QUALITY OF LIFE
Taiwan is ideal for island-hopping, small-town tours, mountaineering, and forest hiking.
Taiwan has lots of natural and cultural resources to offer. In terms of nature, due to continuous tectonic movements, Taiwan’s landscapes are quite diverse. The island thus has mountains, hills, plains, basins, islets, valleys, and shores all at once. Moreover, the Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of Taiwan. This has enabled Taiwan to develop many native living beings across tropical, subtropical, and temperate climate areas, such as Formosan landlocked salmon, Formosan rock monkey, Formosan black bear, and Swinhoe's blue pheasant.
To preserve Taiwan’s graceful nature and ecology, nine national parks and 13 national scenic areas have been established. Together they showcase Taiwan’s most beautiful natural scenery and tourist spots.
As to culture, because many different ethnic groups reside on this island, Taiwan is culturally diverse. All kinds of religion, architecture, languages, lifestyles and food thrive in harmony here, especially food. Taiwanese, Hakka, Hunan, Sichuan, Japanese, and Korean food can all be enjoyed in the forms of snacks, specialties, or restaurant dishes. As a “kingdom of delicious food,” Taiwan is acknowledged by the world’s gourmands for the diversity of culinary choices it offers.
