　　As we overlooked the water, a pot of tea steeped in front of us. A stray cat nestled next to me, purring, as the sunset painted a masterpiece in the sky. The lights of the town sparkled below and I sighed softly. Our time in Taiwan was nearing the end and I’d fallen deeply in love with it. Saying goodbye from the teahouse in Jioufen didn’t make it any easier. There was still so much to do and yet our plane was leaving in a few short days. I wanted to stay in Jioufen forever, but promised myself that we’d return… very soon!

　　Taiwan is chock full of culture, history, food, and hidden treasures. From B&B to hot springs to exquisite handicrafts to marvelous architectures to hiking in nature, there is something for everyone. But it can be difficult explaining in English about a specific place, food, history, or cultural experience. This book gives practical information in both English and Chinese and is organized by topic so it’ll be easier to compare places. This is the book I wish I’d had first time I was in Taiwan. I hope it helps your friends fall in love with Taiwan as much as I did!

　　當我們沒有注意到身旁的一壺水時，一壺茶已經在面前泡好了。一隻流浪貓依偎在我的身邊，發出貓的咕嚕咕嚕聲，夕陽染紅了天空如一幅世界名畫。小鎮的燈光在山下閃耀，我輕輕嘆了口氣。當我己經深深地愛上了臺灣，我在臺灣的時間卻已接近尾聲。心情沈重的向九份茶館告別，因為在臺灣仍然有很多事可以做，但我的飛機就在短短幾天就要離開，而我卻想永遠的留在九份。
臺灣充滿文化、歷史、美食和隱藏的寶藏。從民宿、溫泉、精緻的手工藝品、令人嘆為觀止的建築、以及很多大自然裡的步道，在臺灣每一個人都可以找到自己想要做的事。但是有時卻難以用英文解釋有關於特定地點、食物、歷史或文化體驗。這本書提供了中英文的實用資料，並以主題為架構讓讀者更容易對不同的地方做比較。這是一本我會希望第一次去臺灣玩時能參考的一本書。我們希望這本書可以幫助你的朋友能和我一樣的愛上臺灣！
