Taiwan, Province of China cruises

If your cruise stops in Taiwan, ports of call may include Hualien, Kaohsiung, and the capital city of Taipei, which is the northernmost Taiwanese port. Like many cities in South East Asia, Taipei blends ancient and modern, with high-rise buildings side-by-side with traditional architecture. A stunning example of this blend is the Taipei International Finance Centre, the second tallest skyscraper in the world, designed to resemble a bamboo branch. Arriving at the eastern port city of Hualien by sea is a treat that’s not to be missed. At night the city is alive with sparkling lights; during the day, the view of the nearby Central Mountain Range is simply stunning. Kaohsiung is one of Taiwan’s most attractive cities in South-East Asia, thanks to attractions such as the Lotus Lake, which is scattered with tiny temples and shrines.
