Taiwan is called Treasure Island for its beautiful natural sights and abundant products.
Ali Mountain and Sun Moon Lake are the most noted scenic areas that are dreamed to go by all visitors willing to Taiwan. Ali Mountain is indeed the general name of eighteen hills, famous for its five rare sites including the Sunrise, Forest Railway, Sacred Tree, Grand Sea of Clouds and the Flamboyant Cheery Blossom. Getting its name for the resemblance as a rhombus-shaped sun in the north section and a crescent in the south, the Sun Moon Lake (Ri Yue Tan) is the largest natural lake in Taiwan, located between Mt Yushan and Ali Mountain.
Seashore sightseeing is an activity not to miss in Taiwan. Its west coastline is gently sloping and holds many fine bathing beaches. 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, various cultural relics enrich the sightseeing resources even further. National Palace Museum collects tens of thousand culture relics from the Palace Museum in Beijing, Shenyang Imperial Palace in Liaoning and Rehe Imperial Palace (today's Mountain Resort and Its Outlying Temples of Chengde) in Hebei.
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. Gaoshan ethnic group accounts for over 300,000 of Taiwan's total population and its nine tribes have their own features. Comfortable weather, convenient transportation and superior tourist facilities are also valuable chips for Taiwan's Tourism.

I am going to Taiwan on 7 Oct till 11 Oct 2009, arriving in Taipei at noon. What would be the best way to cover Taiwan? I like history, culture and scenery. I have heard about Alishan. It is one place I would like to go. Can you suggest an itinerary for me? I have not booked any hotel yet, because I want to be flexible as to where I stop for the night. Is it convenient to get a hotel at each location, after a particular train/bus ride? I intend to travel by high speed train or buses. Also, do they have Muslim food in Taiwan, and where is that? Thank you.
