Taipei
The capital of Taiwan and the seat of the Nationalist Republic of China, Taipei’s successful trading and exporting practices have made the city a worldwide economic power. Also the cultural capital of the nation, Taipei’s adherence to Confucian ideals and the Chinese arts, in addition to technology, make the city an interesting mixture of modernity and traditional culture.
The program is sponsored by the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) and is housed at National Chengchi University.
