The Best of Taiwan
Taipei 101, Night Markets and Mountain Landscapes
Taiwan may be small in size, but it delivers an outsized travel experience—where soaring skyscrapers, misty mountains, and legendary street food exist within a few hours of one another. Blending Chinese heritage, Indigenous culture, and modern creativity, the island offers travelers remarkable diversity in a compact, easy-to-navigate setting.
Most journeys begin in Taipei, a dynamic capital where tradition and innovation meet. The iconic Taipei 101 dominates the skyline, once the world’s tallest building and still the city’s most recognizable landmark. Nearby, the treasures of the National Palace Museum reveal centuries of Chinese art and imperial history. As night falls, the city’s famous night markets—like Shilin—come alive with sizzling oyster omelets, beef noodle soup, and bubble tea.
Beyond the capital, nature takes center stage. The marble cliffs and turquoise rivers of Taroko Gorge offer breathtaking hiking trails, while Sun Moon Lake provides serene cycling routes framed by forested peaks. Along the southern coast, tropical beaches and laid-back towns invite slower exploration.
From cutting-edge cities to tranquil temples and dramatic landscapes, Taiwan is a destination where culture, cuisine, and scenery blend seamlessly—promising discovery at every turn.
