Why Visit Taipei, Taiwan?
Just a 90-minute flight from Hong Kong, Taipei is the perfect short-haul escape for food lovers, culture seekers, and first-time visitors to Taiwan. This dynamic capital blends towering skyscrapers with centuries-old temples, steaming night-market alleys, and lush green mountains minutes from the city centre. With Bliss Travel's private custom tours, you can explore Taipei at your own pace — no rushing, no tour-bus crowds, just you and the city's best-kept secrets.
Top Attractions in Taipei
Taipei 101 & Xinyi District
Ride the super-fast elevator to the 89th-floor observatory of Taipei 101 for panoramic city views. Afterwards, stroll through the glitzy Xinyi District, home to luxury malls, the futuristic Songshan Cultural Park, and some of Taipei's best skyline photo spots.
Jiufen Old Street
Perched on a mountainside, Jiufen's lantern-lit alleyways and teahouses are said to have inspired Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away. Wander the narrow lanes, taste taro balls and Taiwanese sausages, and watch the sunset over the Pacific — a magical half-day trip from Taipei.
Shilin Night Market & Beitou Hot Springs
Taipei's night markets are legendary. At Shilin, the island's most famous, feast on oyster omelettes, giant fried chicken, and bubble tea. Then unwind in Beitou, where natural hot springs and the beautiful Beitou Public Library offer a relaxing end to the day.
Best Time to Visit
October to April is ideal — mild temperatures, low humidity, and fewer typhoons. December and January are cool but crisp; spring (March–April) brings cherry blossoms. Summer is hot and humid with occasional rain, though night markets still shine.
