The Best Of Taiwan

Season 12, Episode 4 of 8

Why Taiwan? That is a question uninitiated visitors to Taiwan may ask. Beginning with its Portuguese discoverers, who called it Isla Formosa, Beautiful Isle; they will soon find there is much in Taiwan to enjoy. With close to 1,000 miles of coastline to stroll, 286 mountain peaks over 9,000 feet to climb, 10 islands to explore, countless festivals to celebrate and 14 aboriginal groups to meet, Taiwan is a wondrous land with an abundance of surprising things to do, see and experience. Joseph has covered the island from every angle. He's taken in the island by rail, reveled in its natural treasures, sampled its unique foods and drinks, combed through its night markets, explored its islands, participated in spiritual and cultural festivals and celebrated with its people. In his latest Taiwan episode Joseph dips into his previous Taiwan adventures, picks the best of his experiences and answers the question, "Why Taiwan?"
