Chinese questionnaire ................................................................................ 48 Reference ................................................................................. 50 - 1 - Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Research motivation National parks, the best treasure for a country, are considered as the places where have unique scenery. When we travel abroad, we might visit its national parks, such as Yellowstone National Park and so on. While we enjoy and admire these beauties or wild animals in other countries, have you ever thought how about our Taiwan’s national parks? Have we been to there for sightseeing? Are there any scenic spots? Is it worth to visit? However, there are seven national parks in Taiwan, and we would like to focus on the most famous six national parks. They are Kenting National Park, Yushan National Park, Yangmingshan National Park, Taroko National Park, Kinmen National Park, and Shei-Pa National Park and each of them has its own property. Most of people might think national park is a boring place where is full of trees, green grass and so on. It is the stereotype we want to overwhelm and we believe it firmly that our parks are not worse than those of other countries. Besides, national parks are very momentous for sightseeing industry and they can increase economy to reach the authority concerned. The research result might show what the disadvantage is and what the advantage of six national parks is. Therefore, we would try to compare each of national parks and try to develop an attractive trip schedule for tourists. On the other hand we provide tourists a useful handbook when they are touring in national park. - 2 - 1.2 Research purpose Tourism is an important sector of a country’s economy. The analysis different of items of national park, such as characteristic and place worthwhile to see, could help people know more about the national park and also help national park tourism development. Furthermore, we list many elements care: z Characteristic Taiwan is a beautiful island with a lot of characteristic geography and age-old historic monuments, and has found many national parks to protect these beautiful spots. Though Taiwan has several fantastic national parks, but most of people only have been to one or two national parks. Some even have never been to national park. We think that it is because most of people don’t know what kind of characteristic the park has. For this reason, by introducing each park clearly and briefly, we provide introductions of national parks. This will help people decide which park they like, and know what the park have before departure. z Place worthwhile to see Some national parks are located in mountain area and some national parks are nearby the sea. Hence the visit spots in each national park of Taiwan are not the same. It is why we choose this item to research. There are six national parks in Taiwan, and we would compare the item visit spots to find out the difference in them. By understanding the information we find out, we could also connect other research items. In other words, visit spots means the places could attract people to visit or travel. Therefore, we could learn what character is in each visit spot of national park. - 3 - z Accommodation As everybody knows that national parks are designed to conserve the unique natural and cultural assets of a country while providing recreational and research values. There are a lot of treasures in each national park, and it is hard to visit the whole national park for just several hours or few days. In order to enjoy the whole beauty of the national park, some tourists may want to stay near the national park. There are some national parks which located in remote area, and it is hard to find accommodations there. Therefore, we introduced different accommodations to those who want to stay near the national park. Besides, we offer the price lists for tourists to show the general accommodation price near each national park. Our purpose of introducing accommodations is to urge tourists to stay and admire the national parks in Taiwan. z Transportation Transportation is a method or means of moving one thing from one place to another. The importance of transportation cannot be underestimated. By and large, an exciting tour has to go with a perfect tour plan. Most people hate wasting time to find out the destination. Therefore a well-developed transportation can not be functioned as efficient without an explicit guidebook. That is reason why we would like to make this part to offer tourist a great reference which is more helpful on transportation to National Parks in Taiwan. z Tour suggestions The National Parks of Taiwan provide the quality recreational opportunities for the citizens of Taiwan. Every national park with characteristics is natural landscapes. If the visitors want to have the happy interesting and educational tour in the limited vacations, they must have a good tour plan. Maybe some tourists are first time to visit there; the tour suggestions will be their good - 4 - advices. This guidebook could be suitable for visitors to design their trip and also may be a best reference of touring national park. It provides a lot of information that is not only offer tour spots but also gives visitors a reference of duration to each place. Then, the tourists can save more time on tourism plan. We hope this project could help Taiwanese know more about our own national parks and also infect a new image into foreigners. As above, that is why we want to introduce national parks. It is not only for Taiwanese but also for foreigners. - 5 - 1.3 Research procedure The authors would like to use a flowchart to express our research procedure of this project. Deicide Topic Deicide detail content Information search Questionnaire Make data be systematic Make data be organized Compare each detail Analysis the poll result from different national park Result Obtain conclusion Combine two results and compare them Conclusion We divide the research into two parts. First one is literature review. The authors compare different items of each national park to express our research data. - 6 - Through websites, magazines and other relative information match our five sections of each national park. Then, after search information and knowledge of national park, we make it more organized and systematic. Compare the same sections of each national park to find out the similar points and different points. Our second procedure is survey research. Design the poll and set up the questions which we need and distribute for interviewers. Then, collecting the survey gathers statistical data. After gathering, we would know what we obtain from the poll and make charts which are easily to understand our purpose. Finally, we will get some idea and result. In addition, from two parts research of the study we could get two conclusions. Comparing and combining two method searching results. Eventually, we will get the result from all studies. - 7 - Chapter 2 Research Information Introduction In this chapter we mainly introduce you six national parks that mentioned in chapter one. In each national park we provide five different kind of information, such as characteristic of national park, places worthwhile to see and so on. You can easily understand tourism development of each national park. National parks are national representatives of natural resources or cultural assets, designated and managed by the central government. According to the National Park Act of the Republic of China (passed in l972), parks are established to protect natural scenery, wildlife and historical relics unique to the country. In addition, a national park provides research, educational and recreational

  • The Selection Process of National Park Landscape Areas and the Imaginative Geographies in Taiwan During the Japanese Colonial Period
    ACADEMIC WORLD of Tourism Studies vol.1 The Selection Process of National Park Landscape Areas and the Imaginative geographies in Taiwan during the Japanese Colonial Period Koji KANDA This paper discusses the relationship between the selection process of national park landscapes and the imaginative geographies in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period, focusing on the ambivalent and contradictory nature of modern spatiality. In 1937, three national parks were designated in Taiwan by the Taiwan Colonial Government: the The Tatun National Park, The Tsugitaka- Taroko National Park and The Niitaka-Ali Mountains National Park. In this selection, criteria used in choosing national parks in mainland Japan were directly applied to those in Taiwan, which was characterized by mountain landscapes; selecting the natural and majestic landscapes symbolising the great Japanese Empire was considered to flaunt Japanese superiority and attract tourists from all over the world. The selection was met with opposition that asserted distinctive characteristics of Taiwan in the tropical landscapes, which was also rare and thus attractive as a tourist site. Such opposition was however denied as suitability to the Japanese standard, benefits to health and wellbeing of the Japanese residents, and proximity to Taipei City were more of the priority, and furthermore, tourism potential was considered inappropriate in selecting national parks. The paper shows, in the dynamic process of the production of space for national parks in the colonial Taiwan, that the selection of Taiwanese national parks was related to the identity politics of spatial scale between Taiwan and Japan, and that the relations between nationalism and tourism were not always harmonious.

  • Yangmingshan National Park Is Located in the North of Beitou. Yangmingshan Was Called Tsaoshan (Grass Mountain) During Japanese
    Yangmingshan National Park is located in the north of Beitou. Yangmingshan was called Tsaoshan (Grass Mountain) during Japanese occupation of Taiwan, because it was covered with grass and seldom visited. After World War II, the KMT government renamed the mountain Yang Ming Shan and built a park here. Yangmingshan National Park is the only park in Taiwan that has volcanic geography and hot springs. It is next to Sha Mao Shan and Chi Hsing Shan with Ta Tun Shan on the right and Kuan Yin Shan in front. The magnificent mountainous scenery and comfortable weather have made Yangmingshan National Park a perfect summer resort. Total area of the park is 125 hectares, designed in traditional Chinese style. The natural beauty of the part has won it the reputation as urban forest and the Taipei garden Historical Background Shei-Pa National Park was established In 1992, located at the border of Hsinchu, Miaoli and Taichung. It faces Guyan Shan and Le Shan in the north, Dajia River in the east, Beikeng Shan and Siaosyue Shan in the west and Yuluowei Shan and Dajia River in the south. Total area of the park is 76,850 hectares.Shei-Pa National Park is the fifth national park of Taiwan. The mountainous scenery is spectacular as there are several mountains in the park.

  • Annual Report 2020 Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan)
    Annual Report 2020 Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) Taipei, Taiwan Republic of China Foreword Chin-Long Yang, Governor Looking back on 2020, it started with an outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19 that quickly spread out and wreaked havoc on the global economy and world trade. Hampered by the resulting demand weakness both at home and abroad, Taiwan's economic growth slowed to 0.35% in the second quarter, the lowest since the second quarter of 2016. However, the pace picked up further and further in the latter half of the year amid economic reopening overseas and the introduction of consumption stimulus policies domestically. The annual growth rate of GDP reached 5.09% in the fourth quarter, the highest since the second quarter of 2011. For the year as a whole, the economy expanded by 3.11%, also higher than the past two years. Similarly, domestic inflation was affected by the pandemic as softer international demand for raw materials dragged down energy prices and hospitality services (such as travel and hotels) launched promotional price cuts. The annual growth rate of CPI dropped to -0.23%, the lowest since 2016, while that of the core CPI (excluding fruit, vegetables, and energy) fell to 0.35%, a record low unseen for more than a decade. Faced with the unusual challenges posed by pandemic-induced impacts on the economy and the labor market, the Bank reduced the policy rates by 25 basis points and rolled out a special accommodation facility worth NT$200 billion to help SMEs obtain funding in March, followed by an expansion of the facility to NT$300 billion in September.
