3 days in Taipei Itinerary

Situated in a basin between two mountain ranges, Taipei appeals to tourists with its blend of Asian cultures, living side by side amidst Japanese-era mansions and Taoist temples.

Step out of Taipei with an excursion to Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street) in Ruifang--about 46 minutes away. The adventure continues: take an in-depth tour of National Palace Museum, hunt for treasures at Shilin Nightmarket, stop by Sugar & Spice Bakery Cafe - Dunhua S. Store Ⅱ, and browse the different shops at Taipei 101.

In September in Taipei, expect temperatures between 38°C during the day and 30°C at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 22nd (Sat) to allow enough time to travel back home.
