A Guide to Interning Abroad in Taiwan

Locations

Taiwan, officially named the Republic of China, has several major cities located around the relatively small island, each of which holds unique benefits for internships abroad. 

Taipei, the capital and most populated city, is the financial and cultural hub of the island, as well as the home of Taiwan’s government. Taipei and the surrounding metropolitan area consists of nearly 7 million people. The city’s skyscrapers are contrasted by beautiful mountain ranges and coastland; Taipei is also famous for its hot springs, located just north of the city. The capital is known for the production of electronics and machinery, as well as containing several large business finance headquarters. 

Taichung, south of Taipei, has everything an international intern might want; in fact, the city’s official motto is “an economic, cultural, and international city.” Taichung is hailed for its pleasant weather, often compared to the climate of California. The business districts of Taichung revolve around large manufacturing companies in the sporting goods and shoe industries, though small businesses, such as restaurants and tea houses, also thrive here.

The country’s second largest city, Kaohsiung, serves as Taiwan’s largest port city. The city has recently undergone several beautification projects; Kaohsiung boasts several major museums, architectural feats, and religious centers of worship. Kaohsiung boasts several large and diverse manufacturing industries, including metals, chemical products, and plastics. 

For those looking for a small town feel, Hsinchu offers a local experience only two hours away from bustling Taipei. Hsinchu is home to “Science Park,” an industrial park that numerous international manufacturing companies call home; Science Park is also home to several state-of-the-art research facilities in the emerging field of biotechnology, as well as information technology, producing microprocessors, and semiconductors. Historically, Hsinchu was famous for its artfully crafted glass and modernly, Hsinchu’s Science Park is famous for its growing optoelectronics (light-detecting devices) industry.
