Taipei – The City
Taipei is the capital city of Taiwan, and is located about 120 miles from Mainland China and 360 miles northeast of Hong Kong. The country has a population of over 23 million people, including Chinese, Taiwanese as well as nine distinct aboriginal groups. Mandarin is the primary language spoken in Taipei. The city is situated in the northern part of the island with 2.6 million inhabitants. It serves as Taiwan’s financial, cultural and governmental center.

Taipei has much to offer with its hilltop retreats, historical treasures and high-rise skyscrapers. Taipei 101 is, one of the Seven New Wonders of the World and the second tallest building on the planet. The National Palace Museum is also one of the region's best museums and contains some of the most priceless relics in the world. Its extraordinary displays and ancient treasures are definitely worth a visit.

Local visitors can also shop for high-tech gadgets in lively computer markets or find low-tech items in the many night markets throughout the city.
