What is Taiwan (Insight guides) about?
To the thousands of settlers who sailed here from mainland China, it was Bao Dao - Treasure Island. To the ancient Portuguese mariners, it was Isle Formosa - the Beautiful Island. To the modern magnates of industry and trade, it's known as Taiwan, Inc. In fact, contemporary Taiwan measures up to all three of its nicknames. The treasures that are China's culture, art and religion have been preserved in Taiwan's museums and temples, and continue to flourish in its cities. The beauty of nature is on display in valleys and on golden beaches. And Taiwan's hardworking people produce a cornucopia of merchandise that makes the island one of the world's great shopping emporiums. In mroe than 320 pages of brilliant color photography and scintillating text, Insight Guide: Taiwan captures all the treasures and beauty of this unique island. Her, Apa Prouctions team of scholars, journalists and photographers put an end to the mysteries and miscconceptions that surround Taiwan.
