I visited Taipei to see my old friend after 21 years, so did not visit so many places this time, but Mt. Youmei was a nice area to hike where you can take a deep breath to refresh. I did not know there was such a calm and clean area in Taipei. I'd recommend to take a walk in the park, and you can enjoy the birds talking, small animals and fresh greenery.

Chang Kai Shek Terminal 1 is very run down and were comparable to some of the more unpleasant airports I've gone through. It is also considered not as safe as it could be by many pilots (q.v. Google newsgroup search). United Airlines fly out of the more modern (1989) Terminal 2.
However, despite the run down external appearance, processing was very efficient -we had our luggage and were on our way less than 15 minutes after leaving the plane.

Taipei was great! Going up to Tamshui is definitely worth it even if you have little time. Take the boat to the huge bridge thing. Such a nice break from the crazy city stuff and things. On the way back to the city, check out the Kuandu temple. When you get to Kuandu station, ask which bus takes you there, the walk is a ways so I was told. The CSK memorial hall is also really beautiful. Visit chickennugget.org/adventure. Just click on taiwan for my full story.

First time in Taiwan for me. I enjoyed it a lot. Taiwan is a very diversified and beautiful country. People are friendly, taking proactive contact and generally helpful. Subways and trains are excellent standard, cheap and numerous.
Only regret I have is that I spent most of my time in Taipei. Should have had more time to literally make a round tour. That will have to be for next time...

Taipei is best visited with a Chinese-speaking friend or guide. There is not a great deal to see, but the food in Taipei is far superior to what is in China. The street life and Toroko Gorge ( outside the city) are two things not to miss.

I got around by taxi and the subway, the subway is inexpensive and easy to use, all signs are bilingual and folks are friendly. I didn't do any tourism on this trip, but I always like to visit the Palace Museum which is one of the few nice spots in this otherwise somewhat drab and dirty city.
