Cycling culture is prevalent

Many people in Taiwan must have ridden U-Bike. More and more people have given up driving or public transportation and rely on a bicycle to go. We visited various scenic spots and historic sites in northern Taiwan, and many people even cycled around the island. This has become one of the dreams that many Taiwanese want to fulfill. Taiwan is a very suitable country for cycling because you can see many natural landscapes and cultural customs on this beautiful island.

Mr. Yan Changshou mentioned in his book that promoting bicycle travel can be the direction we can go in the future, and cycling may become a prominent science in the future.

Kano, which was released in Qianzhen, and Lucy, which was filmed and released in Taiwan by well-known foreign directors, have driven tourism in Taiwan through movies in recent years. , is an important key to promoting Taiwan’s tourism internationally. Every story and every scene in the movie can evoke our beautiful memories of Taiwan.

Is Taiwan ready?

With the coming of mainlanders to Taiwan, the signing of agreements on trade in services, and trade in goods, etc., Taiwan has become a country that must compete with the rest of the world. As Taiwan's economy gradually opens up, in addition to tourists from various countries, more and more mainlanders will also come to Taiwan, whether for business or vacation, etc. As Taiwanese, are we ready? Tourism is a kind of emotion that can directly move people's hearts. Everyone should use their own strength to protect Taiwan's most precious tourism assets, starting from software and hardware, starting from network technology, starting from online media, and starting from education. , don’t let the development of science and technology become the killer of these beautiful scenery.

As Taiwanese, we need to pay more attention to and cherish this precious land.
