Writer and hiking expert Richard Saunders discusses his new book, Taiwan 101: Essential Sights, Hikes and Experiences on Ilha Formosa, which is aimed at arming travelers with the knowledge to make the most out of their Taiwan experiences. We discuss the book, and why even long-term Taiwan residents may have missed some of the best Taiwan has to offer.

The book is / will be available for purchase — somewhere between now and soon — at The Community Services Center, Taipei, and at bookshops around Taipei including Eslite and Caves.
