It is renowned for its enchanting blend of traditional and modern culture. Apart from for its cuisine, hot springs, museums, scenery and temples, Taiwan is also famous for the warmheartedness of the locals, which is truly the country’s best attraction. In 2015, Taiwan is selected to be one of the 10 best-value holiday destinations.
