Taipei

Big flavours, bright lights and a snack for every five steps. 
Taipei does things its own way. It's temples glowing between skyscrapers, hot springs in the hills, and night markets that feel like a festival every evening. It's fast, friendly, easy to get around and impossible to leave without a new favourite food. 

Things to do in Taipei start high and finish hungry. Ride to the top of Taipei 101 for a skyline view that stretches across the city, then head street-level for steamed buns, bubble tea and way too many reasons to stop walking. Soak in the Beitou hot springs, explore the grand steps of Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, or just follow the MRT and hop off anywhere that smells amazing. 

At night, it gets loud in the best way. Taipei's night markets are where the magic happens -dumplings from Din Tai Fung, flame-grilled skewers, fried chicken the size of your face and tofu that might surprise you. 

Taipei is built for wanderers, snackers and anyone who appreciates a city that knows how to have fun without trying too hard. Come with an appetite, leave with a camera roll full of food and a strong opinion on which market does it best.
