Today, 20th May, 520 meaning “I love you” in Chinese. We are so proud of and congratulate 𝙏𝙖𝙞𝙬𝙖𝙣 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙪𝙚 on winning the 2026 International Booker Prize – for the love to Taiwanese food, languages, diversity, and adventure!

This is a magical collaboration between Taiwanese author, Yáng Shuāng-zǐ (楊雙子), and Taiwanese-American translator Lin King (金翎), and Taiwan Travelogue is the first novel translated from Taiwanese Mandarin to receive the prize.

The novel weaves together food, travel, train journeys, colonial history, multiculturalism, identity, and rich culinary memories, offering readers a deeply layered portrait of Taiwan and its history.

“I really should come visit you, while it still exists,” translator Lin King shared, is something her English-speaking friends often say to her about Taiwan.

We'd like to tell all international travelers, this island continues to offer a unique and safe travel experience shaped by its warmth, diversity, and some of the kindest, most welcoming people in the world.

Come visit, it's right here!

🍶 Secret of Fakong: Wanna try Amis Sticky Rice Wine-Making? 🌾
  
Deep in Fakong, an Amis community in Hualien, wine-making is more than a craft. It’s a sacred cultural tradition passed down through generations.
 
In this special experience, you’ll journey through every step of traditional Amis rice wine-making.

Do you have selected hands that carry ideal natural yeast for creating sweet and successful fermentation? Traditiinally, the wine-making process is done quietly by the selected hands, in a peaceful space free from disturbance.

Here, wine is not just a drink, but a connection to ancestors, nature, and community.

If you want to get to know Jingliao and the “Ordinary Women” village (well known as the main filming scene from Taiwanese drama "The Making of An Ordinary Woman"), come stay for a night! 🌙

Over the past few weeks, they’ve collaborated with Taiwan Beyond Tour and hosted friends from North Macedonia, Spain, and the UK. The travelers strolled slowly through the old streets, taking in the rural breeze and the warmth of local life. We realized: the simpler and more genuine a place is, the more it touches travelers from around the world.

It’s been wonderful having like-minded companions like this! From experiencing traditional rice milling, hand-kneading red turtle cakes, to stepping into the “Sleepless Library” and feeling the quiet of an old house at night – we’re all trying, in different ways, to “translate” the most authentic and heartfelt parts of Taiwan’s countryside to the world.

Why would someone choose a guided tour rather than explore on their own?

Many travelers prefer planning trips on their own because of

1. Desire for flexibility and control
2. Trust gap and Negative perception of traditional tours, such as
price trap, rushed and tight schedule, forced shopping, generic tours...
3. Confidence to access to transport across countries

So how is Taiwan Beyond Tour different?

We offer things that cannot easily managed by travelers themselves, such as:

✔ Access to:
- Local communities
- Hidden places
- Real cultural experiences

✔ Expertise
- Deep knowledge
- Cultural interpretation
- Storytelling beyond language barrier

✔ Convenience
- Saving time on complex logistics
- Especially with the complicated transportation system in Taiwan

✔ Personalization
- Tailored to their interests
- Not “one-size-fits-all”

✔ Authenticity
- Real people
- Real stories
- Real participation

Our tours are 100% sustainable and authentic as we only work with local communities, not chained business or hotels. Are you planning a trip to ? Feel free to consult!
