Why visit Taipei

Taipei is an easy city to love: safe, walkable and full of food. Taipei 101 towers over the Xinyi district, temples such as Longshan hum with incense, and every evening the night markets fill with stalls selling beef noodles, oyster omelettes and bubble tea.

The north-east of the island is close enough for a day trip. The old gold-mining town of Jiufen climbs a hillside above the sea with lantern-lit teahouses, Shifen sends paper sky lanterns up over its railway line beside a broad waterfall, and on the coast at Yehliu the wind and waves have carved the rock into strange shapes.
