war decades ago. In addition to the beautiful natural

setting provided, above six National Parks also offer

great ecological environment for tourists. The

Dongsha Atoll Marine National Park was

established in January 2007 at the north tip of the

South China Sea, marking the southern portal to the

Taiwan Strait. The atoll has a unique white sand

landscape formed of coral and shell.

Besides, National Palace Museum, located in

outskirt of Taipei City, is home to essence of the

five-thousand-year Chinese history. It has the finest collections of Chinese Arts, providing an

eye-opening experience of Chinese culture. Taiwan is somewhere you can experience the

amazement of Chinese culture.
