About Taipei
City overview
Taipei sits in a mountain-ringed basin where the Tamsui and Keelung rivers, MRT lines, and surrounding hot-spring hills shape daily travel. Xinyi, Wanhua, Daan, Shilin, Beitou, and Wenshan each give a different version of the city: tower skyline, old temples, student food streets, museums, baths, and tea mountains.
Food & drink
Taipei is built for grazing: beef noodle soup, oyster omelet, oyster vermicelli, fried chicken fillet, stinky tofu, xiaolongbao, and aiyu jelly all belong on a first trip. Shilin, Ningxia, and Raohe night markets cover snacks, Yongkang Street is a beef-noodle and shaved-ice anchor, Din Tai Fung began on Xinyi Road, and prices stay lower than Tokyo, Seoul, or Hong Kong unless you choose hotel dining or Michelin tasting rooms.

1Longshan Temple
4.5★ · 49,748indoorOpen dailyWanhua's Longshan Temple is the best first stop for old Taipei temple life, incense, carved roof detail, and the surrounding herb and night-market lanes. Combine it with Ximending on the same MRT line.
2Beitou Hot Springs
4.5★ · 11,965indoorClosed MonBeitou turns the northern MRT line into a hot-spring district with public baths, hotels, the Hot Spring Museum, and steaming Thermal Valley. Winter and rainy days make it feel especially useful.
3Taipei 101
4.5★mixedThe 101-floor Xinyi tower is the skyline marker and New Year fireworks stage, with an observation deck above the shopping podium. Pair it with Elephant Mountain for the outside view back to the tower.

4Elephant Mountain (Xiangshan)
The stair climb above Xinyi gives the classic Taipei 101 photo angle. Go before sunset, bring water, and expect the stone platforms to crowd on clear evenings.
5Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
The white memorial hall, blue roof, Liberty Square, National Theater, and National Concert Hall form Taipei's largest ceremonial civic space in Zhongzheng. Guard-change timing shapes most visits.
Wikipedia6National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine
The shrine north of the city centre is known for formal guard ceremonies and a quieter setting than Liberty Square. It pairs well with the National Palace Museum or Shilin stops.
Wikipedia7Maokong Gondola & Taipei Zoo
The gondola climbs from Taipei Zoo into Wenshan tea country, making Maokong the easiest mountain-and-teahouse half-day on the MRT network. Clear late afternoons give the best city views.
8Shilin, Ningxia & Raohe night markets
Taipei's night markets turn dinner into a route: Shilin is the largest name, Ningxia is compact and food-focused, and Raohe runs in a single lantern-lit line near Songshan. They are the easiest way to sample multiple snacks without a restaurant booking.
Neighborhoods
1Xinyi
Xinyi is the skyline district: Taipei 101, department stores, city hall, clubs, and Elephant Mountain access. It is clean, vertical, and pricier than the older west side.
2Wanhua & Ximending
Wanhua is Taipei's old core around Longshan Temple, while Ximending adds youth fashion, cinemas, street snacks, and pedestrian neon. The contrast is the point: temple incense and pop retail sit minutes apart.
3Zhongzheng
Zhongzheng is the political and academic centre, with Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, government buildings, Taipei Main Station, and access to Gongguan and National Taiwan University areas.

Taipei's leafy central-east district, where university streets, residential lanes, and major boulevards meet.

Day trips
22km / about 40m by MRT Red Line from Taipei Main Station
Tamsui
Tamsui gives Taipei a river-mouth promenade, Fort San Domingo, sunset snacks, and ferry options. It is the easiest half-day that still feels outside the city.
35km / about 1h by train to Ruifang, then bus or taxi
Jiufen
Jiufen climbs a hillside of teahouses, stair lanes, and old gold-mining views toward the northeast coast. Go weekday or early because the main steps choke with day-tour traffic.
40km / about 75-90m by train via Ruifang to the Pingxi Line
Pingxi
Pingxi and Shifen are the sky-lantern and waterfall day trip on the old branch railway. Around the Lantern Festival, crowd control changes the whole transport plan.
Getting around
Taipei MRT trains run roughly 06:00-midnight, with EasyCard fares usually NT20-65 and a 20% discount on many rides; the same card works on buses, YouBike, and convenience-store payments. Taoyuan Airport MRT Express reaches Taipei Main Station in about 38 minutes for around NT150-160, while Maokong Gondola and river/MRT combinations handle the mountain and Tamsui edges.
