Asian Excursion – Taiwan – The Heart of Asia

While enjoying the warm, friendly Taiwanese people and savoring the delectable food, Taiwan certainly lives up to being the Heart of Asia.

 

One cannot travel to Taipei and not visit the Original Din Tai Fung, the famous pork soup dumpling restaurant.  The famous dumplings are quite popular and require a wait, unless you arrive early.

While strolling the clean streets of Taipei, it is hard to miss:

-the landscape of the city

-the designated walking paths
