Taiwan - Land of an
Economic Miracle - Another Land of Beauty
From soaring mountaintops reaching 3,000 meters to a curving
cliff-studded coastline, Taiwan is that large island located off the
southeastern coast of mainland China. It is also known as Formosa from
Portuguese meaning 'beautiful island'. To Taiwan's northeast are the main
islands of Japan, and the Philippines lie to its south. It is a
mountainous island with gently rolling plains to the west that are home to most
of Taiwan's population. Taiwan is the world's fourth highest
island.
By nature, Taiwanese people are friendly, passionate
and hospitable. Taiwan's population exceeds 24 million with 98% of the
people of Han Chinese ethnicity. Around 70% of the total population are
related to those who migrated from the southeast of mainland China, with 2%
being Taiwanese aborgines. Most of the people of Taiwan speak both
Mandarin and Taiwanese Hokkien.
Many religions are openly practiced from
various Christian faiths to Taoism and Buddhism. There are over 14,993
temples in Taiwan, approximately one place of worship per 1,500 residents.
Most aborigines have converted to Christianity.
Baseball is
the national sport in Taiwan. Family reunions reveal round tables and red
envelopes. Traditional festivals in Taiwan are as rich and colorful as its
landscape. The most famous is the 'Sky Lantern' festival where thousands
of 4-foot-high lanterns soar upward into the sky all at once.
The 'Snow in May' tung blossom season in Hakka communities
is a must-see.
One of Taiwans greatest attractions is the National
Palace Museum, which houses more than 650,000 pieces of Chinese art and
objects, considered one of the greatest cultural collections in the world.
Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan. Taroko Gorge is considered the most
attractive region of Taiwan. Sun Moon Lake is also one of Taiwan's
loveliest regions. Many cities and towns around the country have what is
called an 'old street'. It's no secret that Taiwan's cuisine is
world-class. It also has the world's highest density of butterfly
species.
Taiwan 
is one of the Four Asian Tigers.
It is the Land of an Economic Miracle, and another Land of
Beauty.
