Go wildlife watching in Taiwan
If you are thinking of going on a luxury wildlife watching holiday in Asia there are plenty of amazing trips out there - from elephants in Laos to tigers in India.

However, a new range of holidays from British wildlife tour specialists has put the spotlight on the island of Taiwan for 2008.

The island has one of the highest concentrations of birds in the world, making it an ideal place to go on a wildlife watching holiday.

The country has 450 different species of birds, six national parks and some amazing landscapes to take in.

Among its most eye-catching and rare birds are Swinhoe's Pheasant, Hwamei and Flamecrest birds, and the brightly coloured Mikado Pheasants, Taiwan Blue Magpie and Vivid Niltava as well as the even rarer spoon-billed varieties

In late May 2008 Island Holidays Plus has a 15-night birding holiday to Taiwan for a group of up to 12 people, for £4,395 per person. Highlights of the break include visiting the northern mountainous areas of Taiwan, the eastern coastal areas as well as the capital, Taipei.
