Taiwan-The Heart of Asia~觀光局新品牌30秒動畫
2001年起長達10年的時間，台灣觀光以「Taiwan, Touch Your Heart」品牌向國際推廣，成功輸送台灣人民友善熱情的形象，獲得國內外旅客的喜愛，也將台灣觀光推升到一個新階段。為迎接新品牌時代的來臨，觀光局於2009年起即邀集各界專家學者研討構思新品牌，歷經多次討論、激盪與修正，最終以「Taiwan-The Heart of Asia」成為新品牌識別，新舊兩品牌，兩個heart相印相連，是台灣觀光「從心出發」不變的堅持。
「Taiwan-The Heart of Asia」新品牌logo以簡潔、新創造的字體，表現台灣與世界溝通的坦誠態度與創新活力，台灣融合傳統與新潮的多樣化特質正是今日起飛中的亞洲的典型縮影，亞洲心、台灣情是台灣觀光想要獻給所有觀光客的貼心獻禮。觀光局所有軟硬體設施及未來宣傳推廣活動都將更新置換此新品牌logo。配合新品牌問世，並推出「Time for Taiwan」作為全民拚觀光的台灣觀光大團隊隊呼，凝聚政府部門、觀光產業和周邊產業一起為台灣的時代打拚。發佈會上也發表侯志堅作曲、雷光夏及Yiping ,Hou共同作詞的同名歌曲以及30秒宣傳動畫，為新品牌形象發聲發言，推動大家一起認識台灣觀光的新品牌、新目標，了解台灣觀光的新使命。
In the year 2000, the Tourism Bureau of the ROC (Taiwan) 中華民國觀光局 launched its global campaign aimed to attract more international visitor to Taiwan. The campaign involved the logo with “TAIWAN” written in calligraphy and a Taiwan-shape seal with the slogan “Taiwan, Touch Your Heart“. The campaign was quite successful, with more than 5 million people visiting Taiwan last year.
On February 11, 2011, the Tourism Bureau launches its newest global campaign. Following the theme of “Heart”, the new campaign involves the logo with a heart full of different possibilities to explore in Taiwan and the slogan “Taiwan – The Heart of Asia 亞洲心、台灣情“. The two logos share the same idea that tourism in Taiwan begins with the heart.
A place mixed with traditions and modernity, Taiwan is one place in Asia you cannot miss!
Our flight from LCCT to Taiwan by AirAsia. The air ticket that we got 1 year back was quite cheap though.
When reaching Tao Yuan airport in Taiwan, the 1st thing I got was Taiwan Telephone line with Taiwan Mobile 台湾大哥大. (Unlimited Data + TWD210 credits for only TWD500).
Rented a Volkswagen van to fetch all of us to our hotel in Taoyuan (Airport Transfer which is cheap if going by a group of people).

羊世界 Goat World Leisure Farm
Initially we planned to stay the 2nd night in Fly Cow Ranch to get some fun there but unfortunately it was fully booked 🙁
Then we can only opt to visited the goat farm 羊世界 Goat World Leisure Farm in Taoyuan, as we wanting badly to experience milking a goat but too bad, we can’t get to experience it as only open to those who come in a big group.
There’s really nothing much to see and do @ 羊世界 Goat World Leisure Farm. So I don’t suggest you to waste your time there unless you want to see some animals.

Yun Hsien Resort 云仙乐园
.
烏來位在台北市東南方約27公里，為新北市唯一的山地鄉，全區樹木青翠，清水長流，眾山環抱，聞名遐邇的烏來瀑布頂端源頭更是湖光山色，古木參天，林間雲霧濛濛，彩蝶、蟬鳴、鳥語彷如世外桃源。但此美景因南勢溪懸崖峭壁的阻隔讓遊客無法置身欣賞，於是興起了空中纜車籌建計劃，藉著空中纜車將原始自然景觀完整地呈現於國人眼前，又因美景天成，春夏秋冬的演替各有不同之美就如同仙境般，所以取名為”雲仙樂園”。
台湾原住民!

Our remaining nights were at Colormix Ximending. It’s at strategic location but the room really can’t complain because of the price that we paid for. It was consider a small and cozy room but just that the exterior of the building and the entrance is abit run down.
西門町
Ximending has been called the “Harajuku of Taipei” and the “Shibuya of Taipei”. Ximending is the source of Taiwan’s fashion, subculture, and Japanese culture. Ximending is also the main LGBT district of Taiwan, with a host of many clubs and pubs surrounding the area. This area is in the northeastern part of Wanhua District in Taipei and it is also the most important consumer district in the Western District of Taipei. The well-known Ximending Pedestrian Area was the first pedestrian area built in Taipei and is the largest in Taiwan.

Shilin Public Market (Night Market) 士林夜市
士林夜市位於台北市士林區，此地原是靠近基隆河的渡口，從士林的農產品到艋舺、大稻埕的貨物都在這裡交易，1909年設立士林市場一直發展至今。士林夜市是台北地區最具規模的夜市之一，士林夜市可分兩大部分：一是捷運站對面的臨時集中市場，於2005年11月24號正式啟用，由於通風、衛生、環境、公共安全等問題，臺北市政府於2002年10月14日將原士林市場拆除，僅保留日據時代的磚造市場建築；二是以陽明戲院為中心，擴及文林路、基河路，以至大東路與大南路都算在士林夜市的範圍內，商家林立，範圍非常的大，再加上各式各樣的百貨商品及經濟實惠的美味小吃，不但是台北人夜晚逛街的好去處，更讓其他縣市的民眾為此慕名而來，甚至連國外觀光客也趨之若鶩。

Jiufen 九份
九份位於新北市瑞芳區，是昔日台灣的採金礦中心，環山面海，擁有變化多端的山海美景，為一座小小的山城，保有著純樸的舊日生活風貌，但在金礦產業漸漸沒落之後，九份的輝煌時期便走向歷史；時至今日，由於觀光產業的興起，九份又恢復到以往的繁榮，在老街上處處是人聲鼎沸，忙碌的都市人在這裡找到一處可以放鬆心靈的地方。
Golden Waterfalls 黃金瀑布 & Yin Yang Hai 陰陽海
位於金瓜石往水湳洞的公路邊，早期曾經叱吒一時現已廢棄的台金公司，在金瓜石及九份產礦由於山泉水與雨水滲入，礦砂沉積溪床，並有菌類附著滋生，水質飽含氧化的金屬礦石顏色，而形成金黃色的瀑布景觀，當地居民故稱為『黃金瀑布』。
身處瀑布旁的台金舊礦場，可俯瞰陰陽海，景觀十分詭異；還可遠望雞籠山上的金瓜石山城，以及蜿蜒的金水公路。是個適合拍照好景點，同時也是很受歡迎的婚紗照拍攝地點。
水湳洞陰陽海，簡稱陰陽海，位於台灣新北市瑞芳區水湳洞聚落北側，為台灣東北角濱海地區的一大特殊地理景觀。水湳洞陰陽海因海灣中的海水顏色呈黃褐色，與外海方向正常海水的藍顏色形成鮮明對比，因而得名。
