The Heart of Asia
Both The Lalu and Sun Moon Lake had a very calming effect on me, and it was
with great reluctance that I left them behind for my flight back to Hong Kong. As a
first-time visitor to this stunning country, there was something reassuringly familiar
about the place. It’s similar to Hong Kong in a lot of ways, but very different in others.
I appreciated the expertise and the organisation that came with being on a guided
tour – not speaking Mandarin would have made the trip far more stressful if I’d
attempted it alone! The proximity to Hong Kong and the number of flights a day make
it possible to explore a little pocket of Taiwan over the space of a long weekend, and
that’s definitely something worth doing as often as you can.
