Taipei City Highlights
- Meet your tour guide at a pre-decided location and make your way around the city.
Stroll through the old Dihua Street, also known as the Lunar New Year shopping district. Indulge in some souvenir shopping in shops selling items for Chinese New Year, old traditional ware, and cultural artefacts.
- Make your way to the Longshan Temple, located in the Wanhua district in the west of Taipei. Tourists here can pray for love in front of Yue Lao, or The Old Man under the Moon. It was built in 1738 by Fujian settlers for the safety of the neighbourhood. 280 years later, Longshan remains the spiritual heart of Taipei. The Huaxi Night market, Herb Lane, and Bopiliao nearby are also good to see.
Visit Taipei 101, once the world's tallest building. The tower's architecture is based on the idea of bamboo, a symbol with great meaning in traditional Chinese culture. The Taipei 101 high-speed elevator will take you up the tower. Marvel as you see the scenery changing at varying heights. See a huge protective wind damper on the 88th floor and see a spectacular sight of the Taipei cityscape from 382 metres above the ground at the indoor observatory on the 89th floor. You can see the Taipei Basin, Xinbeitou Hot Springs, Huashan Creative Park, and the Xingtian Temple from the 91st floor.
Set out to the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, an important landmark for Taiwan’s democratic progress. It is also where the National Theater and Concert Hall are located.
