Taipei

Taipei is Taiwan's vibrant capital and one of East Asia's most exciting urban travel destinations, where tradition and modern innovation meet in daily life. The city is known for its open and welcoming atmosphere, as well as a world-class food culture. The famous night markets, such as Shilin and Raohe, are central experiences, offering local specialties like xiao long bao, fried noodles, and bubble tea side by side in a colorful chaos of scents and sounds. Taipei 101 is the city's icon and a symbol of Taiwan's technological ambitions, featuring one of the world's fastest elevators and a view showcasing both skyscrapers and surrounding mountains. At the same time, Taipei offers surprising amounts of nature close to the city center—especially in Beitou, where hot springs with sulfur-rich waters and lush surroundings create a peaceful retreat. Temples, shopping districts, modern cafes, and green spaces blend seamlessly, making Taipei a metropolis that is intense without being overwhelming and easy to fall in love with.
