But when asked their top ten destinations in Taiwan, Japanese list, in order, Wulai, Taroko Gorge, Chiufen, Sun Moon Lake, Kaohsiung's night market, the National Palace Museum, Taipei 101, Peitou, Shihlin Night Market, and Tanshui. Central and southern Taiwan prove to have much undeveloped potential for tourism.
但若詢問日人最喜歡的「台灣十景」，則依序為烏來、花蓮太魯閣、九份、南投日月潭、高雄夜市、故宮、台北 101、北投、士林夜市以及淡水，顯見中南部的觀光景點，仍有很大的潛力與成長空間。
