Have fun in capital city – Taipei! From exploring the bustling streets and tasting delicious food to visiting the iconic landmarks, there is no shortage of unforgettable experiences in Taipei. Once you’ve visited this city for the first time, you’ll want to come back for more.

This time, our support van took us to Dihua New Year Market to start the ride. This street is part of the historic Dadaocheng area, walk through the Dihua Street Area gives visitors a feel of Taipei City’s past. The old-town market has scores of shops selling a variety of traditional goods and New Year’s supplies.

The riders took turns riding bicycles to Longshan Temple, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, and stopped at Taipei 101 for a delicious lunch. In the afternoon, they continued to the famous National Palace Museum.

Din Tai Fung – This world-renowned Taiwanese restaurant chain is celebrated for its delicious dumplings and other traditional Taiwanese dishes. Besides the amazing food, visiting the multivariate cultures is simply one of the best things to do in Taipei.
