TAIWAN CULTURAL TREASURES & INSPIRING LANDSCAPES MARCH 3-13, 2020 TOUR LEADER: JUDY TENZING

Overview This 11-day tour offers an insight into one of Asia’s most underrated destinations. Taiwan has been 'off the radar' for tourism since the tumultuous events of 1949, when Chiang Kai Shek and his nationalist compatriots separated themselves from the communists on the mainland. Only now are travellers beginning to re-discover the place which 16th-century Portuguese explorers named 'Ilha Formosa', the beautiful island. Unlike mainland China, where warfare, revolution and an economic boom have transformed the country, not always for the better, large sections of Taiwan retain a traditional atmosphere. Traditional art, architecture and ways of life can still be enjoyed, and the locals are genuinely friendly and welcoming. Our itinerary begins in the South, enjoying the temples, houses and streetscapes of the historic towns of Tainan and Lugang. We then head to the spectacular central mountain ranges, staying on the shores of Sun Moon Lake and visiting a range of fine sites. A day trip takes us over the top of the 3,000-metre-high mountains and into the marble-lined Taroko Gorge where we spend the night. Travelling up the east coast, we spend the last three days of the tour exploring Taipei, the bustling capital and home to a number of excellent institutions, including the world-famous National Palace Museum. The accommodation we have arranged is excellent, with five-star hotels throughout, including three nights at Taiwan's best hotel: the Lalu on Sun-Moon Lake in the centre of the island.

Tour Highlights

NATIONAL PALACE MUSEUM, TAIPEI Thanks to the withdrawal of Chiang Kai Shek’s Nationalist government to Taiwan during the 1949 Revolution, Taipei boasts the world’s finest collection of traditional Chinese fine and decorative arts, stretching back over 5,000 years. Enjoy superb Song dynasty landscapes, ancient Han pottery and of course Ming ceramics.

SUN MOON LAKE In the mountains rising above Taipei’s western plains, Sun Moon lake is an enchanting site, with temples and pilgrimage sites sacred to the Taiwanese. Our five-star hotel, designed by Australian Kerry Hill, looks directly over the lake to the mountains and forest beyond.

TAROKO GORGE The Central Mountains in Taiwan rise to over 3,000 metres, rivalling the European Alps. On the remote eastern side of the mountains lies Taroko Gorge, a dramatic marble opening in the mountains. It’s misty atmosphere and steep wooded cliffs make it a kind of living landscape painting. Taroko Gorge is also home to some of Taiwan’s indigenous groups, whom we encounter during our stay.

CHUNG TAI CHAN MONASTERY Buddhism meets post-modernism at this remarkable site, close to the geographic centre of Taiwan. The towering building resembles a sitting Buddha and contains prayer halls and shrines with 10,000 Buddha statues. The adjacent museum of Buddhist art contains remarkable stone and wooden statues, some over 3,000 years old.

TAINAN Taiwan’s southern city is one the site where the first Chinese fisherman landed over 500 years ago. The old city is little changed from these days, with winding alleys, rows of traditional shop houses and dozens of Dao and Buddhist temples, where locals throng to pray and have their fortunes told, lighting incense, throwing dice and offering food to the gods.

Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the symbols B, L and D.

Tuesday 3 march Arrive

Flights from Australia to Hong Kong depart during the day. At Hong Kong you can transfer to an onward flight to Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan. There is a transfer from Kaohsiung Airport to our Tainan hotel to coincide with the arrival of the Dragon Air flight. Overnight Tainan.

Wednesday 4 March Old Tainan

After a morning talk, we explore some of the historic sites of Tainan, the island's first capital and site of the overthrow of the Dutch colonialists by the folk-hero Koxinga. Tainan preserves a very atmospheric city centre, with narrow laneways, traditional shop-houses and dozens of ancient temples. Our sightseeing includes the Dutch Fort Zeelandia, centuries-old Daoist temples and the city’s splendid 17th-century Confucian temple, the oldest in Taiwan. We also see many good examples of Japanese Meiji architecture. After a lunch at which we sample some of Tainan’s well-regarded delicacies, the afternoon is free. You might like to participate in High Tea at the Shangri-la hotel for your first taste of Taiwan's highly-regarded Oolong tea. This evening there is the option of heading out to Tainan’s vibrant night markets, where traditional ‘small eats’ abound. Overnight Tainan. (B, L)

Thursday 5 march Lugang

Departing Tainan we head north along the island's seaboard to the town of Lugang. Lugang is Taiwan's most interesting historic town and was the second largest settlement on the island during the 1700s. Highlights of our visit include the vibrant Tianhou temple, a Daoist place of worship and the Koo family mansion, built during the Japanese period and containing interesting displays of furniture, art and design of the 18th and 19th centuries. We have lunch in Lugang before visiting the Longshan Buddhist temple to view the fine wood carvings which decorate its ceilings and roofs. Overnight Lugang. (B, L)

Friday 6 march to Sun Moon Lake

This morning we head to Taichung to visit the National Museum of Fine Arts. Mainly dedicated to visual arts, the museum places a large emphasis on works by upcoming and established contemporary Taiwanese artists and features an outdoor sculpture garden. The collection also includes documents for the Ming and Qing Dynasties and works from the Japanese era through to the period following the second world war, effectively documenting Taiwan’s history through its art. We continue to Sun Moon Lake, our base for the next three nights, and enjoy dinner in one of our hotel's excellent restaurants. Overnight Sun Moon Lake. (B)

Saturday 7 march Sun Moon Lake

Sun Moon Lake is some 1,000 metres above sea level and surrounded by steep mountains. Strict planning laws have preserved the natural environment of the lake. This morning we journey around the lake, visiting the Syanzuang and Syuangang temples, occupying a picturesque location on the lake shore. The temples preserve the relics of one of China's most famous Buddhists, the monk Xuan Zang. In the early 7th century Xuan Zang made pilgrimages throughout China and as far as India, collecting some 657 Sanskrit texts of Buddhism (sutras). He had an enormous influence on Chinese Buddhism. Beyond the temple is a pagoda built by Chiang Kai Shek as a symbol of filial devotion to his mother. There are good views of the lake from the top of the pagoda. After a lunch break in a local village we visit an Assam tea farm and experience first-hand the art of Taiwanese tea making. The afternoon is free for you to wander the well-maintained lakeside walks near the hotel, enjoying the lush vegetation, bird life and architecture of the lake. Overnight Sun Moon Lake. (B)

Sunday 8 march the Chung Tai Chan Monastery

Today we visit one of Asia's most extraordinary sites. Costing $US110 million dollars, the Chung Tai Chan monastery is located near the town of Puli, about 40 minutes’ drive from Sun Moon Lake. The monastery, headquarters of a popular Zen Buddhist order, was opened in 2001, and the sheer extravagance of the structure is an indicator of the popularity of the religious order. The architecture of the 37-storey structure combines traditional Buddhist subject matter with post-modernism, and is truly memorable. This morning we explore many of the levels of the monastery building and the landscaped gardens of the complex. After lunch on site we take a guided visit of the Chung Tai Chan museum. The museum opened only in October 2009. It contains an outstanding collection of Buddhist art in stone, gilded bronze and wood, beautifully displayed with comprehensive explanations in English. It easily ranks as one of the world's greatest collections of Buddhist art, and it is simply a matter of time before it enjoys an international reputation. Overnight Sun Moon Lake. (B, L)

Monday 9 march Across the mountains

This morning we head inland to the highest peaks of the Central Range. We travel along sections of the Central Cross-Island Highway, opened in 1960. The winding two-lane road has views to Taiwan's highest peaks and is considered Taiwan's most scenic road and stop at Wushe to view the memorial to aboriginal resistance against the Japanese. Over the next few hours we pass the most spectacular part of the road, stopping for lunch, brief walks and panoramic views before descending towards the east coast and Taroko Gorge, where we stop for the night. This evening the hotel offers a highly entertaining display of Taiwanese Aboriginal dance. Overnight Taroko Gorge. (B, P, D)

Tuesday 10 march Taroko Gorge and the East Coast

Taroko Gorge is a narrow marble valley, 19 kilometres long, and Taiwan's most popular national park. The rugged countryside, dotted with temples and pagodas, is rather like a Chinese landscape painting come to life, and not to be missed. Leaving early this morning to avoid the many coach groups which visit, we explore some of the sites of the valley through short walks and stops. We emerge from the gorge on Taiwan's rugged east coast. We travel north along the Chingshui cliffs, where the corniche road hugs the cliff-face high above the sea for a number of kilometres. We continue to Taipei, arriving in the late afternoon. Tonight we enjoy dinner at the hotel. Overnight Taipei. (B, PL, D)

Wednesday 11 march Exploring Taipei

This morning we view some of Taipei's traditional and monumental spaces. We first visit the Longshan Temple, where there is sure to be chanting and incense-burning in abundance. We then visit the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall, whose monumental forecourt consciously mimics Beijing's Tiananmen Square. This gives us the opportunity to consider Taiwan’s dramatic 20th century history. Our last stop is the towering Taipei 101 skyscraper, the world’s tallest building until very recently. Inspired by Chinese pagodas, Taipei 101’s architect was C.Y. Lee, who also designed the Chung Tai Chan monastery. This afternoon is free for shopping or relaxing. Tonight, there is the option of attending a performance (depending on schedules) at the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial hall, which has a regular program of international quality classical music concerts. Overnight Taipei (B)

Thursday 12 march The National Palace Museum

In the late morning we visit the National Palace Museum, Taiwan's most famous cultural institution. When retreating from the communists in 1949 Chiang Kai Shek made a careful

selection of over 500,000 artefacts and artworks from China's imperial collection, representing the very finest in Chinese art. After a long and sometimes dramatic journey to Taipei the pieces in the collection were stored in the hills near Taipei, awaiting their inevitable return to Beijing along with a triumphant Kuomintang government. This never happened, of course, and the Taipei museum was born. Highlights of the collection include ancient bronzes and jade pieces, exquisite Ming porcelain and fine paintings from the Song Dynasty. This evening there is the option of visiting the Taipei Eye arts centre, where there are regular performances of traditional Chinese music and singing. Overnight Taipei (B)

Friday 13 march Departure

The morning is free to relax and prepare for your homeward journey. We share a farewell lunch at a Hot Springs Resort south of Taipei, not far from the airport. We then head to Taipei's international airport for afternoon flights to Hong Kong. At Hong Kong you can connect to onward overnight flights to Australia. (B, L)

Why take a journey to Taiwan? Because the island is not well known, many Australians will not have considered travelling to Taiwan. There are many good reasons to undertake the journey however! • It's an emerging travel destination that has not yet been

debased by mass tourism • The culture of the indigenous inhabitants of the island

before the arrival of the Chinese in the 17th century, mainly to be seen in the small towns of the interior

• Thanks to the absence of a “cultural revolution”, there is well-preserved traditional Chinese culture, architecture and streetscapes in small towns and cities

• The Japanese ruled the island from 1895-1945, leaving an interesting legacy of architecture and cultural practices, such as elaborate tea ceremonies

• The island lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire” offering outstanding mountain scenery, with sharp peaks rising to 4,000 metres

• Two-world class museums – the famed National Palace Museum in Taipei and the newly opened Chung Tai Chan museum in the town of Puli
