Since R.O.C government allowed students from China to come to Taiwan to have short-terms exchanges on 1999, the students who take the chance increased year by year. According to our government’s statement, short-term exchanges bring understanding of each others, so this dissertation wants to find out what kind of change of Mainland China students’ Taiwan images after their short-term exchange, hope to proof that cross-strait exchange did bring some changes. In this paper, qualitative research found that: first, the impact of government on the Mainland China students’ Taiwan images are deeply rooted, while their peers are also an important way to construct and confirm their Taiwan images; moreover, their impressions of Taiwan's economy generally decline after their exchanges, they feel contradicted while the facts of Taiwan’s culture and history situations nowadays is far away of what they used to know, and their images of Taiwan’s politics are quite different due to their experiences of exchanges, but these research conclusions above didn’t show up at the quantitative research paper, possibly because of the limited number of samples, or didn’t have a panel study. There are three main findings in this study: first, Mainland China students’ Taiwan images before they came to Taiwan mostly are: friendly people, relaxed society, preserve lots of traditional cultures, economy well developed, is a democracy regime with a parliament chaos. Second, the entirely image after a short-term exchange is usually getting better, but the images of Taiwan’s economy are often getting worse. Last but not the least, the relation between having experiments of visit government organizations and the changes of Mainland China students’ Taiwan images have positive correlation, but as the model test didn’t pass, it’s hard to say that there’s a impact between the exchange experiments and images changing.
