Taiwan Tourist Guides — Culture  The Japanese, the Dutch and also the Spanish have colonized Taiwan at different intervals of time. Inevitably, their influences were received by the people here, and so, Taiwan is today one of the multi-cultural islands in the world. By the time the Second World War finished, Taiwan has already managed to come out of the Japanese. clutches. However the nationalists yielded in the Chinese Civil War and Taiwan then became a sanctuary for them. Soon Korean War broke out. Taiwan became a major association along the contours of resistance in opposition to socialism in the Western Pacific throughout the Cold War. It also got military and economic assistance from the United States of America and automatically Taiwan commenced towards another culture, this time the American one. After the Cold war met its fate, the Republic of China was expelled of the United Nations and a new consciousness to focalize on the local culture burst out. Thus in the 1980.s Taiwan observed a gradual social change with progression of democracy, freedom and Internationalism making it an interesting culture to explore. Taiwan has its own traditional art forms like Sculpting, calligraphy and painting. With the advent of the western culture it also welcomed its literature, and clothing. Moreover Taiwan has a strong Chinese air all though its culture. They practice .Tai Chi. which is actually a slow paced shadow boxing. Superstitious as they are, the Taiwanese breeds fear about death. So, when you meet a Taiwanese friend don.t mention the numeral four and the white color! With tinkling bells and vigorous walking, Taiwan has the culture of unique dance methods: Obsession of Formosa, Homage to the Gods, and Portrait of Court Ladies. 'Image of Kung-Fu,' is another beautiful composition based on Chinese Martial Arts. Stilt walking is about walking with two poles and yes, it.s great fun! A country.s culture cannot be without its food. Taiwan has some lip-smacking culinary outlets. Taichung Sun cake, Beijing-Shandong, Sichuan-Hunan, Shanghainese and Cantonese-Chaozhou dishes, pork foot, dain-dain noodle, shrimp cookie, fried and steamed meat-filled buns, oyster-filled omelet and refreshing fruit ices. There.s more to go. Shihlin Night Market and Chou Do Fu can be some of your lookouts.
