Another issue of Travel in Taiwan , and once again I was on a backpack bus trip assignment. For those of you not yet in the know, the Taiwan Tourism Bureau has set up numerous tourist-shuttle bus lines around the island, designed to make the highlights of any particular region more accessible for self-help travelers. Buses leave regularly from major public-transportation points throughout Taiwan, with schedules clearly posted and English signage pointing you in the right direction.
