Anthropological Roots and Blooms of Taiwan

People here have a sense of responsibility for building better communities. But it still takes a lot of effort to build a truly global society by integrating different structures, languages, cultures, and management styles seamlessly.

I encircled Taiwan island, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, tried to discover its anthropological roots, and observed its social phenomenon. Taiwan is proud to be called “the island of the world” What is its character and how charismatic is it to attract global visitors

Friendly locals with good manners: Local people across the strait are very friendly to tourists when I ask them for directions or visit museums. People of all professions seem to be respect each other. In almost all public places they line up and favor order rather than chaos

Eastern and Western cultural themes co-exist: Taiwan had a history of being administrated by the Dutch, Japan, and China. There are modern architecture and traditional buildings; palaces temples, and churches co-existing in cities and suburbs. In eastern and southern regions, there are fewer tall buildings because they try to preserve a better environment and protect the ocean coast The slopes at the edge of pedestrian lanes, or facilitation in the parks or waterfront brought thoughtful convenience for people to move on, or take a break. But overwhelmingly large numbers of food stalls and vehicles sometimes also block the way for people to walk safely.

Active communities and considerably convenient transportation: There are quite lots of anthropological activities going on each month, especially on the weekend. Local people I guess can easily find their zones and participate in different exhibitions and events. I recently went to a variety of shows such as a healthcare show, gift trade show mobility exhibitions, etc; on the weekend, the artists performed on the street of the night market and local people parade to celebrate their festivals; they are busy with different cultural gatherings.

Also, people living in different cities take trains or buses conveniently and move around frequently. That also blurred the line between urban and rural areas.
