DID YOU KNOW?

High Speed Rail

Taiwan has its own high speed railway with 12 stops over 220 miles. A journey from Taipei in the north to Kaohsiung in the south (similar to London-Lancaster) takes 90 minutes and only costs £38.

Democracy

In the 20th century Taiwanese struggled to establish democracy. After 42 years of martial law ended in 1991, Taiwanese won the right to govern themselves and elect their own President and legislators.

Cuisine

Taiwan is known across Asia as the country that has the greatest variety of food and cuisine. Other nations have their own tasty specialities, as does Taiwan, but nowhere else offers them all in one place.

Sovereignty

Taiwan has its own currency, post office, armed forces, coast guard, customs, health care system, taxation system, national power infrastructure, education system, Parliament, President, & elections.
