Despite Taipei being one of the smaller capitals in East Asia, the buzzing metropolis is a cultural melting pot in its own right. Taipei&rsquo;s urbane modernity juxtaposed with traditional Chinese traditions make the city&rsquo;s heritage highly unique, as you can see in its many temples, night markets, and even its cuisine. Discover the capital&rsquo;s fascinating sites in your own customized guided tour.

&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t have huge expectations for Taipei as it&rsquo;s just not as well known as other Asian capitals like Seoul and Bangkok. However, I ended up liking it as much if not more. Taipei is such a colourful and diverse city. In Taiwan, the modern and traditional meet perfectly. I could easily imagine living in Taipei and not running out of things to do.&rdquo; &mdash; <a href="https://www.wheregoesrose.com/" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Where Goes Rose, UK</a>
