We recently confirmed numerous exciting tours and attractions. Below is
a sample of what you will experience in Taiwan.
Lungshan
Temple
 Lungshan Temple was built in 1738 by
settlers from Fujian, China. It served as a place of worship and a
gathering place for the Chinese settlers, and is considered to be
classical architecture of Taiwanese Culture. It worships a mixture of
Buddhist, Taoist, and folk deities. Click here for more information.
National Palace Museum
 The National
Palace Museum in Taipei is home to over 650,000 pieces of
Chinese art and artifacts. Objects include treasures inherited from the
Sung, Yüan, Ming and Ch'ing dynasties. Much of the collections
