TAIWAN
Taiwan is located in the Pacific Ocean only 160 km (120 miles) from Mainland China. The island straddles the Tropic of Cancer and offers a subtropical environment. Taiwan is only 394 km (236 miles) long and 144 km (86 miles) at its greatest width, but boasts a population of 23 million people, a progressive democratic government, a bustling economy, and an eclectic mix of old and new. The main language here is Mandarin Chinese, however many locals can also speak Taiwanese, or another aboriginal language.

Although Taiwan is modern and somewhat westernized, many traditional things are still visible in daily life; lively street markets, worshipping in front of homes or offices, parades and holiday festivals. Taiwan offers six national parks and a number of recreational areas. Outdoor activities abound once you find your way out of the city and include hiking, white water rafting and soaking in the plentiful natural hot springs. Taiwan's central location allows for short flights to Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan or other parts of Asia for holidays. EXPERIENCE TAIWAN!
