Overview

Trip Overview

For your first time in Taipei, this three-day journey gathers the city's classics in one sweep: from the world-class treasures of the National Palace Museum to the once-tallest Taipei 101, from the solemn honor guards at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to the sizzling stalls of Shilin Night Market. We ride the MRT and slip into alleys the way locals do, reading Taipei's past and present in just a few days — then finish with the lantern-lit hillside town of Jiufen.
