Start your journey with a visit to the top of the city’s most iconic building - the bamboo-inspired Taipei 101 - and get a panoramic view overlooking the entire city. Culture lovers will appreciate the National Palace Museum and the 700,000+ Chinese artefacts on display. Shilin Night Market in Zhongshan District is one of the largest night markets in Taipei, and is filled with all types of local delicacies, such as braised pork rice, beef noodles and Gua bao (pork belly buns).
