I am proud of Taiwan’s vast tourism resources. With its breathtaking scenery, rich cultures, fun activities, and mouth-watering delicacies, I think Taiwan has great potential to be on the ultimate travel bucket list. Take my favorite county, Hualien, for example. Nicknamed Taiwan's back garden, Hualien seems to have something for everyone. For those outdoor lovers, they can set off to Hualien Harbor, where the boats will take them out for an exciting two-hour dolphin watching trip. Seeing the naughty creatures leap high in the air, play in the waves and race with the ship is indeed an unforgettable sight. After that, they are welcome to visit the magnificent Taroko Gorge. This towering marble-walled canyon carved out by the blue-green Liwu River has long been praised as one of Asia's picturesque wonders. As for those who are fond of aboriginal culture and history, Hualien is the right place for them because it has the most concentrated tribes such as Amis or Rukai. To explore and experience the authentic tribal customs, they can join the harvest festivals taking place every summer. The highlights of the celebration include sampling the signature dishes such as roasted game meat and mochi as well as dancing with the locals to the strong beats. I am confident that tourists can satisfy their eyes, their souls and their taste buds in one trip to Hualien.
To promote Taiwan internationally, I will first suggest that the Tourism Bureau invite famous directors, star-studded cast and outstanding production teams to shoot films in Taiwan. As those films are released, Taiwan will gain lots of exposure to global audience. Better yet, the die-hard fans of the movies will become potential visitors to Taiwan. Besides, the authority can hold competitions to challenge the public to submit five-minute short films to introduce their favorite less-traveled sites. After the result is announced, the award winners will be recruited to help tourists organize their trips. Above all, information from the travel guides, apps, maps and road signs should be up-to-date and written in different languages, free of spelling and grammatical errors. I hope that my suggestions can help keep Taiwan’s tourism booming and make touring in Taiwan unlike any other (place).
