48 hours in Taipei

#Taipei Itinerary

This city, which combines ancient history with modern vitality, has both the ancient flavor hidden in the old streets and alleys and the trendy blocks flashing with neon lights. Today, I will take you on a two-day tour of Taipei. We will take you to the top of Elephant Mountain to overlook the beautiful city view, walk through the literary corners of the Red House in Ximen, listen to the leisurely Buddhist chants at Lungshan Temple, and finally rush to Tamsui to encounter the romantic afterglow of Fort San Domingo.
