Welcome to Taiwan’s magnificent capital, Taipei, where beautiful skyscrapers stands tall all around you. Taipei is well-known for its landmark, like Taipei 101 and the Taipei Main Station, to name a few. It is a perfect idea to come to Taipei for a vacation either alone, or with your family and friends. The main reason for this is because as you walk around the city, you will find either landmarks or attractions; from historic buildings and museums, to shopping malls and if you stay on later in the night, you will find night markets that sell famous and affordable Taiwanese street food. Imagine eating the most original, original Taiwanese Crispy Chicken! Oh, not to mention their delicious boba. Yum...
