Understand
Taiwan is home to more than 24 million people (2022). Although the vast majority of the population is ethnically Han Chinese, the indigenous Austronesian inhabitants maintain their own cultures, and the legacy of Japanese colonial rule still pervades much of Taiwanese life.
Japanese, Hongkongers and Southeast Asians enjoy taking short trips to Taiwan to enjoy its neighborly hospitality. Taiwan is home to some well-known international companies such as Acer, MSI, Asus, HTC, TSMC and Giant Bicycles, whose technologies are some of the most advanced in the world.

Perhaps due to its political ambiguity and lack of global presence, Taiwan has traditionally not been a significant destination for Westerners, though this is changing. Nevertheless tourists from Japan and Hong Kong have been visiting Taiwan in droves for a long time, and they are being joined by an increasing number of Koreans and Southeast Asians. The island is home to many cultural attractions, with an excellent selection right in the capital. Taipei is a bustling and modern metropolis, with ancient yet lively streets, and world-famous landmarks like Taipei 101. However, it's also home to the National Palace Museum, Zhongshan Hall, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall and the beautifully restored Bao'an Temple. Bao'an is just one of many striking temple complexes worth a visit. For more, try the Zushi Temple in Sanxia or the Mazu temple in Makung. The large Longshan Temple in Lukang and the Confucian Temples of Changhua and Tainan are fine choices too. Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan and therefore full of historic sites, especially colonial buildings, and including the Anping "Tree House" that's being slowly reclaimed by banyan trees. If you're looking for some deeper insights in Taiwan's history and culture, there's a wide range of museums to be explored, pretty much wherever you go.
This island is home to bustling cities with modern, high-tech infrastructure, and good transportation infrastructure means that getting around is easy. For those who have grown weary of the hus…

Taiwan is a food lover's paradise, and a popular culinary tourism destination for East and Southeast Asian tourists. While not as highly regarded as the food from Hong Kong due to the traditionally high status Cantonese cuisine holds in Chinese culture, Taiwanese food has become more respected.

中華民國是位於東亞的民主共和制國家，曾在國際上廣泛代表「中國」，現因實際控制領土範圍和相關政治狀況而被國際社會通稱為「臺灣」。目前中華民國政府實際統治範圍為臺灣、澎湖群島、福建沿海的金門列島、烏坵列嶼、馬祖列島（金門列島、烏坵列嶼及馬祖列島合稱金馬地區）、南海諸島的東沙群島、太平島和中洲礁，總計36,197平方公里。首都為臺北市，以人口和經濟總量計的最大城市為新北市，以轄區面積計的最大城市為高雄市。中華民國政府實轄區總人口約2,345萬，其中以漢族為最大族群，佔比達96.45%，其中又以闽南裔为主，而台灣原住民族佔比則為2.45%。國家語言為各固有族群使用之自然語言及臺灣手語，通用中華民國國語（現代標準漢語）、臺灣原住民諸語、閩南語（包含臺灣話與金門話）、客家語、閩東語（馬祖話）與莆仙語（烏坵話）等，書寫使用漢字；而據中華民國行政院公布的2020年人口及住宅普查結果，現時臺澎金馬66.3%的民眾在跟他人溝通時，主要使用語言是國語；而閩南語佔31.7%，客家語佔1.5%，其他語言則都低於1%。 辛亥革命後，中華民國於1912年1月1日在南京宣告成立，成為亞洲第一個得到國際廣泛承認的民主共和國。中華民國繼承清朝疆域，中央政權歷經北洋政府、國民政府、行憲政府之更迭。抗日戰爭勝利後，中華民國成為聯合國創始會員國及安理會常任理事國，並接收臺灣、澎湖群島及南海诸岛。1947年施行中華民國憲法，第二次國共內戰後失去對中国大陆的控制，中央政府於1949年底遷往臺灣。韓戰爆發後美軍協防台灣至1979年。1971年失去对中業島的控制後，中華民國有效統治臺澎金馬維持至今。1971年，中華民國在聯合國的中國代表席次被中華人民共和國取代，不再是联合国会员国，之後與世界大多數聯合國會員國斷交，成為有限承認國家。1991年5月1日，《動員戡亂時期臨時條款》廢止，實質恢復憲政。由於多次縣市改制及東、南沙群島轉交高雄市管理，現行行政區劃設有2省、6直轄市及22個縣市，其中省經過兩次組織調整，原省轄之政務已完全移交予中央政府。 韓戰爆發後因臺灣戰略位置重要，在美援幫助下經濟快速成長，當時被稱為亞洲四小龍之一，現今已被視為已開發國家。1980年代末起的一系列政治改革，使政黨生態從一黨專制演變為兩黨制，形成多元自由的社會。當前自由指數、民主指數以及女性參政率在世界各國名列前茅，且為亞洲第一個同性婚姻法制化的國家。
