Taiwan, an island in the Pacific Ocean, is an attractive country with a name “Formosa”, which means beautiful. “We are proud of our natural sceneries, high mountains and beautiful beaches” she says. The people mainly speak Mandarin, however, there are more languages existing on the island. Aboriginal people have their own languages and traditional customs.

Taiwanese natives are most proud of the people and food. They are enthusiastic and kind to foreigners, something many travelers can attest to. Hsu-Tien says that the food is the one thing that she misses the most! Stinky tofu, beef noodle, pig blood cake, rice cake, oyster omelet, bubble tea – there’s so many choices! You can find many delicious foods at the night market, which is unique as it only exists in Taiwan. If you plan to visit the country, night markets should be put on the top of your “place to visit list” says Hsu-Tien.
