Taipei Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
Treasure is held in Taipei's National Palace Museum, which contains the world's largest collection of Chinese artefacts. The city's most celebrated monument is the museum dedicated to the former Chinese president, the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall, which is the coolest place to be when the humidity gets too much.
Lungshan Temple, south west of the city centre, is the place to be in the early evening. Next door, to complete the picture of Taiwan's Chinese style, you can gawp at jars of pickled snakes and demonstrations with live pythons at the Huahsi Night Market, known locally as Snake Alley.
The towering bamboo-shaped Taipei 101 has cemented its position as one of the city's leading tourist attractions.
