Taiwan 🇹🇼 - An Underrated Travel Destination and Why You SHOULD Visit! | Taiwan Travel Guide

Taiwan is an island nation deeply rooted with Chinese culture and heritage. In present day, it is in a geopolitical struggle to maintain its democracy from being part of China. Despite its small size, Taiwan has a dynamic and resilient society, with a thriving democracy and a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. The island's political status is a subject of ongoing debate, with China claiming Taiwan as part of its territory, while Taiwan operates as a separate, self-governing entity.

It was a country I never really intended to visit but have since fallen in love with the people, the landscape, the food, and the customs.

In this video, I travel around Taiwan and showcase a few places to go and what it's like visiting this small island nation.

I am Canadian and I have visited Taiwan 6 times. It's absolutely my number 1 travel destination, not just in Asia, but in the entire world. The greatest attraction of Taiwan? Its PEOPLE. (Its food a close second.) The Taiwanese are the kindest people ON THIS PLANET. I am not just talking about politeness, something that the Japanese do slightly better than the Taiwanese. I am talking about genuine kindness. Because Taiwan is a rich country, so no one will try to cheat you there (unlike many developing countries, I regret to say). The Taiwanese - old and young, urban and rural, English-speaking or not - will always try their best to help you when they see you in need of help or when you ask for help. In this regard, no citizens of any country can rival the Taiwanese, and I have travelled all over the world.

We also just visited Taiwan. I was born there but moved away at a young age. I am impressed by how friendly the people are, and how safe we felt walking at night. We drank 2-3 bubble tea a day because it was so much cheap there (half the price of what we pay in North America). I would rank Taiwan as the No.1 place for tea related drinks ranging from a massive selection of Chinese tea, milk tea, to mixture of juices and anything in between. Taiwan is a hot and humid island (especially Taipei), so cold drinks can be found everywhere. Bring your USD, CAD, AUD and Euros to visit Taiwan, your money will go a long way there.

As a Chinese, I have to say Taiwan is by far one of my fav countries. Traditional Chinese culture has been perfectly persevered while mixing Japanese and Southeast Asian elements, altogether embracing the modern democratic values. Chinese culture was once destroyed by Chinese communist party(supported by USSR). But still, many great moral values u gonna find in Taiwan really show Taiwanese persistent efforts.

Brought my mom there last May, it is absolutely hidden gem. People are very kind and polite, more chilling comparing to the neighborhood. Love from Thailand

Nice documentary. I've lived in Taipei for a long time. It's really an incredible city. Modern, efficient, convenient, and reasonably priced. Oh yeah and great universal healthcare. I'm in the US now and I had to get antibiotics for an infection. I don't have insurance here. $140 got the Dr. And then I had to spend $22 on meds and waited at cvs pharmacy for 30 mins. Lol . In Taiwan it's $6 to see the doctor or dentist with meds included. And when you're done with the appointment the pharmacy is part of the clinic so you get your meds as soon as you're done with the Dr. Plus you can eat cheap. No crime and beauty everywhere.

I would go back there in a heartbeat. Beautiful country! Our family enjoyed our time there.

Ah, Taiwan, the place where I was born and brought up; home of egg oyster pancakes, bubble tea, and microchips; an island where the great nature is just a couple of hours away; and a country where the specter of war is haunting for over 70 years and is aptly dubbed "the most dangerous place on Earth".

Your voice is really calming. You show that you do not have to be loud and over the top to educate people about travelling. Thank you

Taiwan is a country that has been bullied by China for a long time and needs the support of friends from many countries.
Taiwan welcomes you

I knew Taiwan as one of the Four Asian Tigers of the developed East Asian economies in 80's, which is famous for Musical works, movies and modernized high tech industry, etc. Now I was amazed by the culture and beautiful sceneries, as well as foods and people living there. I planned to visit in March❤❤🎉2024.
