Usually when people think of Taiwan, they picture famous landmarks, such as the iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper. After spending three months in Taiwan, however, I found that some of my most memorable experiences took place during my travels to the less modernized and less crowded areas around the beautiful island. These pictures are just a few of many that will always remind me of the places, people, cuisines, religions, and languages that I encountered on my journey. Here is a taste of what one would miss if under the impression that the sprawling northern city of Taipei is all that Taiwan has to offer.
