SYDNEY, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwan Tourism invites travellers to experience the island through a deeper, more meaningful lens. Centred around three pillars — Culinary exploration, Aboriginal heritage, and the art of Slow travel — this celebrates Taiwan’s rich cultural tapestry and encourages visitors to savour every moment.

As evening falls, night markets come alive with sizzling street food—oyster omelette, salt and pepper chicken, and stinky tofu showcase Taiwan’s bold flavours. Not forgetting lesser-known indigenous dishes such as bamboo rice, stone hot pots, and grilled wild boar. crafted from local ingredients and traditional techniques.

Taiwanese cuisine combines influences from Hokkien, Hakka, Indigenous, and international culinary traditions, creating a rich and flavourful mosaic. Signature dishes include three-cup chicken and oyster pancakes, Hakka-style braised pork with preserved vegetables. These offerings reflect Taiwan’s diverse cultural heritage and provide an exciting culinary experience for every palate.

Taiwan’s fresh tropical fruits, especially mangoes and pineapples, add a sweet finish to this flavourful journey.

Celebrating Aboriginal Culture

Taiwan is the birthplace of Austronesian culture. Today, Taiwan officially recognizes 16 Indigenous tribes, each with distinct languages, customs, and artistic traditions. These communities, making up 2.5% of the population, preserve ancient heritage while embracing modern creativity.

Travellers can experience this living culture through vibrant festivals, polyphonic chants, and traditional dances. Indigenous arts and crafts—like weaving, woodcarving, and beadwork—reflect deep spiritual meaning. Local cuisine features ingredients such as millet, taro, and mountain greens.

Regions like Hualien, Taitung, and Pingtung offer immersive community tourism, where visitors engage with Indigenous storytelling, nature, and sustainable living.

For travellers from New Zealand and Australia, Taiwan offers a unique connection to the wider Austronesian world—an invitation to explore shared roots and living traditions.

A Slow-Travel Paradise of Nature and Wellness

Looking for a vacation that blends stunning landscapes with deep relaxation? Taiwan offers a unique slow-travel experience, where nature and wellness go hand in hand. Nestled along the Pacific Ring of Fire, Taiwan boasts diverse geothermal springs—from the sulfur-rich Beitou Hot Springs in Taipei to the rare mud springs of Guanziling and the serene Zhiben Hot Springs in Taitung.

Beyond hot springs, Taiwan’s top destinations like Hualien, Taitung, Kenting, and Sun Moon Lake invite travellers to unwind amid gorges, beaches and tranquil lakes. Alishan’s sunrise and sea of clouds offer breathtaking moments of peace.

Slow living is a way of life here—sip high-mountain tea in a traditional teahouse, stroll along one of Taiwan’s 307 beaches or hike among its 286 towering peaks. With heartfelt hospitality and rich natural resources, Taiwan is the perfect place to rejuvenate your body and soul.

Hengan International’s MSCI ESG Rating Elevates to “A”, Coupled with Continued Impressive Performance Across Multiple Key International ESG Indicators


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 September 2025 – Hengan International Group Company Limited (“Hengan International” or the “Company”, SEHK stock code: 1044, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is pleased to announce that in the recently released 2025 Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) ratings by the leading global index provider MSCI, Hengan International’s rating has elevated from “BBB” to “A”, ranking first in China’s household and personal products industry. This highlights the Group’s impressive performance in sustainable development and the strong international recognition it has garnered.

The MSCI ESG rating is a global authoritative assessment system widely adopted by institutional investors. It annually conducts a comprehensive evaluation of listed companies included in its indices from the three dimensions of environment, social, and governance, aiming to measure enterprises’ ability to manage long-term ESG risks. The rating is regarded not only as an authoritative reference indicator in the international capital markets, but also as an important tool for companies to enhance international recognition and optimize financing capabilities.

Hengan International’s MSCI ESG rating has steadily improved in recent years, showing continuous positive performance. The 2025 rating results demonstrate that the Group significantly increased its scores on issues such as product carbon footprint, raw material sourcing, and chemical safety, all exceeding the industry average levels, fully reflecting the Company’s excellence across multiple ESG dimensions.

As one of the Group’s three core strategies, Hengan International practices responsibility with the pursuit of “long-termism”, disclosing ESG Report for nine consecutive years and Climate-related Disclosure Report for three consecutive years, demonstrating its commitment and achievements in sustainable development through transparent public disclosures. In 2024, the Group launched the “GROWTH” ESG strategic framework, focusing on six core areas: Governance & Ethical Practices, Resource Conservation & Efficiency, Outstanding Customer Care, Workforce Wellbeing & Empowerment, Trusted Partnerships, and Health & Community Engagement, laying a solid foundation for its long-term vision of “achieving 100 billion in 100 years”.

In 2025, Hengan International has boasted impressive performance across various prestigious international ESG indicators. At the end of August, S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) announced the Group’s latest 2025 evaluation results, with its score climbing from 56 in 2024 to 62. By September 2025, the Group’s score far exceeded the industry average of 32, outperforming 91% of its peers and ranking 9th globally.

Additionally, the Group has maintained an “A” rating in the Hang Seng ESG Rating released in September and has been included in the “Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Benchmark Index” for two consecutive years as the only selected candidate in China’s household paper and maternal and child hygiene products industry in 2025. Furthermore, the Group has been listed for three consecutive years in the S&P Global “Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition)” and recognized as the “Industry Mover”, becoming a benchmark enterprise for ESG development in the household products industry.

In 2025, Hengan International’s MSCI ESG rating elevated to “A,” coupled with continuous breakthroughs across multiple ESG indicators, reflecting strong recognition from multiple international authoritative institutions. Looking forward, underpinned by the “GROWTH” strategy, the Group will deepen the integration and innovation of ESG and business development, achieving breakthroughs in key areas of environment, social, and governance, and striving to become a leading benchmark for sustainability in the industry.
