Travel in
TAIWAN
"Isla Formosa" |
In addition to Taiwan is a nice vacation destination, traveller should know something: (Books never mentioned)
1) If you prefer tranquility and quietness much more than bustle and hustle. Never go to Taipei city. But it sure has something you might feel interesting. Such like: tens of thousand motor scooters buzzing by or parked tightly in every corner of the city.
2) Do not consume too much time on eating! Taiwanese food(chinese food) is overwhilmingly famous all over the world. You can never imagine how Eating is important in Taiwan, you can easily buy "food""anytime and everywhere ",especially watch out the"Night Market" (The place where swamp with vendors at night)!
3) Don't be too astonished by the road sign(we "small" english letters below chinese characters)!You can buy maps easily at 24hrs convenient stores (7-11,K,Familimart ....etc) or book stores in and above all medium-sized cities or towns in short distance. But all travellers from western countries encounter a major problem: "You will find some spellings on the road sign differ from their spellings on your map." Well, not too worry,the spelling of those pronounciation will be unified soon.(My government said so."*smirk*").
4)
