Taiwan is an absolute gem of a country to explore. It’s a totally stunning island nation that’s got a little bit of something for every type of traveller to experience. If you’re into cities, you’ve got some totally vibrant cities like Taipei and the historic capital Tainan. Not only that, there is a huge swash of totally unspoilt mountain ranges, national parks, and beautiful coastlines with some of the best beaches in the region.
