Welcome to Taipei

Taipei is the Yin and Yang of cities: modern malls and trading towers stack next to smoky temples and Qing-era shophouses. Its beauty is born from a blend of Chinese, Japanese, Southeast Asian and American influences, seen from its cuisine to the courtesy of its people. Taipei today is a celebration of tolerance and taste. Welcome to Asias most progressive capital!

Insider tips to help you find the real Taipei
Taipei's tourist sights are world class, but what makes a trip here so special is sensing the city's true vibe, looking beneath the surface to see what makes it tick.

A Saunter Around Songshan

Night markets of snacks and shoes

Lover's point, riverside

Come evening, Songshan emerges as a centre for consuming goods of all kinds from pork buns to spangly bras. Dragon-guarded temples remind us to pay our respects between purchases. The river offers an escape from the crowds, chatter and bargaining, and a place where young couples seal their bond.

Dining and Drinking in Dongmen

Crumbling prison walls

Restaurants and bars

This is the eat, drink, and be merry decorously district. As dusk falls, office workers gather to drink a pint; families converge for chopstick-clattering dinners. This genteel neighbourhood also harbours quiet points of reflection, remnants of Japanese rule and memories of controversial leaders.

Shopping in Xinyi

Ritzy shopping malls

Tai chi in the park

On weekends, Xinyi explodes with shoppers happy snacking, relaxing with tea, and stopping to listen to street singers. This is modern Taipei, international Taipei, looking forward to a better future. In contrast, on the western fringe is the shady wooded Zhongshan Park where the retired carve out a little mellow corner.

Riding up the River

Flea market

Bird nature park

On weekends and holidays, the riverside paths become winding lanes of cyclists, joggers and friends just out for a stroll or walking their dog. At one point all is peace -- the city skyline reflecting in the water, forests of reeds, dotted with water birds and turtles -- the next erupts in a carnival of families picnicking and playing sports.
