Taipei

Taipei, the vibrant capital of Taiwan, is a city where tradition meets innovation. It is known for its bustling night markets, iconic skyscrapers like Taipei 101, and deep cultural roots, which together create an exciting mix of old and new. Visitors can explore ancient temples such as Longshan Temple, then unwind in natural hot springs at Beitou, and afterward enjoy panoramic city views from Elephant Mountain. The city’s renowned street food scene, from stinky tofu to bubble tea, reflects its diverse flavors and warm hospitality. With efficient public transport, friendly locals, and year-round events, Taipei invites everyone to experience the unique rhythm of Taiwanese life.

Taipei through travelers' eyes

I fell in love with Taipei’s street food scene! The night markets are amazing, especially Shilin and Raohe. The people are kind and helpful, and the MRT is super easy to use. The city feels safe even late at night.

stayed in Taipei for a week and honestly didn’t want to leave. The hot springs in Beitou were relaxing, and the bubble tea here is unbeatable. It rains quite often though, so bring an umbrella!

One of the best parts about Taipei is how green it is. Even in the middle of the city, you’ll find trees, small parks, and hiking trails. It feels very livable.

Taipei is a charming city with great food and friendly people, but the weather can be unpredictable, it rained almost every afternoon during my trip.

I didn’t expect Taipei to be this green. Parks are everywhere, and the people care about the environment. Prices are fair compared to Japan or Korea, so it’s budget-friendly.
