| Taiwan, meaning “Terraced Bay”
is located about 100 miles off the coast of mainland China.
This economically powerful island is full of many wonders, and
outside the ‘hustle and bustle’ of the city (Taipei
being the largest) it is physically stunning. Adventure
woman recommends trying the traditional city markets, the Maokong
Gondola, and a trip up Taipei 101; the world’s tallest
building with the world’s fastest elevators. Outside
the city limits try Tarko National Park with its high mountain
gorge scenery. You’ll soon understand why the Portuguese
sailors in the 1600s named this island, ‘Formosa;’
meaning beautiful. |
