Taiwan Travel Guide

Map
  • Chinese Name: 台湾
  • Traditional Chinese Name: 臺灣

  • Location: Southeast of China
  • Area: 36,000sq. km
  • Population: 18.8 million

Visit Taiwan for a different experience of China. This large, subtropical, Pacific island has mountainous scenery and highly-developed cities. A convenient transport network provides easy access to Taiwan's national parks, cultural and historic sights, and iconic city attractions.

To visit Taiwan, you will probably not need a visa, unlike the visa policy for Chinese Mainland. Citizens of the USA, the EU, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and several other countries are entitled to 90-day visa-free entry, similar to Hong Kong's liberal visa policy.

Taiwan's Top Attractions

  • Taroko Gorge — a marble-walled canyon with aboriginal tribes, shrines and temples, mountain hiking, and Taiwanese jade manufacture.
  • The National Palace Museum — "Taiwan's Forbidden City"
  • Taipei 101 — tallest tower outside the Middle East with a beautiful oriental design

Our two Taiwan tours offer a choice of the attractions of the capital Taipei or the scenic highlights around the island. Our tours are fully-customizable, or we can tailor-make a tour of Taiwan to suit your requirements.
