Travel in Taipei – City Guide
Taipei is a city of vivid contrasts: Taipei 101 piercing the clouds, luxury-lined Zhongxiao East Road, and traffic threading a web of streets. Step into its lanes and alleyways and first impressions arrive fast. Cycle past HSNU like in Blue Gate Crossing, wander Guling Street and Juan Cun as in A Brighter Summer Day, or visit Bopiliao Old Street, echoing Monga. Modern edge meets traditional warmth; fashion pairs with nostalgia; speed and craft coexist, each distinct, yet in harmony.Taipei’s Two Sides by the Tamsui River
Taipei’s cityscape follows the Tamsui and Keelung rivers and is often framed as “new east, old west,” split by Fuxing South Road. Dongqu, home to Taipei 101 and Core Pacific City, signals fashion and modernity, while Xiqu feels more historic. Ximen Red House and Bopiliao in Wanhua deepen the cultural texture; the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Presidential Office Building in Zhongzheng recall earlier eras.
North of the city, Beitou Hot Spring and Yangmingshan’s Seven Star Park stand out; south, Maokong teahouses and Taipei Zoo invite slower days. Beyond the center, mountains and hills offer a rustic pause and a breath of countryside freshness. - Sort Order
