At the beginning of the 1990s, following the rise in popularity of travel in Taiwan a great number of exploration travelogues started to come onto the market. At first, the contents gave but a taste of various destinations, but slowly the works began to take on the flavor of exploration literature or even more serious treatises.
一九九○年代開始，隨著國內旅遊風氣興盛，大量的探險旅行書籍面市，內容也從目的地的花絮性介紹，慢慢過渡到探險文學或是較嚴肅的論述。
