Taipei became provincial Taiwan’s administrative center in 1884 and has served as the capital of the Republic of China since 1945. Despite its relative youth there are a wealth of sights in this dynamic city, including Memorial Halls dedicated to Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek, Lungshan Temple, the creative hub of the Huashan district and some of Asia’s best museums.
Though recently eclipsed as the tallest building in the world, the unusually shaped Taipei 101 remains the symbol of modern Taipei and offers breathtaking views from its observatories.
Taipei is also famed for its excellent night markets which offer authentic cuisine and souvenir-hunting in the cool of the evening.

What a wonderful way to be introduced to this breath taking city! Me and a friend were very impressed and would reccomend to anyone. Its a simple yet a quick introduction to the Taiwanese culture. We were so impressed with their pick up service at our small and out of the way hostel we stayed at.
