Taipei, a true world city! 🏙️ ☕️ 🍲

This was my second time in Taiwan and a chance for me to rediscover one of my favourite cities, Taipei. There is something so special about Taipei, it’s so modern and developed but still steeped in history throughout it’s many districts. I stayed near the Taipei stadium and mainly used Ubers / walking to get around, as much as I love the metro I find Taipei is a city I want to see as I move around.

I started with a hike up Elephant mountain to see the stunning cityscape before it got too hot, it’s easy to get to by metro, bus and uber (for uber put in the arabica coffee shop as the destination to be dropped off right at the start of the trail)

Taipei 101 is the true hub of the modern city and it is surrounded by malls, coffee shops and restaurants at it’s base. Some of the more famous beef noodle places have very long wait times so get there early to avoid disappointment.

For the evenings head to the various night markets for food, beer and arcade style games! They are about $2 a try but they are super fun and the vendors are very friendly, you can try and negotiate for a better prize if you’re lucky!

There are lots of museums and galleries to check out during the hottest parts of the day, I really enjoyed the fine art museum and really enjoyed the variations of the temporary exhibits.
