31 days in Taipei Itinerary

Situated in a basin between two mountain ranges, Taipei appeals to tourists with its blend of Asian cultures, living side by side amidst Japanese-era mansions and Taoist temples.

You've now added Shilin Night Market to your itinerary. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Taipei: Ruifang (Xiahai Chenghuang Temple, Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street), &more), YOLO Taiwan (in Dayuan) and Danshuei (in Tamsui). Spend the 3rd (Fri) exploring nature at Yangmingshan National Park. Spend the 8th (Wed) exploring nature at Yang Ming Shan Qing Tian Gang. There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at National Palace Museum, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Taipei Zoo, make a trip to Elephant Mountain (aka Nangang District Hiking Trail), and stroll around YehLiu Geopark.
