The island nation of Taiwan is perhaps best known in the West as one of the Asian tiger economies and cold war hotspot. It is seldom highlighted as a tourist destination. At the time of first writing, it was long-time resident Gary Heath's novel concept to explore Taiwan in depth as a non-specialist yet serious observer. This third edition of his classic Travels in Taiwan is a timely reminder of democratic Taiwan's stunning scenery and rich culture. On six separate and arduous trips the author deliberately headed for the areas neglected by other travel journalists in a singular feat of endurance and sustained curiosity. The engaging and lively account of his solitary journey abounds in descriptions of local geography and wildlife, and includes numerous encounters with Native (aboriginal) Taiwanese people.
