Your Taiwan Pre-Departure Guide
Everything you need to know before your trip to Taiwan
What’s Taiwan all about?
When Portuguese sailors sailed past Taiwan in the 1500s, they named it ‘Ilha Formosa’, meaning the beautiful isle, and not much has changed today.
Taiwan has a formidable natural beauty, from its flawless beaches and national parks to its impressive urban life, this little island once housed the world’s tallest building, Taipei 101.

A small island with a big attitude, many wonder what life is really like here: do people really go to night markets that often? How much tea do Taiwanese people drink? Does Taiwan have its own language? What is stinky tofu? Why is Taiwan known by so many names?
