Taipei 101

Taipei is located in northern Taiwan, including the northeastern part of the Taipei basin and the surrounding hilly region. Thanks to advances in economic development and the robust convenient transportation systems, important international conferences and exhibitions are frequently held here in Taipei, drawing overseas travelers to visit, to do business, to stay and study in Taipei City. Its ethnic fusion has styled Taipei to become a melting pot of cultural diversity.

National Palace Museum

The well-known National Palace Museum was first established in 1925 and re-established in 1965. The museum exhibits the most precious and important historical documentations, paintings, arts, and crafts reflecting the rich cultural heritage and civilization of the ancient Chinese. Treasures include ancient Chinese paintings, ceramics, jade sculptures, remains of bronze weapons and many other antiques. The wide priceless collection of the crafts covers five thousand years of Chinese history.

Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall

The great building has become a landmark of Taipei City. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is located in the heart of Taipei City. The place is enriched with the beauty of traditional Chinese gardens. The area is 250,000 square meters and it is the attraction most visited by foreign tourists

Shilin Night Market

Night markets in Taiwan are street markets in Taiwan that operate in urban or suburban areas. They are similar to those in areas inhabited by ethnic Chinese, such as Southeast Asia. Night markets in Taiwan have become famous for their xiaochi foods (xiaochi roughly translates to "small eats" or finger foods). In recent years, many of the night markets have become popular tourist destinations among sightseeing foreign travelers. It’s common to see many travelers with cameras, snapping photographs amidst the crowds (and of the crowds) within the streets.
