Why Fly to Taipei, Taiwan?

Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) is served nonstop by China Airlines, EVA Air, and United from multiple US cities. From Taipei you can reach Jiufen (1h), Sun Moon Lake (2h), Taroko Gorge (3h by train/bus), and southern Taiwan’s Kenting beach resort (4h by HSR). Taiwan is one of Asia’s most affordable and safest destinations.

National Palace Museum
The National Palace Museum holds the world’s largest and finest collection of Chinese imperial art — 700,000 objects accumulated by China’s emperors over 1,000 years, including the famous Jadeite Cabbage and Meat-Shaped Stone, brought to Taiwan by the Nationalist government in 1949. One of the world’s ten greatest museums.
Night Markets — World’s Finest Street Food
Taipei’s night markets — Shilin (the largest, most famous), Raohe, Ningxia, and Tonghua — constitute arguably the world’s greatest concentration of street food: stinky tofu, oyster vermicelli, pork blood cake, scallion pancake, and grilled squid, all at prices under USD $2, served until 2am.
Jiufen — Spirited Away Village
Jiufen — a gold rush mountain village 1 hour from Taipei with red lantern teahouses, narrow stone staircases, and dramatic Pacific Ocean views — reportedly inspired Miyazaki’s Spirited Away (though the director has denied it). The village at dusk, when the lanterns glow in the mist, is extraordinarily atmospheric.
Taroko Gorge National Park
Taroko Gorge — 3 hours east of Taipei by train — is one of Asia’s most dramatic landscapes: a 20km marble canyon carved by the Liwu River through the Central Mountain Range, with turquoise water, suspension bridges, and tunnels carved through living rock along the cliff-face Taroko Highway.
Bubble Tea — Taiwan’s Greatest Invention
Bubble tea (boba) was invented in Taiwan in the 1980s — and Taipei’s boba culture is the world’s most sophisticated, from the original Chun Shui Tang’s taro milk tea to the Tiger Sugar brown sugar series, the Heytea jasmine options, and the 50-varieties-per-shop norm at every corner.
