Taiwan is often overlooked by tourists when traveling to Asia. Taipei, the island nation's capital, has a rich history and culture. It offers amazing scenery, food, temples, and nightlife.
This guide is recommended for those whose time in Taipei is limited. Here, I include my must-see places in the city.

Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
@adritravelstheworld
A must-see place to visit when in Taipei! The building and surrounding areas are jaw-dropping! The museum offers visitors with an insight into Taiwanese history. Did I mention that it's free?
P.S.: There is a guard change that happens every hour that I recommend seeing.

Xiangshan
@adritravelstheworld
Also known as Elephant, this is one of the most famous places where you can get an amazing view of the iconic Taipei 101 and the city. I recommend going here either in the morning or in the afternoon. There are so many stairs (it felt never-ending) so make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
Tip: If you keep walking past the scenic view point, you will find really nice trails that will take you to different parts of the mountain.

Songshan Ciyou Temple
@adritravelstheworld
If you only have time to see one temple while in Taipei, I recommend visiting this one! It is also right next to Rahoe night market!

Shi-men Ting
@adritravelstheworld
Ximending is one of Taipei's most famous district. Here you will find a lot of shops, restaurants, performers, and so much more. There is a really famous street called "Tattoo Street" where you will find a lot of tattoo and piercing shops. I got a tattoo and piercing here so definitely recommend!

Shilin Night Market
@adritravelstheworld
This was one of my favorite night markets in all of Taiwan! It is filled with lots of food vendors, shops, and fun games!
