Taiwan: Top Souvenirs for Visitors

So, you are going to visit lovely Taiwan. What should you bring home as souvenirs? A consortium of businesspeople held a massive competition that compiled a list of Taiwan's top 100 products to help you shop!

The top 3?

1. Wenshan bauzhong tea (also spelled "pouchong")
2. Traditional aboriginal Paiwan glazed beads
3. Yilan cakes
   

(And, hm, it's no accident that 2 of the top 3 items are things you can EAT/DRINK.)

Real pouchong tea is produced only in the tea-growing regions outside Taipei. It's slightly fermented, and it is liquid heaven. (See the second video on this post.)
