Thank you for introducing Taiwan. I am from Taiwan. Little island full of very friendly kind people. Beautiful food, beautiful scenery. I love my beautiful country.
I love taiwan
What a boring introduction to Taiwan.
A beautiful province of China. Welcome to Taiwan.
這尼姑竟然會講英文
Haha. Only 17 countries take Taiwan's money.😂😂
Taiwan steals patents from everywhere and sells them to China.
自由中國中華民國臺灣省萬歲！打倒習近平獨裁者！消滅所有中共。
Taiwan is its own independent country!

Love from a Country that looks far different than yours, Bangladesh.
That art center reminds me of space craft like Orville…lol

Emperor Xi is coming for you
A 24 year old Mexican American , born in Los Angeles. I spend 4 months living and teaching English at an elementary school in the DaZhi area in 2018 while still in college(internship). I loved it . Will go back again one day. I loved Taipei , especially eating skewers and nightmarket food . Visiting Yilan for an epic night of shrimp fishing ahha . Best Club for young college foreigners and Taiwan students is “Triangle” club/bar in Maji Square . On the redline , get off at Yuanshan . Super close . Haha they close at 4am and 3 bottles plus a plethora of shots all for $200 USD split between a couple of us haha
Very under rated destination! Spent several years working there and enjoyed every minute.
Great place to go. They have new rail line to the airport and cities look modern. Try MOS Burger! They have huge menus in Taiwan.
This is terrible and racist. Not a word about the indigenous population? They deserve at least a sentence.
Your English is very British,what you're saying is clear and perfect, i love it,many thanks.
Soy de China, me encanta Taiwan.
Taiwan is an extremely special place in asia and deserves the support of the west.
Beautiful country!
Savor it. In a few years BBC reporters will need a visa to get there.
the real china.. luv from india
Amazing country
You failed to mention the indigenous people of Taiwan, the Taiwanese Aboriginals, first peoples of Taiwan.
Taiwan is part of Republic of 'China'. Japanese are gone so stop dreaming you pro-independence garbages.
Despite intermarriage w/indigenous population, TW is over 98% Han Chinese and adheres to the same culture/customs as the mainland, particularly Confucianism (filial piety, ancestral worship, social harmony, etc). Majority of population desires peace, safety, social stability, and economic prosperity. If China can provide that over western style 'democracy,' theyre all for it.
I really love this video. Taiwan is so beautiful and people there are kindly. I expect to travel there someday.
Convincingly forget to mentions how the KMT slaughtered the native Taiwanese when they were there
In 1947, China army into Taiwan and killed over 50,000 Taiwanese eslites.
Taiwan is a country where you can express your opinions freely.
East & West? WRONG< East, modernized, not Western, but democratic, free, modern, high tech
