Taiwan Travelers Recommend

Taipei, the capital and largest city in Taiwan, has everything you’d want from a big city: monuments and museums, a buzzing nightlife, a rich food culture, easy transportation and some of Asia’s best shopping. Start your first day in Taipei with a trip to the top of its highest building, the Taipei 101. The world’s fastest elevator whisks you to the 89th floor, where an audio tour will point out some of the city’s major landmarks from the 360-degree windows. Check out the views from the outdoor observation deck, or mail a postcard from one of the highest mailboxes in the world. Taiwan has a very rich history, one you’ll explore today with a morning visit to the National Palace Museum. Considered one of the best museums in the world, the National Museum displays a collection of art, artifacts and relics spanning 8,000 years of Chinese and Taiwanese history.
