Your Questions About Taiwan Vacation
Chris asks…Attractions for my summer vacation in Taiwan?I will go to Taiwan for my summer vacation. Is there any recommended attractions and hotels?Yaz answers:Assuming you have two weeks, a good budget, and no particular goal beyond just seeing the island, then one suggested approach would be to focus on three general areas: 1) urban society and culture; 2) the ocean, and 3) the mountains.
To cover these areas, I'd recommend Taipei, Hualian, Tainan, and Kaohsiung. The best hotels in Taipei are Westin, Sherwood, Formosa Regent, and Far East Plaza. Mid-range places include Howard Plaza,
