Taiwan, arguably one of the most beautiful islands of Asia, has become the ultimate getaway for travelers looking for some peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Steeped in a rich cultural heritage, Taiwan looks like it has remained untouched by the frenzied onslaught of industrialization. Speckled with ancient temples and historical sites, Taiwan is a dream destination for connoisseurs of art and architecture.
Those spiritually inclined can spend some time at the Fo Guang Shan monastery in Taiwan. The serenity of the place also reflects on the faces of the monks who spent most of their time meditating. You too can take a class on meditation by one of the masters there and feel a sense of calm that evades us in our day to day lives. A visit to the tranquil Confucius Temple in Taiwan is also a must if you are inspired by his ideals of humanity and fidelity.
