Government

• Government Information Office, Republic of China (Taiwan).  "The island of Taiwan offers sunny beaches, richly forested mountains, sleepy country sides. Temples and monuments of both Chinese and Japanese heritage mix with high-rises in cities that keep going until dawn. Dazzling festivals, luxuriant hot springs, delectable dining - they all lie in store.
  
  Taiwan's diverse topography and culture, and its vibrant commercial environment, make it a choice destination for traveler and business visitor alike.
  
  Located roughly equidistant from Japan and Korea to the north, the Philippines to the south, and mainland China to the west, Taiwan makes a perfect launching point for further travels in East Asia.
  
  For most of the world, Taiwan is known for its manufactured goods, and for its continuing saga of diplomatic struggle, but the real Taiwan lies unexplored. So take a quick look - there's plenty to discover."
