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.
