About Taipei
Taipei, the dynamic capital of Taiwan, is a city that delights with its perfect fusion of ancient Chinese traditions and modern innovation. Towering Taipei 101 — once the world's tallest building — dominates the skyline, whilst centuries-old temples and bustling night markets thrive in its shadow. Taiwan's culinary scene is legendary, and Taipei's night markets are the beating heart of it, offering everything from xiao long bao to stinky tofu. Surrounded by lush mountains and natural hot springs, Taipei also provides easy escapes into nature, making it a wonderfully well-rounded destination for culture, cuisine, and outdoor adventure.
