City nights sparkle with light, splendor, action, and vitality, greeting visitors from overseas with a warm Taiwan- style embrace, and inviting them to personally experience the wonderful, action-filled “City That Never Sleeps” (臺北夜未眠)! In this issue, we bring you to the city’s frontlines for fashion. We bring you “Taipei’s Manhattan” (臺北的曼哈頓), the Xinyi Commercial District, a grand bazaar home to upscale department stores, the massive exhibition halls of the Taipei World Trade Center, chic restaurants, sleek theaters, steamy nightspots, and many other examples of the international- caliber voguish vanguard. Here is a veritable pleasure vault of shopping and leisure- entertainment stimulation. Taipei 101 and the eslite Xinyi flagship bookstore, the largest bookstore in this country, are just two of the numerous iconic architectural sirens that draw you in with their magnetic allure.

  • Industry Expands Nearly 8 Percent Food Service
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 12/26/2013 GAIN Report Number: TW13050 Taiwan Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional Industry Expands Nearly 8 Percent Approved By: Mark Ford Prepared By: Cleo Fu Report Highlights: The Taiwan foodservice industry enjoyed another year of success, expanding 7.7% to U.S. $13.2 billion in 2012. The rise of Taiwan’s tourism market continued to play a critical role in the growth of this sector, especially with the continued increase of Chinese tourists. As further confirmation of the sector’s success, several food service companies filed for successful initial public offerings during the past year. Post anticipates this trend will continue throughout the remainder of 2013 and eventually level off in early 2014. Executive Summary: Although it is a small island (about the size of Maryland and Delaware combined) with a population of only 23 million people, Taiwan has developed into one of the world's largest economic and trading entities. Over the past decade, Taiwan has transformed itself from a light industry-manufacturing base to a global center for the production of high technology products. With a nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $473.7 billion in 2012, Taiwan is the world's 24th largest economy, as well as the 6th largest economy in Asia. In 2012, Taiwan had an estimated per capita GDP of US$20,378 (US$38,486 when calculated in terms of Purchasing Power Parity).
