Taipei is the epitome of Asian success. It has everything vacationers are after, from charming colonial districts and historic temples to magnificent green spaces and a hip, cosmopolitan edge. Taipei – Chiang Kai Shek International Airport is a major Asian gateway, serving a range of hotels near Taipei.
Taipei manages to capitalize both on its detachment from and its connection to mainland China. It began as a trading port, later headquartered the Qing Dynasty and finally became an oasis of exiled Nationalist Party members who arrived during the communist uprising. Tourists divide their time between marvelous attractions like the National Palace Museum, part of a collection that originated in Beijing, and soaring sites like Taipei 101, which was until recently the tallest building in the world. In between are a wealth of temples, memorials and traditional markets all worth exploring. Datong district's Japanese architecture and street markets make it a great place for visitors, as well.
