This paper explores the presentation of exotic cultural encounters by the France-based Taiwanese author Pao-Chuan Cheng in her travel writings. Motivated by her cross-cultural experiences, she exercises her writing skills eruditely and masterfully to command her writing subjectivity with a kind of flaneur aesthetic. The texts by Cheng generally begin from her home in France, presenting her perspective on various itineraries from the very same starting point. She shows a charming ease in her assimilation of ”the self” and ”the other” in her works. In terms of exotic cultures, she observes the French national characters, speaks for the socially margined, criticizes the ”oriental exoticism” in Western culture, and extends her connection to the whole world. Going beyond the perspectives of nostalgia and nationality that are usually found in the writings of Chinese authors who were educated overseas, Cheng's works have inspired a new direction in such texts since the 1990s.
