It was such a great month to spend in Taiwan and get to know their culture, the people, the country and their tourism industry. Luckily, we had 4 weekends to travel around and as Taiwan is not a big country, we ewer able to cover most of it due an amazing public transportation of bicycles, busses, taxies, underground metro and high-speed train allowing to travel across the entire country in less than 3.5 hours.
