Small but remarkably varied, Taiwan packs a great deal into one island. One day might begin with mountain hikes or hot springs and end at a buzzing night market filled with steaming dumplings and bubble tea. Taipei draws visitors with its mix of temples, design shops and lively food scene, though much of Taiwan’s charm lies beyond the capital. Coastal towns, forested peaks and quieter villages give the island a wonderfully balanced feel. Warm, welcoming and easy to travel through, Taiwan tends to surprise people in the best possible way.
