Kinmen, Matsu, Orchid Island, Green Island…The outlying islands offer an extraordinary combination of traditional culture, some of Taiwan’s finest old architecture, and beautiful natural scenery, yet most of them are still an unknown quantity to both locals and foreign visitors alike. The Islands of Taiwan by Richard Saunders is the first and only English-language guide book devoted to these endlessly fascinating yet often overlooked corners of the ROC. The book features in-depth coverage of more than thirty islands, including detailed information on culture and history as well as sights and attractions, plus recommended food and accommodation options.
Richard Saunders is well-known in Taiwan for his travel guides, having also authored five other books on the delights of the island. A keen hiker, Richard has the perfect combination of a love of travel and a keen observational eye. The Islands of Taiwan is an essential read for anyone wanting to visit these often-overlooked Asian gems.
