island enjoys a tropical climate throughout most of the land, however the high mountain peaks occasionally get snow when the humidity is at a certain level. Through the resilience and creativity of the Taiwanese people it has become a heavyweight in world trade and technology, it's main exports being computers and machinery.
Taiwan is a culinary heaven. After the Second World War, many Chinese people from the mainland settled in Taiwan bringing with them traditional Chinese cuisine from many different parts of China. Because of this it is possible to savor food from such provinces of mainland China as Hunan, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Beijing to name a few. Visitors can also find Western food such as Italian and American. Food is relatively inexpensive, plentiful and always mouth watering and one of the popular ways of eating food is "snacking" at the many markets.
Taiwan is a shopper's paradise. Local markets sell good quality clothes and leather, tea and fine handicrafts in fact almost anything one could wish for.
