5 Reasons of Why You Should Come to Taiwan.
Why should you choose Taiwan as a must visit destination? Here is a list of 5 reasons for you to come visit.
1)Wide range of Delicacies
For all the foodies out there, if you want 24/7 experience of great food, you don't want to miss out on Taiwan. The thing that all Taiwanese are so excited about is food. Don't get us started on food, it can go on for days. We created the bubble tea. What more can I say?
Since a majority of Taiwanese practice Buddhism, we offer not just plant based diets, but Buddhism vegetarian diet as well. It is not easy to spot a vegan restaurant, but I will be showing you how to find them on my other blog. (Check the related posts) We even have vegetarian and herbal hot pots.
2) Great Fruits, Fresh Produce, and Tea
In summer, we have the best litchis and mangoes. Once we were the kingdom of banana. So all year round, but especially in summer, we can have bananas. There are strawberries that are naturally sweet as candy in spring. Not to mention the tropical ones like guavas, pineapples and passion fruits.
At the local farmers market, you will find a lot of gigantic potatoes, aubergines, and much more. You may even find novel vegetables.
Tea has been one of the most important commodities of Taiwan. So there is, of course, the tea ceremony and tea tasting. From black tea to oolong, we offer a wide range and high-quality tea for all the tea lovers out there.
3) People Some people find it hard to communicate with locals because we speak Mandarin and our own native language. We may not be fluent in English like I said in my introduction piece. (Click the related post for a crash course on Taiwan)
But we try to help people not just the foreigners but our neighbors as well. This is the reason and the only reason one will ever need to fall in love with Taiwan. It's the not so fluent in English that makes this reason come in third.
If you speak Mandarin, then communication shouldn't be a problem. Please note that Taiwanese Mandarin is a bit different from the Chinese Mandarin.
p.s. If you are interested in learning Taiwanese Mandarin phrases then head over to my blogger, where I will be sharing them with you.
4) Rich Oriental Culture
Confucianism influence our society so much. If you look close enough you will see it at every corner you turn. At the Confucius temple, you can even see the ceremony dated back centuries.
If you are lucky enough to be invited to an aboriginal tribe, you will also experience another side of Taiwan. This is definitely unique to Taiwan.
5) Unique Religion Practice
Our traditional religion is a mix of three different beliefs evolved throughout the centuries. If you find Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythology fascinating, then you don't want to miss meeting our gods and goddesses. How we worship our gods and communicate with them is unique, you don't see them often.
Our temples are also a part of our heritage. The architecture and plan all have their historical and practical reasons.
