Probably one of the most famous things to do in Taipei is go to the Taipei 101, which is the tallest and most iconic building in the city. On the first few floors of the Taipei 101 is a luxury mall, but the most popular attraction is the Taipei 101 Observatory, which is located on the 89th and 91st floors. The entrance price is a pretty steep cost of 500 Taiwan Dollars, but it’s a popular thing to do and I wanted to check it out during out trip. We arrived in the morning, right after they opened at about 9 am, bought our tickets, and went to the elevator to go to the top of the building. The elevator ride, which they claim is the fastest elevator in the world, was quite amazingly fast. It felt like it only took about 10 seconds but in reality it actually took about 40 seconds - but to get to the 89th floor, it was still incredibly fast. Once at the top, it was mostly just an observatory set up specifically for tourists, but still worth it for the amazing views of Taipei city and the surrounding mountains.
After going to the Taipei 101 Observatory, we came down, and there happens to be a branch of Din Tai Fung, the famous Taiwanese soup dumplings restaurant at the Taipei 101. Luckily we arrived quite early when the restaurant wasn’t too busy, so we happen to get seats easily for lunch. I made a separate full video about eating at Din Tai Fung, which I’ll post later.
After lunch, since were were still near the Taipei 101, we decided to go to Elephant Hill, a mountain near Taipei 101 where there are some hiking and nature trails. After figuring out which trail to take, we took a staircase trail, which was well marked out to Elephant Hill. The walk didn’t take more than about 20 minutes, and once we arrived at the Elephant Hill lookout point, we could see the entire skyline of Taipei, but a much different perspective of Taipei from the Taipei 101 Observatory. It was good to see and I enjoyed the outdoor atmosphere and the different perspective of the skyline from the mountain. I would highly recommend going to Elephant Hill when you’re in Taipei.
Next, we rushed off to the Taipei Zoo, one of the largest and most developed zoos in Asia. The price was only 60 TWD, and it was very nice to just spend some time walking around and enjoying both the animals and the impressively lush and tropical zoo grounds. I think the Taipei zoo is one of the great things to do if you have kids, or even you can go just to walk around and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. After the Taipei zoo, we wanted to go to the Maokong Gondola, but due to stormy weather, the Gondola closed, so we had to change our plans.
From the Taipei Zoo, we headed back to the Dongmen area and had a snack of a famous Taiwanese shaved ice, and then we had dinner at a local restaurant.
That was it for Day 4 in Taiwan - pretty cool to have a chance to visit the Taipei 101 Observatory.

Taipei Elephant Mountain hiking trail, Taipei 101 view and Night Market street food
Taipei, Taiwan.
A really nice walk to the top of Elephant Mountain.
Despite the clouds, amazing and breathtaking views (especially at night) of the Taipei 101 and of the other skyscrapers of the skyline.
After this trail, a quick visit to the Shilin Night Market where I could find and taste a lot of street food.

Taipei, Taiwan - 8+3 Awesome Things To See/Do
Need to book a hotel for Taipei or anywhere else? Using this link to book your hotel with Agoda will give you the same price great price and help us out with a small commission:
It's a vibrant city that is rich in culture, history, street food, and religion. Taipei, Taiwan-8+3 Awesome Things To See/Do showcases the best of what the city has to offer. It’s safe, super-friendly, convenient and probably undervalued compared to the super Asian city destinations of Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul. Ironically many residents of those cities choose Taipei as a destination, enjoying some of those qualities that their city once had or simply lacks.
Why the title 8+3 Awesome Sights To See/Do? Well most in Asia would be clued in to the significance of the number 8 and 3. In Chinese,(Mandarin), the word eight sounds similar to the word for prosper or wealth. It’s also similar sounding in Cantonese. The number 8 is an auspicious number.
The number three sounds similar to the character for birth and is also considered a lucky number. There are three stages to a person’s life-birth, marriage, and death.
So my wish is for prosperity and good luck for all those that visit Taipei, Taiwan and for the people of the city that have treated me with such great kindness and hospitality for the past 4 years. Would love to get your feedback on the video and ideas for future content. Also what other countries do you like to visit in Asia?
Thanks again with many blessings to you!

91 TAIWAN PT 4: 1.5 Days in Taipei
The last day and a half of my Taiwan trip with my dad. The entire trip was just BAM! BAM! BAM! with no end in sight. We hung out with family friends, ate lunch with my grand-aunt (not in video), ate dinner with my aunt… and then my dad ended up in a wheelchair.
Next time I come back to Taiwan, my plan is to walk around an area with no research done beforehand, and eat from one place to the next. Who’s with me?!

TAIPEI 101 , Din Tai Fung and Maokong Gondola [ vlog35 ] [ CARproductionkuno ]
2nd skyscraper to visit is the Taipei 101 in Taiwan which has 101 total floors and currently the 6th tallest building in the world. I got the chance to go up the observatory deck in the 89th and 91st floors and witness the beauty of Taipei City.
Not to mention my food escapade in Taiwan's famous restaurant, the DIN TAI FUNG.
I also had a side trip to the Maokong Gondola which stretches 4 stations from the Taipei Zoo station. A long tramway ride but indeed worth the effort for witnessing the place in a unique perspective.
Finally, riding a night bus tour to the City had pleased my eyes with the glitzy sparkling night lights of the main City to end up my day.
enjoy!

Taipei City in Taiwan: Discover Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
Florence and Julien from Travel Tura are pleased to present to you the main places where you should go during your travel in Taipei City.
Taipei is the capital of Taiwan’s island, located in the north of Taiwan. The climate in Taipei is tropical and subtropical, therefore, it is very humid. Thus, if you want to visit this city, the best time to go is October and November because the weather gives you a wonderful opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities.
In Taipei, you can go to the “National Palace Museum” which is a good start if you want to learn more about Taiwanese culture and history. Then, you can see “Taipei 101”, a must-see site in Taiwan. This building is composed of 101 floors, as its name already indicates. Tourists can go to the 89th to the 91st floor to get a 360-degree view of Taipei.
Finally, to finish your day you can go for a walk in one of the largest zoos in Asia, “Taipei Zoo”, or go to the “Shilin Night Market” where you can find souvenirs, foods, clothes, shoes or Taiwanese food.
