Avant-garde Taiwanese art and authentic Burmese biryani in Taipei

February 5, 2025103 Views

Taipei has held a special place in my heart since I first visited in 1994, the summer before I went to university in Britain to study Chinese, a language I was drawn to because of my interest in Taiwan and its unusual international situation. After periods studying and working in Taipei over the years, I returned full-time in 2019 as the Reuters Taiwan bureau chief. I have covered everything from elections and semiconductors to the thriving pop music scene, a blast from the past given the hours I spent as a young man perfecting my Chinese skills at all-night karaoke sessions. Taiwan is so much more than microchips and geopolitical tensions. Here is how to spend time in the capital and its environs, the local way: An exhibit at the National Palace Museum.

Red Bull Skydive Team member Max Manow has redefined the boundaries of aerial adventure in a stunning world-first. Over the dramatic landscapes of the Little Colorado River Tribal Park, Navajo Nation - a side arm of Arizona’s iconic Grand Canyon - the German skydiver leapt from a helicopter, latched onto a nosediving plane in mid-air, and ascended out of Hell Hole Bend canyon. From there, he embarked on what he calls his “endless skydive,” an achievement that is as daring as it is unprecedented.

Lodge manager and chef, George Newling-Ward, has once again transformed the food and beverage offering at a popular southern Thai ecolodge — Anurak Community Lodge beside Khao Sok national park in southern Thailand. His aim is to make food and drink at Anurak Lodge a reason to visit as much as hiking, biking, kayaking and planting trees in one of the most visually spectacular nature settings in southeast Asia. After a previous stint as manager at the ecolodge between 2018 and 2022, Newling-Ward, an acclaimed chef from the British Virgin Islands, returned to Anurak Community Lodge in October 2024.

A New Zealand mountain is granted personhood, recognizing it as sacred for Māori

February 1, 2025146 Views

A mountain in New Zealand considered an ancestor by Indigenous people was recognized as a legal person on Thursday after a new law granted it all the rights and responsibilities of a human being. Mount Taranaki — now known as Taranaki Maunga, its Māori name — is the latest natural feature to be granted personhood in New Zealand, which has ruled that a river and a stretch of sacred land are people before. The pristine, snow-capped dormant volcano is the second highest on New Zealand’s North Island at 2,518 meters (8,261 feet) and a popular spot for tourism, hiking and snow sports. The legal recognition acknowledges the mountain’s theft from the Māori of the Taranaki region after New Zealand was colonized. It fulfills an agreement of redress from the country’s government to Indigenous...
