Any time people mention cities in Taiwan I can’t help but begin talking about how incredibly underrated it is to visit. I loved visiting the cities in Taiwan, and can’t wait to go back again.
While Taiwan’s status as part of China, its own country, or even it being the real China remains murky, one thing that is certain is that there are tons of unique things to see and do when you visit.
The total size is about the same size as the US state of South Carolina, but has many more people packed in. The total population of Taiwan is about 23 million.
