Most of our understanding and imagination of Islamic culture comes from our experience in a foreign country when traveling abroad, as well as from discussions about the new southward policy and migration issues. One-sided and scattered information has long been piecing together the incomplete images of Muslims in our hearts, which has led to misunderstandings of the doctrines that Muslims must abide by in life.
In fact, there has always been a native Muslim population in Taiwan. They may be Muslims and descendants who have immigrated to Taiwan at different times, or they may be believers who have a keen interest in Islam and converted. Like Sophia, the archetypal character of the fairy girl in the album "Psychic Girl", is also a Muslim!
Living in an environment where Islamic beliefs are not mainstream, how do these minorities find a balance between Taiwanese culture and Islamic teachings? Walk with one person and walk into the real life of Taiwanese Muslims. The guide starts from his own Muslim identity and experience, and uses a relaxed perspective to interpret his most authentic daily life.

█ Secret visit to the mosque in Taipei-the master personally decoded the mysterious temple
You may have visited well-known mosques all over the world, but you have never had the opportunity to step into the nearest Taipei mosque. We solemnly invite Dr. Xilin Zhao, the headmaster of the Taipei Mosque, to personally give you a guided tour, from the appearance of the building, the body space to the "Maiziqian", to explain clearly for you.
█ Halal food search order-entertain Muslim friends, which one do you choose tonight?

**Zhao Yongning Anas Chao**
A Taiwanese born and raised in Saudi Arabia, a big boy with a childlike heart, if you don't say it, you might not find him a Muslim.
Since childhood, I have "mixed the Middle East" with my family! Those countries that we may not even know the geographic location have become the nutrients for his growth. He has a background in industrial design, and he is also a graphic designer, private Arabic chef, columnist, and commercial producer. At the beginning of this year, he issued a publication about Oman.
This time, the tentacles of the slash youth will extend into the tourism industry, from the identity of a Muslim, sharing his life style with his unique tone.
