A modern take on old traditions
Taipei City combines extremely modern technology with history: In this capital city of the Republic of China on Taiwan, you can find crowded malls filled with luxury and just next to them, 18th century temples color the landscape. The fast-growing city is home to Taipei 101, the world’s second tallest building which towers 509 meters above monuments such as the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Longshan Temple and the famous Ximending district.
Climb into gondolas at the exciting Taipei Zoo where you’ll get to see rare species such as koalas and pandas, and travel up the mountains to Zhinan temple and Maokong, where you’ll witness the thousand-year-old traditions of teamaking and praying.
