Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, is literally an urban jungle. Hiking trails abound on all sides of its tech hub and glittering metropolis.
Young artists, chefs and curators are redefining and embracing Thai identity as their only distinguished category, with a conscious search for food and design endemic to the island's history. The passage of fine Taiwanese food is shaped by classically trained chefs who embrace the subtropical abundance of the island. The city is safe to tour at any time, but take advantage of sleeping in.
