Review:
Taipei is the cultural, political, and economic hub of Taiwan in addition to being the largest city on the island. Visitors will come across a world that combines modern with the traditional, as old temples blend in with world-class gourmet restaurants and shopping centers. Attractions such as the Taipei Zoo, Flora Expo Park, and the Botanical Garden are popular places to visit while there. The Maokong Gondola offers a bird’s eye view of the beautiful city, which celebrates many festivals throughout the year. There are many centers and museums that allow visitors to better understand and appreciate the land’s history; some that shouldn’t be missed include the Taiwan Handicraft Museum, the Puppetry Art Center, the Discovery Center of Taipei, and the National Palace Museum.
