Publisher: Bradt Travel Guides

Book Description:
Written by an author who has lived in Taiwan for 19 years, Bradt’s brand-new Taiwan explores the island’s breathtaking mountains, bird-rich forests and quaint villages where folk religion thrives. Travellers are discovering there’s much more to Taiwan than high-tech gadgetry and a difficult relationship with China. Author Steven Crook leads visitors through a land where Chinese tradition lives on like nowhere else against a backdrop of northeast Asia’s highest mountains. Taiwan is one of the most crowded countries on Earth, but beyond the ocean of people and vehicles, far from the neon and noise that confronts new arrivals, there’s another world waiting to be discovered. This book is the guide for individuals who want more than the treasures of the National Palace Museum, the beaches of Kending, and the well-beaten trails of Alishan. Whether they aim to rough it on mountain peaks, observe age-old rituals in tucked-away temples or wallow in five-star comfort, Bradt’s Taiwan will lead visitors on an unforgettable journey through Asia’s newest destination.

Vignettes of Taiwan
Author: Joshua Samuel Brown
ISBN-10: 0971594082
ISBN-13: 9780971594081
Published: 2006-04-25
Publisher: ThingsAsian Press

Book Description:
When Joshua Samuel Brown first stepped out of the passenger terminal at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in Taiwan, he was a stranger in a humid land with insufficient funds, zero job prospects and an over packed suitcase. Like much else in his life up to that point, his decision to move to Taiwan was based largely on random occurrence and cosmic coincidence. He was twenty-four years old, thousands of miles away from home, and at that moment the happiest man alive. This anthology of short stories, travel essays, photographs, random meditations, and political meanderings grew out of his years on the island formerly known as Formosa.
