Taiwan

Taiwan

 


 


 
I really like Taiwan, which are a island next to china, because of their food and night view.
Taiwan draws much of its culinary heritage from China, but to label it ‘Chinese food’ is an oversimplification.
When the first Han settlers came from China, the recipes and cooking styles they brought along met the ingredients and culinary traditions of Taiwan’s aboriginal peoples and became something new and different.
This new cuisine was further modified, first by new immigrants from other areas of China, and later by the Japanese who ruled the island for 50 years.
Seafood, sweet potatoes, taro root and green vegetables cooked very simply are at the heart of many traditional Taiwanese sit-down meals, while roadside stands and night market stalls offer variety worthy of its own story to those who enjoy to eat.
Taipei 101, formerly known as the Taipei World Financial Center, is a landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The building ranked officially as the world's tallest from 2004 until the opening of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010.
The tower has served as an icon of modern Taiwan ever since its opening, and received the 2004 Emporis Skyscraper Award. Fireworks launched from Taipei 101 feature prominently in international New Year's Eve broadcasts and the structure appears frequently in travel literature and international media.
