The government has established 6 national parks and 12 national scenic areas to preserve Taiwan's best natural ecological environment and cultural sites. Take in the splendor and sheer heights of the cliffs at Taroko Gorge; take a ride on the Alishan train--one of only three mountain railways in the world--and experience the breathtaking sunset and sea of clouds; hike up to the summit of Northeast Asia's highest peak, Jade Mountain. You can ... soak up the sun in Kending, Asia's version of Hawaii; stand at the edge of Sun Moon Lake; traipse through the East Rift Valley; or visit the offshore islands of Kinmen and Penghu. It's fun in capital letters as well as an awesome journey of natural discovery!

CPC is ... responsible for Taiwan's natural gas exploration, production and imports. Taiwan had net imports of 258 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2003 -- up more than 4 percent from 2002. Total natural gas consumption in 2003 was 298 Bcf. CPC anticipates an increase in natural gas demand due to the construction of additional power plants and government plans to triple LNG consumption by 2010.

This exhibition advanced a number of involved institutions' agendas including Taiwan informal diplomacy, Canada nation branding, and corporate public relations.
