The street markets of South East Asia, Japanese aesthetics and buildings that reminded me of my time in Hong Kong. It is a hub for all things culture, street eats, and history. It can be overwhelming to plan a trip to a capitol city, especially one like Taipei that offers so many amazing day trips throughout Taiwan. Hoping this guide will help for all your delicious food adventures, coastal journeys, or city cruising! Tips when visiting Taipei for the first time Airport info / There are two airports in Taipei – Songshan Airport and Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE).
