First settled by indigenous communities, then by successive waves of settlers from Mainland China and later occupied by Japan for fifty years, Taiwan and its modern society is a product of this unique history. High-technology research parks housing world-leading computing firms like Acer and Asus coexist with traditional Buddhist and Daoist temples and their attendant parades and festivals. As farmers tend to their plots and fishermen unload their nets as they have for centuries, modern high-speed trains zoom by carrying passengers along nearly the entire length of the island in a mere 90 minutes. American Councils’ Taiwan programming allows participants to embrace this blend of the old and the new while exploring a wide range of cultural influences in one of Asia’s most vibrant democracies.
