Postcard from Taiwan and Vietnam

Postcard from Taiwan and Vietnam Jackie Jones

I was so lucky to embark on a Wendy Wu tour of Taiwan and Vietnam , along with flying with China Airlines across all classes - Economy, Premium and Business class.  


What a surprise Taiwan was - the view from 89 stories was unreal at Taipei 101, goosebumps watching the changing of the guard at CKS Memorial Hall and fascinating ancient Longshan Temple. being with a Wendy Wu guide meant we learnt a lot along the way, our guide talked us through the culture as it was happening in front of us.  I loved getting into the countryside and visiting tea plantations and Sun Moon Lake. A highlight was the South , Foguanshan Monastery - the largest monastery in Taiwan.


In Vietnam we stayed at the luxurious Hotel Royal , Wendy Wu took us on an ancient walking tour so got to get amongst the locals, spend time making lanterns, dumplings and doing Tai Chi !  The family homes and business we visited were 7th Generation, so we could feel how connected the people are to their ancestors.  


We finished with a cable car trip up the Ba Na Hills to visit the famous Golden Bridge - WOW !
