Saturday Location: Taipei

Saturday Location: Taipei -

Taipei is the capital of Taiwan. It is located on the Danshui River, almost at the northern tip of the country, about 25 km southwest of Keelung, which is its port on the Pacific Ocean. Life Taipei was an interesting experience. I had a lot of fun and I think Taipei is a big city, although I would not live here again. Some cities that you click with, some do not. However, Taipei has a lot to do, and I would definitely go to visit.

Taipei overgrown valley Danshui. Thousands of years ago this was all covered in water, but now, with the empty valley, it makes an excellent place for a city. I found Taipei as very unwestern when compared to Bangkok. English is not so good, there are not so many foreigners living here spoken of the international cuisine is not as good or plentiful, and the city is much softer. All these are not bad things. In fact, although Taipei is a sprawling and crowded city, you feel like never really are in chaos, as if to do in Bangkok. I found the city have a lot of open and green areas and very clean. In most South East Asia, you get used controlled chaos. I've never felt in Taiwan and it was very refreshing

If you find yourself in Taipei and looking to do some things to check out these tourist and non-tourist activities to occupy your time.

visit Taipei 101

visit to Taipei 101 was by far the best thing I did all my time in Taipei or watched. I love Taipei 101, and it is by far the most impressive modern thing that I have ever seen. I saw her only once, but I wish I went more. Go see it a few times.

See Longshan Temple

The Longshan Temple was completed in 1738 during the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the most famous temples in the country and a major tourist site. There are three large halls to see and you can also see the near Snake Alley.

Visit Shinlin market

This is the largest night market in Taipei and is famous for its size and chaos. It get lively at 21.00 and is up about 5 pm will find many great things here, but the real reason for the amazing food stalls come to is that a variety of Taiwanese food is served.

Enjoy may be free beer at Roxy 99

This is a college bar, but you get four free beers on Wednesday night. If that is not something, drink go free in the Brass Monkey on Thursday night. It is a slightly older audience.

Check the rest of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall at night

An under rated range, at night you will find groups of people outside the room for yoga, used dance, and music. The park is very large and it is very quiet. Dim, I found the area near the pond of the most peaceful and relaxing. It's a great place for a late evening walk.

head to the hot springs at Danshui

Relax and warm hot springs just 30 minutes north of enjoy the city by train. The MRT will take you there. Taiwan is mostly volcanic, so it. With a lot of natural hot springs

Enjoy, your drink is blessed in the clubs Warner Village

Before this, I would never be at a place where there is everything you can drink, but one I can often she used the betting. This area is located near Taipei to 101.

to visit the Taipei Zoo

This is a major attraction and the lines are very long weekend, especially if you see the Giant Pandas. Go on a weekday.

Check the botanical garden of

You would think this would be a popular thing, but to do well on a beautiful Saturday, the gardens were empty. It was mostly families on walks with their children.

There are a lot in Taipei to do, and you can spend a week or two easy to fill out. If you are planning to stay longer, make sure that you walk on the surrounding mountains and visit the east coast
