One of Taiwan’s most recognized landmarks is the iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper, completed in 2004 and the world’s tallest building until 2009. Not surprisingly, Taipei 101 resides in the business district of Taipei, surrounded by Taiwan’s most expensive and luxurious apartments and the highest concentration of shopping malls in the world. On first glance, you’d never believe that just 50 years ago, this area was entirely rice fields! In this experience, we will show you around Xinyi District, and share its vibe and history.
Visit very modern Taipei, and also get a peek at the past through a collection of old buildings still remaining, their distinct architecture reminiscent of simpler days gone by. Known as 44 South Village, this was Taipei’s very first military dependents village.
Your local host will help you understand Taiwan’s rapid development and history, and provide a live look around this urban village!
Visit Bangka, the oldest district of Taipei, red light district, and former home of the local mafia. Home also of Taipei’s Snake Alley.
