Thought I’d share a great article written about Taiwan.
Indeed a unfairly underrated destination that is too often overlooked. Yet it has so much to offer, chief among which is the food. But like the NY Times, which ranked Taiwan as the #11 place to visit in 2014, said, its urban/rural within 1 hour of each other. Outdoors activities to great indoor fun, as well as friendly people, exceptional public transportation, and compared to some glitzy neighbors, Taiwan is cheap!
Anyways, here is the Guardian article, its a quick and easy read but gives a great summary and overview.
