About Taiwan
A strange dichotomy exists in Taiwan. Anyone who has visited the tiny country can attest to the strong contrasts that a modern industrialized cityscape can cause when it is squashed up against an ancient but thriving culture. It will be no surprise to someone who has been to Taiwan to see flourish up next to grand mountain range or being able to purchase traditional Taiwanese noodles from urban convenience stores. One on day, you can observe the inhabitants in the midst of sacred temple rituals while on the following day can join them for a day at the water park, plunging down a waterslide in rubber raft. Contrasts rule Taiwan and make it an exciting travel destination.
