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.

Change things up with a short trip to Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street) in Ruifang (about 46 minutes away). And it doesn't end there: appreciate the history behind Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, don't miss a visit to Elephant Mountain (aka Nangang District Hiking Trail), admire the striking features of Taipei 101, and browse the eclectic array of goods at Shilin Night Market.
