Come join us and see what Taipei has to offer!
Cultural Crossroads
Discover art and history at Taipei's many museums. Pay a visit to a temple, many of which are side-by-side to city skyscrapers. Watch the city come alive at night and enjoy the hustle and bustle of shopping districts and night markets. Or, take a day trip beyond city limits and experience scenic historical sites such as Jiufen Village, the mountainside town that recalls the beauty of Spirited Away, or Shifen Old Street, where you can make your wishes on a flying paper lantern.
The Great Outdoors
Experience scenic hiking and biking trails in the lush forests and mountains surrounding the city, or relax at the beaches in the seaside district of Tamsui. The city is a day trip away from sights such as Yehliu Geopark, Shifen Waterfall, and Yangmingshan National Park, which includes Taiwan's tallest dormant volcano.
Have You Eaten Yet?
In Taiwanese, a common greeting literally translates to, "have you eaten yet?" And no wonder, as Taiwan's melting pot of indigenous, Hakka, Japanese, American, and various Chinese cuisines, there is also something for everyone to eat! Among the heat and noise of Taipei's night markets you'll find snacks and treats you can get no where else in the world. Don't miss signature dishes such as Taiwanese beef noodle soup. Taiwan is also the birthplace of bubble tea, famous restaurant Din Tai Fung, bakery and cafe 85C, and dessert chain Meet Fresh.
