Located in the northern part of Taiwan, Taipei has the highest concentration in business, financial, academic and politic. As a cosmopolitan city, Taipei is an ideal place for those who love bustling city. Because of the city’s traffic and pollution, you might find Taipei unpleasant to get around, but by using Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), you can avoid getting stuck in traffic.
In this diverse city, you will experience a blend of traditional and modern Chinese culture. Cultural sites in Taipei include the famous and stunning Longshan Temple, as well as the National Palace Museum, which displays fine collections of Chinese art and artifacts. Other sites of interest that you shouldn’t miss are the well-known Taipei 101, the world’s tallest building in 2005, and the exquisite gardens at Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall.
With its hilly geography, Taipei is also popular for sulfur springs in Bei Tou and Hell Valley. You can either dip in the public hot springs or relax in the hotel’s outdoor or indoor baths.
