TAIWAN AWAY FIVE NIGHT TOURTAIWAN vs AUSTRALIA
15 October 2019 THE CAMPAIGN TO 2022 QATAR WORLD CUP BEGINS!
Following our highly successful Thailand & Japan Away Tours...apart from the result....we're delighted to launch our new tour to Taiwan. Taiwan lies on the western edge of the Pacific "rim of fire," and continuous tectonic movements have created majestic peaks, rolling hills and plains, basins, coastlines, and other natural landscapes. Taiwan's tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate climates provide clear differentiation between the different seasons. The capital Taipei is a modern metropolis with Japanese colonial lanes, busy shopping streets and contemporary buildings. The skyline is crowned by the 509m-tall, bamboo-shaped Taipei 101 skyscraper, with upscale shops at the base and a rapid elevator to an observatory near the top. Taipei is also known for its lively street-food scene and many night markets, making it an ideal destination for us to visit. ITINERARY
