Conquer the 4 Beasts to see Taipei 101

Ascend the iconic Taipei 101 building to admire the spectacular view of the city. Or better still, take a short hike up one of the 4 Beasts to appreciate one of the world’s tallest buildings in all its glory. The 4 Beast Mountains (said to resemble an elephant, a tiger, a leopard and a lion) have well-lit paths even at night so you can get stunning views of the city 24 hours a day.

Bustling night markets

Xiaochi - literally translated as small bites - is food steeped in flavour, culture and history. There is a wide range of dumplings, wontons and steamed buns to try at bustling night markets.  Head over to Raohe, the city’s oldest market at the heart of downtown for foodie options. Shilin is the largest market in Taipei and is popular with locals and tourists alike.
