Travel Taiwan during the Chinese New Year and immerse yourself in world-class history and culture.

The Chinese New Year is a time for the whole family, and this year’s Spring Festival offers an extended 9-day holiday. In addition to gathering at home for meals, staying up on New Year's Eve, and playing cards for fun, why not also take advantage of this rare long break to plan a trip? ezfly 易飞网 has specially launched the “2010 Spring Festival Diamond Tour,” which not only lets you experience the beauty of Taiwan but also includes five-star accommodation, gourmet meals, door-to-door transfers, and in-depth guided tours — all for a relaxing and enjoyable Spring Festival holiday.

The Wushantou Reservoir Dam, built 80 years ago and designed under the supervision of Japanese engineer Yoichi Hatta, turned the Jianan Plain into Taiwan’s most important rice production area. The entire Wushantou Reservoir and Jianan Irrigation System are currently applying for UNESCO World Heritage status. The well-known “Paper Dome” in Puli is Taiwan’s first paper structure and the first building imported from overseas. Over the past 10 years, the Paper Dome provided solace to countless victims of the Kobe earthquake in Japan, and now located in Puli, it has become a renowned landmark in central Taiwan. Meanwhile, the Alishan Forest Railway cable car, which connects two major scenic spots in Nantou County — Sun Moon Lake and Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village — has finally opened to traffic. Seeing Sun Moon Lake and the mountain forests of Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village from the air will be truly spectacular.

ezfly 易飞网’s “2010 Spring Festival Diamond Tour” features seven family-friendly routes across Taiwan.
