When visiting Taiwan’s relaxing hot springs and the mysterious Outlying Islands that give Taiwan its otherworldly atmosphere, you will be transported to a unique green paradise. Make sure to get to know Taiwan’s aboriginal tribes, that lived there long before the Hans arrived from China, and infuse yourself with their colorful and vibrant traditions. No matter if you’re relaxing in a hot spring, hiking up a mountain or enjoying the lantern festival, someone will always greet you with a smile in Taiwan.
