Welcome to
Taipei
Taiwan
Taipei is one of Asia's most underrated cities — a friendly, safe, and exceptionally well-organised capital that combines Chinese cultural heritage, Japanese colonial influences, and a uniquely Taiwanese creativity in food, design, and democratic civic life. The night markets of Shilin, Raohe, and Ningxia are legendary — stinky tofu, oyster vermicelli, scallion pancakes — and the city's beef noodle soup is considered by many food writers to be one of the world's perfect dishes. Taipei 101 towers above a city that also offers hot spring baths in Beitou, the tea plantations and hiking trails of Maokong, and the National Palace Museum's collection of Chinese imperial treasures, making it one of Asia's most complete travel experiences.
