Taipei

Taipei is best known within Taiwan for Taipei 101, the landmark tower that has become a symbol of the capital. Set in the Taipei Basin beside the Tamsui River, the city brings dense commercial districts close to the slopes of Yangmingshan National Park. Its streets move between temples, night markets and major museums; the National Palace Museum holds one of the world’s foremost collections of Chinese imperial art. Longshan Temple, founded in the 18th century, remains an important Buddhist and folk-religion site in Wanhua. Metro links make it easy to trace the contrast between historic neighbourhoods and the modern east side.
