About Taipei

The American website BuzzFeed placed Taipei 20th on its 2015 list of “53 Beautiful Cities Everyone Should Visit at Least Once.” As well, CNN.com listed Taipei among the top 10 cities in its “Which destination has the world’s best food?” rankings. Here are the things you must do in Taipei.

Must-Eat

Must-BuyUnique Lanes and AlleysEstablished more than 130 years ago, Taipei offers splendid works of classic architecture in different styles from different eras. This cultural-creative vitality extends down into its lively grids of lanes and alleys, where distinctive lane/alley cultures have emerged in each neighborhood. Examples: the chic fashion of the East District’s lanes, artistic air of Zhongshan North Road’s lanes, hot-spring culture of Beitou’s lanes, youth-oriented pop chic of Ximending’s lanes. All have become must-visit attractions with tourists.

Go to Dadaocheng, Dalongtong, and other old-city areas for glimpses of Taipei’s glory and elegance over the past century. Beyond Cisheng Temple, Baoan Temple, and the many types of heritage architecture, feel the strong cultural-creative atmosphere. The Wen-Luo-Ting, Yongkang, Qingtian, and Longquan neighborhoods are home to a great many independent cafes and bookshops, where what is sold is not just coffee and publications, but rich cultural heritage as well.

Distinctive Humanistic BookstoresTaipei also has a fascinating “book fragrance” culture. There are bookstores that stay open 24/7, international chain bookstores, independent bookstores, secondhand bookshops, bookstores selling antique titles and painting/calligraphy works, etc. These vividly display the Taipei people’s love of knowledge and respect for book learning, and are delightful additions to the city’s aesthetics.

Natural Landscapes and TrailsSurrounded by mountains, the city offers rich natural landscapes to explore. A prime example is Four Beasts Mountain, near Xinyi District, a great place for hiking and for taking in the spectacular Taipei 101 fireworks show each New Year’s Eve. Beitou District’s tourist-oriented hot-spring resort area and Shilin District’s Yangmingshan National Park are grand places to embrace nature’s beauties. Wenshan District’s Taipei Zoo, Zhinan Temple, and Maokong Gondola, which whisks you to the Maokong tea-plantation/teahouse area, are fine spots to immerse yourself in natural scenic splendor and rich tea fragrance.

Geographical Position

Taipei, located in Taiwan’s north, has an area of 271.8 sq. km, and is situated in a basin. Rich in leisure and recreation, cultural arts, heritage sites, and other attractions, it enjoys a superb geographical position and traffic environment.

Climate

Situated near the 25th parallel north, the city has a subtropical island climate influenced by its basin location. The Taipei summers and autumns are hot and humid, the springs and winters cool and mild, and there is clear differentiation between the four seasons. March to May generally marks the spring season, June ~ August summer, September ~ November autumn, and December ~ February winter.

History

In the 1500s Portuguese maritimers, the first Westerners to espy Taiwan, christened it Ilha Formosa, the “beautiful island.” It were Inhabited by numerous indigenous tribal peoples, then Han Chinese in great number from China’s Fujian and Hakka from Guangdong provinces began to open land at the start of the 18th century. In the late 19th century Taipei was declared a prefectural capital and a walled city was built. Taipei became the island’s leading center. Liu Ming-chuan was declared Taiwan’s first Governor, and commenced a building program. This period was followed by the Japanese era and early Republican period, after the Nationalist government moved to Taiwan. Now over 130 years old, the city has a population of 2.7 million.

Transportation

Taipei has a comprehensive transportation network. The convenient MRT has five main lines and two branch lines, with 117 stations, and there are over 300 public-bus routes. It has four Taiwan Railways stations, and the railway network reaches all cities and counties. If you require rapid shuttling between Taiwan’s north and south, the Taiwan High Speed Rail network provides a lightning-quick option. Songshan Airport, located in the city’s heart, provides both domestic and international route services, giving visitors from around the world quick access to the city’s core.

Delicacies Recommended by CNNFor travelers who like good eating, Taipei is a foodie paradise. In CNN’s 2015 report on a vote by travelers from around the world on their favorite Taiwan foods, braised pork rice was no. 1, beef noodles no. 2, oyster omelets no. 3, and pearl milk tea (bubble tea) no. 4. Other treasures on the list were xiaolongbao (steamed dumplings), pepper cakes, shuijiao (boiled dumplings), oyster vermicelli, stinky tofu, fried rice-flour noodles, Taiwanese sausage with sticky rice, tian bu la (“Taiwanese take on Japanese oden”), runbing (steamed spring rolls), tube rice pudding, thick cuttlefish soup, Dongshan marinated duck head, rou yuan (“meat balls”), chicken rice, salted crispy-fried (“popcorn”) chicken, flaky scallion pancakes, “burned” grass (herbal) jelly, and mango ice act.. Each is a unique flavor-packed food of the common people, inexpensive and delicious.

Pastries and TeasTaipei is a city where the traditional and chicly ultra-modern co-exist in harmony. At many heritage shops the tried and tested-true ways of old are faithfully adhered to, the result one-of-a-kind specialty foods and handicrafts of great character. When in Taipei, travelers must not forego the chance to buy the internationally renowned local pineapple cakes, mung-bean cakes, nougat candies, meat jerky, and other souvenir items. The specialty Tieguanyin (Iron Goddess) and Baozhong teas from the Maokong tea plantations and Nangang Tea Processing Demonstration Center, in the city’s rural outlying areas, are widely renowned premium teas that are must-buy choices with tea-aficionado travelers.

Cultural-Creative GiftsTaipei is also a place of blooming cultural-creative vitality offering myriad innovative gift and souvenir items that will make people happy. Good examples are the Taipei City Government’s “city image” souvenirs, such as its Discovery of Ximending puzzle and Taipei Classic Gift Boxes, melding traditional culture into everyday life. Ximending and Taipei 101 offer youth-focused trendy merchandise. These complement the deep impression left by the city’s wonderful cuisine with visitors, providing them with gift purchases that give a cherished taste of Taipei’s unique style and character.
