Ilha Formosa – Beautiful Island. This is what a group of Portuguese
sailors, said to have been the first Westerners to lay eyes on the
island, uttered upon seeing Taiwan
for the first time. We imagine they must have been pretty enamoured.
While not every Westerner has the same love-at-first-sight reaction to
Taiwan, our Portuguese seafaring friends were just the first of many.
With the lush mountains of Wulai, pulsating cities like Taipei, the
stunning basalt cliffs of Penghu , excellent hiking in Taroko Gorge, not
to mention some of the world’s best hot springs (we especially like the
Taian Hot Springs), Taiwan cuts a figure as one of the most diverse
destinations in Asia.
