Before COVID, tourism to Taiwan was driven by groups from China, which peaked at around 4 million arrivals a year.

That changed under President Tsai Ing-wen, whose government strengthened ties with the West, prompting Beijing to tighten visa approvals for travel to Taiwan.

As Chinese visitor numbers fell sharply, in their place came independent tourists from more than 60 countries whose travel to Taiwan was made easier, including Australia.

Have you taken advantage of Australians' visa-free entry to Taiwan? What drew you there?

Taiwan redrawn by its rivers.

Orange rivers flow west into the Taiwan Strait, while green rivers run east toward the Pacific. Together, they trace the island’s central water divide, shaped by Taiwan’s rugged mountain spine.

This map also has a personal note: it was the very first one I created and the starting point for Eyes on Taiwan and Taiwan Maps & Dataviz.

Can human beings learn from history about the impact of any war?

1973 年，第一次石油危機爆發，
物價全面攀升，台灣經濟受到重擊。

時任行政院長的經國先生，
向來對物價極度關注。
他發現敏感性物資的批發價格
已較前一年同期上漲 37%，
對許多軍公教與低收入家庭，
衝擊已非常明顯。

他語氣堅決的說：
「囤積居奇是趁火打劫的行為，
危害國家社會，也危害民眾利益，
政府絕不容許這種現象存在。」

他指出，
當前日用品漲價，人為因素大於經濟因素，
商人想多賺，消費者想多囤，
因而助長了漲風。

政府已迅速採取因應措施，
目前日用品並不缺貨，也不缺原料。
政府對於民生必需品，已掌握大量物資，
不但可供今年，而且掌握明年需要的物資，
如棉花、黃豆、玉米、小麥、廢鐵等，
都可充分供應民眾。

行政院會通過「穩定物價十一項措施」。
對於仍明知故犯、囤積居奇、企圖牟取暴利者，
政府要求嚴格檢舉，並依法偵辦。

在這場漲風中，
經國先生與經濟部長孫運璿
攜手成功穩住了全台的物價。

He much do you know about Taiwan?

Portuguese explorers reached Taiwan in 1542-1544. They were so impressed by its beauty that they called the island “Ilha Formosa” — literally, “beautiful island.”

Anyone who has had the chance to visit Taiwan and experience its nature will likely agree with this name.
