Operating under the official name of the 'Republic of China' (ROC), Taiwan is an alluring East Asian destination resting at the junction of the East and South China Seas. Condensed within its 35,808 square kilometre landscape is an abundance of sights, sounds and experiences waiting to be explored. Taiwan has a diverse population, with 23.9 million inhabitants infused with a mix of cultures resulting from a fascinating history stretching back over 25,000 years.

From the early settlement of Taiwanese indigenous peoples, through large-scale Han Chinese immigration under Dutch and Chinese rule and into a long period under Japanese administration, Taiwan was finally reclaimed by the ROC in 1945. Following this whirlwind trajectory, this island gem morphed from a sleepy outpost into a buzzing hub of growth, earning the title 'Taiwan Miracle' in the 1960s, marking their escalation into a global economic power specialising in steel, electronics, and chemical manufacturing.

Operating as a feisty democracy, Taiwan holds a precarious political position, maintaining their individuality from mainland China and engaging in international affairs under the compromise name of 'Chinese Taipei'. Despite the complexities, this miraculous island nation perseveres, stunning with its rich tapestry of cultural allure, bustling urban landscapes, and abundant natural beauty.

When to visit Taiwan

Taiwan is an exquisite year-round destination, offering visitors a myriad of unique experiences to explore. From sipping oolong tea at a lush plantation in the warming spring months or basking under the pink cherry blossoms during cool trips in January or February, to unwinding in soothing hot springs in the depths of winter, Taiwan ensures an unforgettable encounter in any season.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the autumn months from September to November usually offer the most pleasant weather for hiking through nature reserves and marvelling at the fall foliage from a scenic train ride. Those who prefer urban adventures can find a bustling metropolis waiting to reveal its secrets during the slightly cooler time between June and August. No matter the time of the visit, Taiwan's boundless beauty and diverse offerings promise an exotic getaway like no other.
