WELCOME TO TAIWAN!

The celebrity A-Mei is from the Puyuma aboriginal tribe.

Introduction

Taiwan culture has been enriched over the centuries by the arrival of people from China, Japan, Dutch to Spanish because of its significance as a part of the trading route to Japan and colonisation during the World War. It has mostly Chinese influence as the democratic political party of Chiang Kai Shek, Kuomingtang with its soldiers and people escaped from China to seek refuge in Taiwan from oppressing communist party. When the Chinese arrived, they populated the area and pushed the indigenous tribes into the mountainous areas thus Taiwanese culture diversifies with the culture influence of other countries.
