Itinerary

You’ll witness locals practicing centuries-old rituals and learn the fascinating stories behind the ornate architecture that has survived wars and natural disasters, standing today as a testament to Taipei’s resilient past.
Next, we transition to the magnificent Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. Marvel at the towering blue-tiled roof and the vast white marble structure that dominates Liberty Square.
As you stroll across the grounds, your guide will provide insights into Taiwan’s historical journey, and if timed correctly, you can witness the precision and discipline of the famous Change of Guards ceremony—a favorite moment for photography enthusiasts.
We then fast-forward to the pinnacle of modern Taipei. Feel like a true VIP as we skip the massive crowds with an exclusive Express Fast Pass to the Taipei 101 Observatory. In the world’s fastest pressurized elevators, you’ll be whisked to the top for a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view. From this soaring height, you can see the contrast between the sprawling urban basin and the lush green mountains that surround the city.
The adventure concludes with a world-class culinary celebration at Din Tai Fung. Savor the legendary Xiao Long Bao (steamed soup dumplings) and other signature dishes that have made this restaurant a global phenomenon.

About Taipei
Taipei is Taiwan's capital, a hill-ringed city of night markets, temples, hot springs, tea houses and the tall Taipei 101 tower.
Taipei sits in a basin ringed by green mountains, and Taipei 101, a 508-metre tower styled on bamboo segments, is its skyline marker. The National Palace Museum holds a vast collection of imperial Chinese art, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall stands at one end of a broad plaza, and Longshan Temple is a busy shrine of incense and carved dragons. Dihua Street preserves old shopfronts selling tea, herbs and dried goods.
Top-ranked sights in Taipei: Shifen Waterfall, Taipei 101, Yehliu Geopark.
