Taipei (/ˌtaɪˈpeɪ/, literally means "North of Tai(wan)"), officially known as Taipei City (Chinese: 臺北市 or 台北市; pinyin: Táiběi Shì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-pak Chhī), is the capital city and a special municipality of Taiwan. Sitting at the northern tip of Taiwan, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City. It is about 25 km (16 mi) southwest of the northern port city Keelung. The city is mostly located on the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed bounded by the two relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.
The city proper is home to an estimated population of 2,693,672 in 2009, forming the core part of the Taipei–Keelung metropolitan area which includes the nearby cities of New Taipei and Keelung with a population of 6,900,273, the 40th most-populous urban area in the world. The name "Taipei" can refer either to the whole metropolitan area or the city proper.
Taipei is the political, economic, educational, and cultural center of Taiwan, and one of the major hubs of the Chinese-speaking world. Considered to be a global city, Taipei is part of a major high-tech industrial area.Railways, high-speed rail, highways, airports, and bus lines connect Taipei with all parts of the island. The city is served by two airports – Taipei Songshan and Taiwan Taoyuan. Taipei is home to various world-famous architectural or cultural landmarks which include Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, Hsing Tian Kong, Mengjia Longshan Temple, National Palace Museum, Presidential Office Building, Taipei Guest House, Ximending, and several night markets dispersing over the city. Its natural features such as Maokong, Yangmingshan, and hot springs are also well known to international visitors.

Taiwan (i/ˌtaɪˈwɑːn/; Chinese: 臺灣 or 台灣; see below), officially the Republic of China (ROC; Chinese: 中華民國; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínguó), is a sovereign state in East Asia. The Republic of China, originally based in mainland China, now governs the island of Taiwan, which constitutes more than 99% of its territory, as well as Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and other minor islands, following its loss of the mainland China territory in 1949 in the Chinese Civil War. This remaining area is also constitutionally called the "Free area of the Republic of China" which is not ruled by the Communist Party of China in Beijing.
Neighboring states include the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the west (mainland China), Japan to the east and northeast, and the Philippines to the south. Taiwan is one of the most densely populated countries in the world with a population density of 649 people per km2 in October 2015.Taipei is the seat of the central government, and together with the surrounding cities of New Taipei and Keelung forms the largest metropolitan area on the island.

The northern Taiwanese winter can get a bit gloomy. A few slow Sundays ago I went out on a funk-curing meander and wound up in this park. Yin balance restored. @Zhishan Garden, Taipei. Shot with a flipcam.

I have always loved travelling. I was lucky enough that from a young age, my parents took us all over the place, instilling in us a sense of larger spaces and broadened horizons. As I grew up, I became more independent in my travels and tried to figure out ways to do it more. From learning Spanish in Salamanca to purposefully getting 6 month summer jobs in places I wanted to explore further. I became accustomed to getting lost and just wondering the streets, figuring out where would be the next good meal or when I would stumble onto some secret only locals whispered about. Getting lost was second nature back then. The only resources we had were over-read guide books that by the time you reached their recommendations, the waiters would push their best sellers down your throats. So we h...

In recent decades, Taiwan has transformed itself into one of Asia's premier travel destinations. It's easy to fall in love with this city. The aroma of street food fills the air. Scooters and bicycles rule the streets. And surrounded by nature, tranquility is never more than a bus ride or hike away. Start your day at the Longshan Temple, the spiritual heart of Taipei. Taiwan's political heart is the district of Zhongshan, home to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, 228 Peace Park and the National Taiwan Museum. Hop on Taipei's excellent MRT and head to the National Palace Museum, home to the world's greatest collection of Chinese art and antiquities. Taipei's streets are a treasure trove too.

Destination Taiwan! Taiwan is a friendly, beautiful surprising island. My exploration of Taiwan by Parkour was one of the biggest experiences in my life. There are various ways to discover the beauty of Taiwan’s landscape, culture and people : Trekking in the magnificent cliffs at Taroko Gorges; taking a ride on the Alishan Forest Railway and experiencing the breathtaking sunrise and sea of clouds; cruising at Sun Moon Lake; taking MRT inTaiwan’s capital city Taipei, eating with locals in night markets... Only in Taiwan you can taste the best Chinese food (no exaggeration) influenced by Japanese and aboriginal cuisines and let yourself be tempted by very special Taiwanese snacks!

TRAVEL BACK IN TIME WITH US. There was a time in history, we saw the boys with quiff hair, girls with circle skirt on the street, and the colour television sat in our living room. We just loved tv shows, loved Elvis Presley singing those Rock N Roll songs. Women's best model for plastic surgery might be Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. (Oh no, plastic surgery wasn't invented yet) Our world had largely recovered from WorldWar II, however Space Race had just begun. We took a huge leap in science, technology, and also the popular culture. It was 1950s, we would like to call it the golden age. Super ADD and Jump From Paper both took the 1950s as inspiration. The installation art group Super ADD is going to create a site-specific installation art by using colour paper and some other unknow...
