Whomever says that wallowing too long in a capital city is a cardinal sin of travel, clearly never spent much time exploring Taipei[1].
I’ll partially agree: On the surface the capital of Taiwan isn’t so different than other cities in East Asia. And, sure, even with all the exciting night markets[2] and engaging Taipei attractions[3] to check out, there’s only so much you can take before you crave something different.
The magic of Taipei, however, lies not just in the city streets, but in all the places around it. The diversity of day trips from Taipei is enough to keep you busy for weeks!
Even if you decide to stay in Taipei during most of your first trip to Taiwan[4], you’ll come to appreciate more of the country than you thought possible simply by hopping on a bus or a train for a short jaunt outside of the city.
Still unsure of whether sticking around Taipei is worth it? Let me convince you with these awesome Taipei day trips…
