General presentation
Taipei
The silhouette of the tower marks the Xinyi district and offers a landmark in the capital's landscape. Also to be discovered: National Museum of the Palace and Temple Longshan and Memorial of Chiang Kai-shek and Yangmingshan National Park.
Taipei 101, National Palace Museum and Longshan Temple give the most telling landmarks of Taipei. Together, they form a destination where the big city, urban life and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: rains and typhoons can change accesses; check transports and trails before departure. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
