Taiwan is called Treasure Island for its beautiful natural sights and abundant products.

With a fluctuant landform and its characteristic landscapes, the island has become a highly popular destination and is especially renowned for its grand mountains. If you will visit just one of these mountains, you should make it Mt. Yushan (Jade Mountain), which has the highest peak in the northeastern Asia. Seashore sightseeing is an activity not to miss in Taiwan. The surf and wind have eroded the seaboard bays and capes, wind has blasted rocks, and marine erosion has shaped the landform; together creating glamorous seashores for tourists' aesthetic enjoyment. Additionally, the various cultural relics, many theme parks and bathing beaches enrich the sightseeing resources even further. Apart from the majestic mountains, green forests, bright sunshine, beautiful seacoast and splendid cultural and historical sights, you can also enjoy a modern Taiwan and its friendly people, comfortable weather, convenient transportation and superior tourist facilities.
