Sometimes, the simplest things can actually give you the most memorable experiences. Let’s take being in Taiwan as an example. This small country just south of China contains some of the best – if not overlooked – things and activities in the world. Let’s check out some of the most simplest yet fun things to do in Taiwan.
Bubble Tea Galore
Do you know that the popular Bubble Tea delicacy actually came from Taiwan? This sweet nutritious drink, which is apparently enjoyed all throughout Asia, has a distinct and wonderful taste that will make you go back for more. Being the origin of this cool drink, Taiwan of course has the best of bubble tea tasting and making. Just try visiting any of Taiwan’s local markets. Vendors of this great refreshment can let you have all the different kinds of bubble tea to choose and taste from.
It’s a wonderful Beach world
Taiwan also holds some of the best, hole-in-the-wall (if this term’s applicable) beaches in the world. Kenting beach is a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike. The white sand beach and crystal clear water is the perfect place for all of the beach activities that you dream of. Want to snorkel down and see colorful fishes? Check. How about duking it out with the locals for a great game of beach volleyball? Check. Maybe you’d want to glide down a beachside hill and experience life as a sea gull (weird, I know). Check! These, and other simple yet fun activities can be done in the great beaches of Taiwan.
Moving Pictures are Pretty
If you consider yourself a movie junkie, then Taiwan’s just the place for you. This country is home to some of the best Asian movie stars and directors to have made it big in the world. Remember Shu Qi, the nimble and sexy co-star of Jason Statham in “The Transporter”? She’s Taiwanese. Or maybe you’re familiar with Takeshi Kaneshiro, famous for his multicultural movies like Wong Kar Wai’s Chungking Express? Again, he’s from Taiwan. Or perhaps you know of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (I mean, who doesn’t? It’s a great wuxia film!) and Brokeback Mountain? These award-winning films are all directed by a Taiwanese director, Ang Lee.
Taiwan holds a lot of secrets. From having started the Bubble Tea craze all over the world, having some of the world’s well-maintained and beautiful beaches, and creating Hollywood stars like Shu Qi, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Ang Lee, Taiwan has everything at its best.
