About Taipei
Taipei is the capital of Taiwan and a major global city. Located in the north of the island, nestled in a basin between the Yangming and Central Mountains, Taipei serves as the financial, cultural, and political heart of Taiwan. The city is a vibrant blend of Chinese heritage infused with strong Japanese and American influences—distinct in character yet refreshingly unhurried by global urban standards.
