Taiwan, an island with two faces
Taiwan, the former island of Formosa, is separated from mainland China by the Taiwan Strait. This territory of 36,191 km² is surrounded on one side by the China Sea and on the other by the Pacific Ocean. The standard-bearer of Asia's dragons, Taiwan is a temple of new technology, where the latest computers, flat screens and other electronic gadgets are almost commonplace. But beyond this image of a land of geeks lies a more authentic face that will astonish you.
Despite the meteoric growth of modern cities such as Taipei, picturesque fishing villages continue to dot the island's shores. Long coveted by the Chinese, Taiwan has remained independent, without abandoning the traditions it inherited from its mainland sister. The attachment of the inhabitants to Confucianism, the preponderance of Buddhist and Taoist temples that can be admired throughout the country, the art of calligraphy, all bear witness to this closeness between Taiwan and China. Tawain also boasts a coastline almost 1500 km long, offering seaside tourism enthusiasts a plethora of beaches.

There are many reasons to visit Taiwan, but if you had to name one, it would surely be for its gastronomy. Taiwan is world-renowned for the flavor of its cuisine, which easily rivals that of Thailand. Here, you don't need to sit down in a Michelin-starred restaurant to sample the quintessence of local gastronomy. Night markets or street stalls serve the best of Taiwanese cuisine. Get off the beaten track and try new flavors like snake soup, for example. To complete your gastronomic discovery of Taiwan, take part in the unmissable tea ceremony.
Taipei, the island's capital, is worth a trip in itself. At the crossroads of tradition and modernity, this city boasts a rich heritage that's well worth a visit. There are many modern buildings in Taipei, but the most astonishing is the Taipei 101 Tower, one of the world's tallest skyscrapers. If you're interested in Chinese art, take a trip to the National Museum of China, where almost 75% of the world's Chinese art collections are on display. Some, like the imperial collections, are of great beauty. Before leaving Taipei, be sure to take a close look at the Longshan Temple and the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial, two more of Taiwan's architectural marvels. Tainan, the country's ancient capital, is another centuries-old city that will appeal to the history buff in you. With over 300 temples to visit and festivals held throughout the year, you'll have no time to get bored.
Privileged by nature, the city that the Portuguese named Formosa for its beauty will fulfill your dreams of escape. Situated in the center of the island, the Moon and Sun Lake appeals not only for its natural beauty, but also for the pagodas and temples that surround it. The tropical beaches of Kenting National Park in the south of the island are an invitation to relax. Don't forget to lay down your towel on the fine sands of Baisha, one of the world's most beautiful beaches. Before leaving Taiwan, treat yourself to a moment of cocooning at one of the Wulai or Beitou hot springs. After you've been pampered, visit the nearby traditional villages and watch a puppet show.
Taiwan is a particularly popular destination for tourists, who flock here during school vacation periods. If you don't want to be elbow-deep in places of interest, it's best to plan your stay in Taiwan between September and October, when most holidaymakers are back home. In addition to the moderate crowds, the climate is pleasant. If you have the opportunity, you can also go to Taiwan a little earlier than others, i.e. in April or June. Chinese New Year is a time of celebration in Taiwan. To attend the various festivities organized to welcome the New Year in Taiwan, plan your trip between January and February.
