What To Expect

1. Taipei Odds are, ambling down any street in Taipei would confront you with a million sights you’ve never seen before. Wouldn’t it be wonderful, in such an instance, to have somebody by your side to explain just what exactly is going on? With a local Taipei host, you’ll have that as you explore this bustling, vibrant and ridiculously colorful city together. Tell them what interests you, and then stick around for the journey.

2. Liberty Square You might like to start your day with a traditional Taiwanese breakfast before heading to Liberty Square. From here, many of the famous attractions are accessible to you, and you can get your history (and Instagram) kicks by exploring one or many of the surrounding temples and buildings.

3. Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a biggie! Ask your host about its political significance.

4. Bopiliao Ancient Street Travel back in time on Bopiliao Old Street - a relic from the Qing Dynasty,

5. You could catch a tangerine sunset at Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf.

6. Shilin Night Market You could sample some beef noodles, pepper buns, flame-torched sausages and soup dumplings. Are you brave enough for stinky tofu? We reckon you are.

7. Ximending Depending on the timing of your experience, you might like to check out the Shilin and Raohe night markets, climb Elephant Mountain for stellar views over the city, shop in trendy Ximending or get close to nature in Yangmingshan National Park.

8. Raohe Street Night Market Learn all about ingredients you never knew even existed and immerse yourself in this steamy world of culinary brilliance. Some modern apartments are built without kitchens because the nation’s kitchen is outside on the streets. Now that’s confidence in their street food scene.

9. Dihua Street You might want to tick off some famous sights, like Bao’an Temple, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Dihua Street, and let’s not forget that Taipei is all about street food. In fact, so entrenched is this daily ritual into the fabric of life here, that some apartments are built without kitchens - sample some pork belly buns and bubble tea to see why this would make perfect sense!

10. Elephant Mountain (aka Nangang District Hiking Trail) Your host will take care in mapping out a unique route for you which takes in the city's highlights as well as some hidden gems they know you’ll love
