Near the hotel there is Shin-Kong building (46 stories) with an observatory at top. Nice view from there.

Taipei is a clean modern city with enough english signage to make it an interesting destination for westerners. It is easy to get around the city on the metro and bus system.

I took the NE coast tour to Chiufen Village and Two Colors Bay and the N. Coast tour to Keelung Harbor and Yehliu peninsula with Edison Travel. If you like coastal scenery, both are very worthwhile and nice, quick breaks from the city. Also, upon arrival at the airport go directly to the tourist information desk, in front of you as you exit immigration, and ask for the voucher for free entrance to the National Palace Museum.

Taiwanese are very friendly and helpful. National Palace Museum was great. Lots of lively activity at temples. Taroko Gorge worth the time, in part to get out of Taipei.

The 101 (highest building of the world) is almost already. Nobody can go inside. No lightning is showing this big bang. The shopping centers around the 101 are expensive. The staff in shops are most unfriendly. The most of the goods are only plastic. And the nightmarkets are boring.

Go to Chiufen which is a town situated on a mountain. The view is fantastic and the village life is beautiful and charming. Also, go to Yeliou which is along the northern coast. The rocks and ocean scenery is breathtaking.

Taipei is a great city except that it can be difficult to get around when you don't speak or write Mandarin. I would advise that travellers get the destinations written down in Chinese first so as not to waste time. For Moslem travellers, there are many choices of food palaces to choose from. Be prepared to do some reseach on where to dine for Moslem food before you visit.

Hotel shuttle to the MRT station was very convenient, running every 20 minutes. The MRT subway system is very easy to use, fast, and inexpensive. Taxis are also convenient and modest in price. We particularly enjoyed the National Palace Museum and the Lung Shan Temple, both in Taipei. Almost everyone spoke some English, and signs are all in English and Chinese, so communication was not difficult.

Watch out when you arrive in Shenzen via the railway station. There was three of us with luggage & we were just swarmed by people offering us taxis for 100RMB ( it was only 13 RMB when we eventually took a legit taxi) & people insisting on carrying our bags. They would just not take no for an answer. We could not find the taxi line so they harrassed us for about 20 minutes as we maneuvered around. We felt like rabbits being chased down by a pack of dogs. Really a traumatic experience but I am told that if we had reached into our pockets & offered them some money we would have been really swarmed by many others...
