1 WEEK
Taipei & the North
Start with four days in
Taipei
being awestruck by the National Palace Museum collection,
sensory-overloaded at Longshan and Bao'an Temples, over-caffeinated at gourmet cafes,
as well as shopping and snacking at night markets and local design shops.
Activities abound. If you like tea, take the gondola to mountainous
Maokong
and its
traditional teahouses. For hot springs, historic
Beitou
is just an MRT ride away. For fun,
go on a stinky tofu tour along the restored old street of
Shenkeng
. To burn off calories,
rent a bike and ride along the river paths in Taipei or hike the trails in
Yangmingshan Na-
tional Park
or
Wulai
, a mountainous district with pristine jungles and natural swimming
pools.
