5 days in Taipei Itinerary

Situated in a basin between two mountain ranges, Taipei appeals to tourists with its blend of Asian cultures, living side by side amidst Japanese-era mansions and Taoist temples.

Escape the urban bustle at Neipi Beach and Yilan Lover's Bay. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Meihua Lake and Presidential Office Building. Change things up with these side-trips from Taipei: Jinguashi Gold Ecological Park (in Ruifang) and Fulung Beach (in Gongliao). Next up on the itinerary: browse the different shops at Taipei 101, take an in-depth tour of National Palace Museum, pause for some photo ops at Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, and steep yourself in history at 228 Peace Memorial Park.
