Even if you’ve only got 10 days in Taiwan[1], nothing will give you a better first appreciation of the country than wandering around for at least 48 hours in Taipei.
If you’ve skipped forging a Taipei itinerary every time you’ve slapped together your Asian travel plans, you’re not alone. With high-profile East Asian cities a quick flight away in every direction, poor ol’ Taipei rarely gets the attention it deserves from travellers.
It’s a shame because, in many ways, the Taiwanese capital rolls the best of all of East Asia all into one. It’s got innovation without the high price tags, cultural intrigue without a strict visa regime, and for food, well, Taipei might just trump them all.
