I'm from Vancouver (🇨🇦) and I think Taiwan is the best place on earth.

The title says it all. My partner has relatives here. It's my second time visiting and I'm convinced Taiwan is the best place on earth. The food is incredible, the night markets are astounding, the transit system is phenomenal, the people are so nice, the plant life is the greenest/healthiest I've seen anywhere I've been.

I appreciate and respect the unique urban planning and architecture everywhere. Everything seems so well kept, maintained and well taken care of. On the other hand, I appreciate the old buildings that add history and character to such modern and technologically advanced cities.

The fruit! Oh my GOD the fruit and all the food.. words cannot describe the bliss experienced every day from this alone.

The art all over the city is stunning, unique and eye catching and it feels like all the municipalities have serious respect for the arts.

The trails and hikes hidden all over the country never cease to amaze me. Never in my life have I seen so many shades of deep, lush green. It's as though life is bursting out of every crack and corner of this country; even in the middle of the city! Every day I feel stiff and sore from walking and exploring but I can't bear to waste one minute of my time here.

Everyone seems very active as well, especially elderly people! This inspires me to take my own fitness more seriously even if it means doing small things every day.

I've been all over North America, some parts of Europe, Asia and I'm convinced Taiwan is the best place on earth. Every morning I wake up I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. I have barely any interest anymore in going anywhere else in the world and I only want to come back to Taiwan over and over again to experience everything the country has to offer.

Much respect and thank you to Taiwan! I hope you know how special you make travellers feel when they come here. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
