The Bridge to the Real Taiwan

About the Author | Uly Zih (子幼羽)

"From Pingtung to Taipei. Commuting between two cities, but embracing the whole island at heart."

Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone

Born and raised in Pingtung, Southern Taiwan, I used to be an introvert who preferred the comfort of home. However, my university life at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) marked a turning point. Determined to change, I applied to become a Special Cadre at the NTUST Association of International Affairs (AIA).

I still vividly remember the leader's words during my interview: "Most of our members are international students far away from home. I want you to be the bridge that connects them with local activities in Taiwan."

That mission defined my university years. Through organizing events and planning projects, I learned to see Taiwan through the eyes of a traveler. To broaden my horizons, I spent a month on a working holiday in Australia and actively participated in language exchange events in Taipei. These experiences taught me not just how to communicate, but what travelers truly seek in a foreign land.

Why I Built "TaiwanMe"

The spark for this website came during a "Travel and Life" general education class. Listening to a classmate present a "day trip route around South Taipei", I was struck by a realization: the streets I cycled through every day were filled with stories I had completely ignored.

I realized then: It’s not that Taiwan looks the same everywhere; it’s that our busy lives have stripped us of the energy to explore.

My Vision

This is the beginning of TaiwanMe.

Although my physical journey often shuttles between just two points—Taipei and Pingtung—my heart has expanded to embrace the entire island of Taiwan.

I created this website to be that "bridge" once again. Whether you are an international traveler or a local resident, I hope this platform helps you discover the hidden gems of this island—and perhaps, like me, find a renewed love for the land we stand on.

About Us

Rediscovering the Lost
"Tâi-uân Bī"

The Story Behind "TaiwanMe"

I recently discovered a beautiful linguistic harmony: "Taiwanese Flavor" (台灣味) is pronounced Táiwān wèi in Mandarin, Tâi-uân-bī in Taiwanese Hokkien, and toiˇ vanˇ mi in Hakka. These remarkably similar sounds across languages inspired the name TaiwanMe.

Tracing the roots further, the name "Taiwan" itself originates from the Siraya indigenous term Taywan. Early Siraya people referred to the sandbars near the Taijiang Inner Sea as Teyoan or Taioan, meaning "the place where strangers or foreigners live."

To me, TaiwanMe embodies this fascinating cultural tapestry—a dialogue between the diverse ethnic groups and histories that define our island.


It started with a moment of realization. While hosting international students, I watched them queue endlessly for commercialized "hotspots" and trendy shops. As a local, I found myself unable to share the deeper, authentic stories of my own land.

It wasn't until a general education class, where a classmate vividly described the very alleys I cycled through every day—my rental place, the campus corners—that it hit me: Taiwan isn't mundane; we've simply lost the energy to explore it amidst our busy lives.

Our mission is simple: The Real Taste of Taiwan.

You won't find cliché tourist traps here. Instead, we guide you to the authentic scenery hidden in ordinary alleys—stories worth telling. Whether you are a first-time traveler or a long-time resident, we hope to accompany you in finding that unique, irreplaceable Taiwanese sentiment.

Partner with TaiwanMe

The Vision

Many visit Taiwan, but few truly see it.

TaiwanMe was created to unveil the island’s best-kept secrets. Whether it's the profound indigenous culture of Pingtung or the mystical Water Lantern ceremonies in Keelung, we exist to help you find the real taste of Taiwan.

But our vision goes deeper than just tourism. We aim to not only offer foreign travelers a genuine opportunity to deeply understand Taiwan, but also to inspire locals to rediscover the beauty of the land they call home. We believe every corner of this island has a story waiting to be told—and heard.

To Our Potential Partners

To be completely honest with you—we are just getting started. We are a young platform, and we know we have a long way to go. We believe that trust and reputation are earned over time, not overnight. Right now, our primary focus is on pouring our hearts into creating the best content possible, rather than seeking commercial spotlight or formal advertising partnerships. We want to make sure we are truly providing value before we ask for your investment.

That said, we never say no to a good conversation. If our mission resonates with you, or if you see the potential in what we are building—even while we are still in our early days—we would be honored to hear from you. Whether you have a suggestion, a story to share, or simply want to support a growing team, please feel free to reach out.
