A Flight - Taiwan
The main island (in a group of 86), Taiwan lies in the shadow of a giant
and off the coast of mainland china. The island though is an impressive
place, and not just because of the size of its mountains. Its cities are
equally solid, with the capital Taipei boasting the world’s tallest building.
You’ll also be kept enthralled by numerous traditional folk festivals. But
don’t miss out on Taiwan’s natural side: its rolling hills skirting majestic
peaks, or its perfect tropical beaches.
Lonely
Planet - Taiwan
Taiwan is a modern industrialised megalopolis clinging to the fringes of
an ancient culture; a string of teeming cities at the feet of a glorious
mountain range. Here you'll find traditional noodles at the 7-Eleven, aboriginal
tribes in mini-skirts, and a day of temple rituals followed by waterslide
rides.

Packing - Taiwan
Lying across the Formosa Strait off the coast of mainland China, and although
viewed by Beijing as a part of "One China", Taiwan acts as an
independent state, has its own currency, and refuses to cede to the rule
of the mainland. A stance that has made it a publicly ignored, but still
annoying thorn in the side of the Beijing Government since the former government
of mainland china decamped to Taipei and declared it to be the true seat
of rule for China after the communist revolution in 1949.
