Taipei stands out as one of the most welcoming cities in Asia — you get to experience all of the intricacies and wonder of authentic Chinese culture combined with extremely high degrees of safety, public transportation, great weather, amazing food, and friendly people!
We always build in the heart of the city, right on top of MRT Stations for public transport access. This area in Downtown Taipei has great boutique shopping that can appeal to people of any taste: from high-end restaurants and elegant nightclubs for the partygoer to fashionable Chinese and Western clothing, high-end electronics, art galleries, and little street-corner eateries and fresh fruit shops!
It's an area where you can rendezvous with friends or family, so people of different ages traveling together can experience different interests.
How about some culture? Taipei has a mix of traditional Chinese culture combined with modern cleanliness and convenience. You can take fast, reliable, and inexpensive public transit anywhere in the city and enjoy art exhibitions, the National Palace Museum, and various interesting historical districts.
Do you like learning? Taiwan is a great center for learning traditional Chinese, with its cultural connection to the artistry and poetry of the classical Chinese Dynasties. The city government of Taiwan has additionally made huge investments into promoting traditional Chinese arts, such as annual festivals to promote traditional Chinese language and poetry. Visiting Taipei during one of these festivals is a wonderful experience that connects you rapidly to the roots of Asia. Try learning some calligraphy while you're here, too -- Taipei is arguably the finest city in the world to learn Chinese calligraphy.
All of Taipei has been built with city-planning that includes parks and green space: it's refreshing to be in such an urban city and have time to enjoy a still moment in a fun and well-built park where children are playing.
And if you want to experience a mix of nature and pampering luxury, you're only a 40-minute MRT ride away from the fantastic Xinbeitou Hot Springs, where you can see the steam rising from an awe-inspiring hot water river -- and go for a soak yourself in a high-end hotel's private hotspring room, or in a public bath!
You'll eat well while you're in Taiwan, with clean and flavorful food. One favorite among travelers are the "Night Markets," areas built up around traditional temple grounds where worshippers could get food after service. Nowadays, Taiwanese and visitors of all ages congregate for fantastic food and tea. For around 2 U.S. dollars, you can get a fantastic meal at the night market, and take in a bustling cultural experience at the same time.
You'll live well in Taipei and find lots to do, but the most crucial thing element of Taiwan is its people. Taiwan is a modern democracy where people are highly-educated, healthy, happy, and courteous. You'll find it easy to blend in if you like, or make new friends. You're going to experience a level of service, courtesy, and friendliness that will make you want to return again and again. Taipei is particularly enjoyable for travelers since the locals are familiar with travelers, meaning you won't get pointing and staring, but still endlessly enjoy making foreign friends. That's a tough balance to find, and fantastic for the visitor. You can relax and experience courtesy while just "blending in" on days you want to relax, and you can easily socialize and make new friends and connections on days you want to explore!
