Taiwan may not be the first destination that comes to your mind when you plan your holidays, the image is often one of an industrious country, famed for its electronics manufacturing. But beyond business lies an island steeped in tradition, stunning scenery and incredible dining. Working with Chef Jimmy, a Taiwan native, we have built an itinerary that makes a visit to Taiwan a must do! We showcase the richness of the scenery from the foggy cliffs in the north of the island where caviar is available,<\/div>\n
