description Following Taiwan’s return to China in the aftermath of Japan’s defeat in 1945, Taiwan emerged as an important touristic focal point in the mainland. This was partly the result of the intensity of nationalist feeling that territorial repossession elicited. While the touristic rush that occurred was to some extent fuelled by patriotic enthusiasm, tourist patterns of this period did not, however, constitute a sudden rupture with those that had existed during the Japanese period. Tourism followed the imprint of colonialism. At the same time, a subtle shift in touristic emphasis operated under the new rule. While Taiwan’s modernization had commanded a degree of touristic attention during the colonial period, sites of modernity acquired a more marked touristic standing after retrocession. Taking into consideration these various aspects, this paper inquires about continuity and change between an established Japanese colonial tourist tradition and new Chinese post-colonial touristic concerns, with a focus on the ways in which tourism was shaped by colonial legacy and by post-colonial reaction.
