Taiwan Tourist Information

On this page you’ll find more Taiwan tourist information than you will ever need to prepare your trip to Taipei and other parts of beautiful Formosa!

I have spent countless hours, days, weeks, months (more than 17 years) traveling around Taiwan, doing research about Chinese culture, studying Mandarin, working, and building this travel guide.

The Taiwan tourist information presented on this page is not only the result of my own investigations – a lot of it comes from the mountain of emails I’ve gotten over the years from the tens of thousands of visitors who regularly consult this Taiwan Travel Guide.

Learn Chinese: Taiwan isn’t just a fantastic place with natural attractions and cultural sights – it’s also the best place in the world to learn Mandarin Chinese.

  • What’s difficult about learning the Chinese language?
