Taipei, Taiwan — Taipei 101

Taipei

Polite, night-market-scented, and more mountain-rim than skyscraper

The City in One Minute

Taipei is a basin city of night markets, mountains on the rim, and a metro that makes the whole town feel considerate. Steam from a dumpling house at 10pm is the civic smell; temples sit in the same block as a 7-Eleven.

Why Visit?

Visit Taipei for a Mandarin-speaking city that is kinder and more night-market-led than many first-timers expect. Tokyo has the precision; here you get steam at 10pm, bubble tea, and a hike from the last MRT stop.

How Long Should You Stay?

4–5 days

Before You Go

  • An EasyCard covers MRT, buses, and many convenience stores. Get it at the airport.
  • Typhoons cancel peaks and night markets. Check the Central Weather Administration.
  • Cash still matters at stalls. ATMs are everywhere; a little paper money is freedom.

Good to Know

The unobvious notes are still being collected

This is where late-discovered context will live — the things travelers usually learn too late.
