			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taiwan is a place that you can see beautiful women who look younger than any other women in other countries. You cannot recognize their age, because of their beauty. Even they are in the mid-40&#8242;s or 50&#8242;s, you can guess that they are still between the age of twenty to thirty.</p>
<p>Taiwanese women are so cute and friendly, especially to foreign men. They love to develop their relationships to foreigners like guiding them anywhere in the city, or talking about their life and culture here in Taiwan. When foreign men saw a Taiwanese girl for the first time, they become attracted and inviting them to a date. Dating in Taiwan are much different than what you experienced in your own country. You may feel something different to these Taiwanese women, because of their beauty in terms of skin. Taiwan has some anti aging products which are so effective that make them feel young and beautiful, and it will attract lots of men on Taiwan and the rest of the world. If we compare maintaining an anti aging product between a Taiwanese and an American, we can say that these products are more effective to a Taiwanese than an American. When you search in the internet about Taiwanese women, you might feel something different about them, and you want to have a good relationship between you and a Taiwanese girl. If there are any problems on dating Taiwanese women, there are lots of Taiwan dating guide books and articles online to read and apply. It may help a lot to improve the relationship of both a Taiwanese woman and a foreign guy, either friendly or in love with each other.</p>
<p>Most Asian countries are full of beautiful and young aged women like Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Thailand and China. Sometimes, we do not understand why they are more beautiful than English-speaking women. We can say it is because of the ethnicity and race, and we cannot change it. More and more men from English-speaking countries are spending their money to fly across any Asian country just to date with these beautiful women, whether friendly or in a relationship. These men wants them to be their girlfriend, and we can see that both a foreign man and a Taiwanese girl are holding hands while walking around the park or in a mall. Taiwanese women are something special just like other Asian countries, as foreigners cannot resist themselves to develop their relationship to Taiwanese women. It is like they finally found their dream girl to date with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As most people live in the western portion of Taiwan, that is where the greatest concentration of roads and railway systems are located. These roads and railway systems are well-developed. The government-owned airline in Taiwan is China Airlines. The largest airport in Taiwan can be found outside T&#8217;aipei and is the Chiang Kai-shek International Airport, with another international airport located in southernTaiwan at Kaohsiung. The main ports in Taiwan are Chilung, Kaohsiung, Hualien, Suao and T&#8217;aishung.</p>
<p>There are four classes of railway carriages – economic class Fu-shing, class Jue-kuan, and the highest class Tsi-chiang. A traveler can choose what class to use depending on time and money amount, as well as his purposes of a trip. Besides, there are short railroad routes, such as A-li, Gigi, Ping-shi, and Nei-wan. Tourists who visit Taiwan usually use short railroad routes in order to have more time for seeing more sights for a short period of time.It is necessary to note that internal airlines are a popular kind of transport in Taiwan. There is an active air service between large cities in Taiwan.</p>
<p>Flights are as popular as tours on buses. The underground is the most convenient type of transport. There are six lines of the underground in Taiwan. The price of a ticket is about 20-60 monetary units in the national currency. Taxi is available in all large cities. The journey price is 70Taiwan dollars for the first kilometer and five new Taiwan dollars for every 300 meters. On the whole, the taxi price in all main cities of Taiwan is set up by a municipal corporation. Consequently, the price can be different in this or that city. However, it is possible to set up a fixed price without the real meter record in long country trips.</p>
<p>There are all possible kinds of transport in Taiwan. However, there some recommendations that you should know before visiting Taiwan. There is an inland system of railroads which includes short railroad routes. These short routes are used by tourists to see more for a short period of time. As it can be very difficult to buy railroad tickets during a holiday, it is recommended to order tickets 14 days before a trip via phone or the Internet. Internal airlines are the other kind of transport that is very convenient to use.</p>
<p>Motor-cycles and bicycles are a very popular kind of transport in Taiwan. Bicycles are usually used within the campus. Many universities have special parking zones for motor-cycles and bicycles. If you are going to use a taxi you should know that additional 5 newTaiwan dollars are taken for every 2 minutes of stoppage and the general price of a trip increases at 20% after 11PM. Besides, additional 10 newTaiwan dollars are taken for a call and baggage placing. Summarizing, there are all possible kinds of transport in Taiwan. Consequently, you can choose any kind of transport that is convenient for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, has evolved through many stages since its founding in the eighteenth century. Rice fields have yielded to skyscrapers, and a modern, commercial city of millions has grown out of once quiet settlements. After climbing 508 metres up the Taipei 101 tower, the highest structure in the world, it can be seen easily from anywhere in the city, one can look down on the genuine Taipei amidst all the modern buildings: temples, markets, the National Palace Museum and in between them, the many old streets.</p>
<p>There was a swamp at the site of Taipei about 300 years ago, right where one of Asia&#8217;s most modern cities now stands. Only the Pingpu, the original people of Formosa, who lived in the higher lying regions around the Taipei Basin, were able to reach this area by canoe. Han Chinese from China came later to fish and trade, but they stayed on the banks of the Tarsui River and did not venture into the area of modern Taipei. In 1709, a Chinese farmer named Chen Lai Chang from Chuanchou laid the foundations of a farm house in Takala, which is now central Taipei. From that point onwards, the number of settlers continually grew. The original settlement was known as Manka.</p>
<p>From Manka to Tataocheng: The administration of Manka and the surrounding area was mainly handled by immigrants from various parts of mainland China. Because of differing views regarding the future of the administrative structure, tensions between the residents soon escalated. The violent confrontations that resulted came to an end in 1823.</p>
<p>One of the groups that was defeated fled from Manka, on the bank of the Tamsui River, to Tataocheng. There they began to make the land farmable land laid the foundations for a flourishing community. Tataocheng surpassed Manka in the nineteenth century, and became the centre of Taipei Prefecture in 1875.</p>
<p>Fast modernisation: When the Japanese colonised Taipei in 1895, they built their main district in Taipei, and the city continued to develop steadily thereafter, even after the departure of the occupiers in 1945 and after the break with mainland China. Within a hundred years, the once rural district had developed into the administrative, economic and cultural centre of Taiwan.</p>
<p>Manka, Tataocheng and Chengnei have all lost their original appearance, but a number of historically important sites have been preserved, including the Lin Family Villa and Garden, once the home of a very powerful clan in the nineteenth century, as well as the Peace Park and the 1919 Presidential Palace.</p>
<p>Modern city with established traditions: Today, all glass office high rises, luxury condominiums and modern shopping districts are situated along wide, tree lined boulevards. Elegant restaurants, stylish nightclubs and appearances by international stars are all part of people&#8217;s lives. Yet the traditional culture and way of life carries on below the contemporary surface.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main island of Taiwan, also known as Formosa Formosa, meaning &#8220;beautiful island&#8221;, is located in East Asia off the coast of mainland China, southwest of the main islands of Japan but directly west of the end of Japan&#8217;s Ryukyu Islands, and north-northwest of the Philippines. It is bound to the east by the Pacific Ocean, to the south by the South China Sea and the Luzon Strait, to the west by the Taiwan Strait and to the north by the East China Sea. Here are some places to visit in Taiwan:</p>
<p>1. Mt. Yushan &#8211; Don&#8217;t miss seeing the Jade Mountain, Mt. Yushan, which is Northeastern Asia&#8217;s highest peak. Exercise your limbs by climbing this 3,952-meter-high mountain. You&#8217;ll be treated to crisp mountain air and a breathtaking view at the top.</p>
<p>2.  Yang Min Shan National Park &#8211; This a favorite place due to its hot springs, wonderful flora and wildlife and spas. Its mineral springs are popular with people from Taipei. Just 45 minutes by bus or 70 minutes by train, visitors can go hiking or have a picnic here.</p>
<p>3. Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall &#8211; This palatial structure is also known as the National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. Built to commemorate Chiang Kai Shek, the building represents the flag of Taiwan with its blue roofs, red flowerbeds, and white walls. Lush gardens flank the hall, and it is located close to the National Theatre and National Concert Hall.</p>
<p>4.  Penghu &#8211;  Penghu is an archipelago of 64 islands between Taiwan and the mainland. It has sandy beaches, fishing villages, and delicious seafood. Its only city of Makung is a beautiful place with an outdoor market, fishing harbor, and temples.</p>
<p>5.Tienhsiang &#8211; Located in Tienhsiang is the Taroko Gorge, probably Taiwan&#8217;s most beautiful tourist attraction. It is 19 km long with cliffs dropping away to a rushing river of water. The Eternal Spring Shrine straddles a waterfall and is a memorial to the 450 workers who died constructing the Taroko Highway.</p>
<p>6. Lung Shan Temple &#8211; Also known as the Dragon Mountain Temple, this temple is very impressive for its architecture and religious practices where worshippers give offerings to the various gods here, the main one being the Goddess of Mercy. Offerings such as fruit, flowers, and money are made here to the deities, and this is done by burning paper money or putting it in the offertory box. The temple is situated in the Wanhua district, just near the Huashi Night Market.</p>
<p>7.  Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall &#8211; Don&#8217;t miss this great hall where a 30-foot statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who played a pivotal role in Taiwanese history, adorns the entrance. Tourists can watch the changing of the guard. They can also watch world-class shows in the theatre on the upper floors.</p>
<p>8. The National Palace Museum &#8211; Comparable to the best museums in the world like the Louvre, the National Palace Museum contains one of the most extensive collections of Chinese artifacts . It is twin to the Palace Museum in Beijing, which was split in twain by the civil war, which also resulted in the formation of Taiwan. It contains masterpieces which provide glimpses of Chinese craftsmanship.</p>
<p>For many good reasons to you come Taiwan. Come here you see a lot of the beautiful islands or you can mountain climb, Taiwan captivates everyone; a vacation here is an experience you will want to repeat time and time again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a sudden growth in Taiwan sports recreation and group activities were and are especially popular. A large number of teams were created to compete against each other, often organised by schools, local companies and government offices. Basketball and softball in particular have become extremely popular, though soccer and baseball have only had limited take up so far.</p>
<p>Taiwan sports recreation has also seen a good take up or racquet and bat sports, with tennis, badminton, and table tennis being especially popular. Water has also played an important role in Taiwan sports recreation growth, and are the most popular sports activities. Swimming and diving in particular have proved to be popular in the sea and in swimming pools. Weekends see the seas and lakes of Taiwan packed as people relax by windsurfing, yachting, canoeing, fishing and paragliding.</p>
<p>Fishing is one of the biggest growing sports activities in Taiwan, although golf is taking over in popularity. World class golf courses are increasingly appearing across the island, and the best clubs have a long waiting list of those wishing to join. Taiwan has invested a lot of money in all of its recreational facilities; this is obvious in the overall quality of the golf courses and golf clubs.</p>
<p>Taiwan sports recreation is also taken up with more strenuous activities as hiking and mountain climbing. It appears that the Taiwanese in their leisure time like nothing more than hiking up the country&#8217;s mountains. Taiwan is relatively famous for its hills and mountains and thousands leave the cities each weekend to take in the landscape and try trekking up the slopes.</p>
<p>Taiwan sports recreation is a growing pastime amongst the Taiwanese who find themselves with more spare time than they ever had before. As a result there has been a growth in the provision of equipment and supplies to feed the activities. This has seen the manufacturing of sports equipment become one of the growth areas within the Taiwanese economy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taiwan herbal medicine is a major aspect of traditional Chinese herbal medicine, which focuses on restoring a balance of energy, body, and spirit to maintain health rather than treating a particular disease or medical condition.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are almost no differences between houses people live in Taiwan now and then. There are old houses and new houses in every city in Taiwan. It is necessary to note that one-storeyed buildings prevail over multi-storeyed ones. If you are going to study in Taiwan, you will have to decide where to live: on a university campus or in some other place. In Taiwan houses do not differ greatly from average houses in Europe. The modern houses are seen near old ones. It is necessary to point out that the mixed architecture styles can be found everywhere in Taiwan.</p>
<p>Taiwanese architecture is composed of variety of styles. The old traditional architectural model of houses in Taiwan still exists here. However, traditional architectural features of Taiwanese style become unimportant when entertaining and commercial institutions, such as shops and theaters, are built. We should emphasize that modern Taiwanese architecture unites traditional Taiwanese and European architecture styles. There appear buildings in European style, such as buildings of foreign consulates, foreign concessions, banks, hotels and clubs in big cities. Consequently, the houses people live in Taiwan now and then are constantly changing with the development of international contacts. </p>
<p>First of all, any visit of a house in Taiwan starts from a meeting and a greeting. In Taiwan people, as a rule, shake hands with each other when they meet. Bows are a popular tradition in Korea and Japan, but not in Taiwan. Some very official cases are exceptions from this rule, where people bow when they meet. When you enter somebody’s house in Taiwan you should remember to take off your shoes. There are usually special slippers for guests in any house. This is a tradition in Taiwan to welcome one&#8217;s guests. Consequently, if you are going to visit Taiwan remember what foot-wear to take. Sandals are not the best choice for you to wear to a library or other institutions.</p>
