Tajpej - Taipei

Tajpej je ogromno mesto z več okrožje članki, ki vsebujejo informacije o določenih znamenitostih, restavracijah in nastanitvah.

Skyline Tajpeja

Tajpej (台北 ali 臺北; Taj-pak v tajvanskem, Táiběi v mandarinščini) je glavno mesto Republike Kitajske, sicer znano kot Tajvan. Taipei, ki leži na severnem delu otoka v kotlini med gorami Yangming in osrednjimi gorami, je finančno, kulturno in vladno središče otoka. Mesto je privlačna mešanica kitajskih, japonskih in zahodnih vplivov, ki je samo po sebi živahno, a po svetovnih merilih še ne mudi. Poleg arhitekturnih in kulturnih znamenitosti, kot sta Taipei 101 in tempelj Longshan, je xiaochi (majhni prigrizki) na živahnih nočnih trgih so izkušnja, ki je želodec ne pozabi. Prestolnica je tudi odlična izhodiščna točka za enodnevne izlete v vroče vrelce, stara rudarska mesta in narodne parke v okolici Severni Tajvan območje.

Okrožja

Tajpej je hitro rastoče mesto, a kljub pritiskom na kopno park nikoli ni daleč, še posebej na primestnih območjih. Območje središča mesta je kulturno razdeljeno na vzhod in zahod. Zahodna stran s svojimi ozkimi ulicami in prodajalci ob cesti velja za bastion starega tajpejskega življenja, medtem ko vzhodni Tajpej s svojimi živahnimi supermalami, elegantnimi butiki, elegantnimi restavracijami in elegantnimi kavarnami spominja na tiste, Tokio, Seul, Pariz ali New York City predstavlja njegovo metamorfozo.

Metropolitansko območje Velikega Tajpeja zunaj meja mesta Tajpej vključuje okolico Novi Tajpej Mesto (新 北市) in Keelung (基隆市), ki predstavlja največjo urbano skupino na Tajvanu s skoraj 7 milijoni ljudi, čeprav jo vodijo trije različni vladni organi.

Večer v Tajpeju z gore Elephant v letu 2017.

Leta 1884 se je tajvanski guverner dinastije Qing Liu Mingchuan odločil preseliti prefekturno prestolnico v Tajpej. Z izgradnjo vladnih pisarn in dotokom javnih uslužbencev so se Taipeijevi dnevi kot zaspanega tržnega mesta končali. Ko je Tajvan leta 1887 dobil status province, je Tajpej ostal glavno mesto province. Ker je Taipei na severu Tajvana (najbližje območje Japonske), je mesto še naprej uspevalo, ko je bil Tajvan leta 1895 odstopljen Japonski. Ker pa je bila Japonska v obdobju "moderniziraj, pridi, kar lahko" , je bilo malo pozornosti namenjene tradicionalni arhitekturi v kitajskem slogu Tajpeja, številne stare stavbe, vključno z mestnim obzidjem, pa so bile porušene. Kljub temu še vedno obstajajo številne strukture dinastije Qing, vključno s starimi Severnimi vrati, nekdanjo dvorano provincialne uprave in več templji. Poleg tega je bilo v mestu pod japonsko oblastjo zgrajenih več značilnih stavb - med njimi predsedniška palača in nacionalna tajvanska univerza.

Mestna arhitektura je znova doživela velik napad, ko je vlada KMT prispela s celinske Kitajske leta 1945. Da bi se spopadli z dotokom milijonov celinskih beguncev, so povsod po mestu nastala začasna stanovanjska naselja. Kasneje so jih nadomestile betonske stanovanjske zgradbe iz sloga sovjetske dobe (ali "brez stila"), ki so desetletja zaznamovale pokrajino Tajpeja. Mnoge od teh stavb še vedno preživijo, toda ko je tajvansko gospodarstvo vzletelo in ljudje postali bolj bogati, se je od osemdesetih let začelo pojavljati svetlejše in drznejše mesto. Ustanovljeni so bili novi okrožja, postavljeni drevoredi, postavljeni visokokakovostni stanovanjski bloki in odprte so bile elegantne in elegantne kavarne in restavracije.

Današnji Tajpej je ocenjen kot eno najbogatejših in najbolj inovativnih mest na svetu, zanj pa so značilni prijazni ljudje in varne ulice. Čeprav navadno ni visoko na seznamu turističnih destinacij, je v resnici fascinanten kraj za obisk in življenje, lokalna kuhinja Tajpeja pa si je zasluženo prislužila mesto med najboljšimi v Aziji. Poleg tega Tajpej kljub svoji velikosti nima grobih površin, ki bi se štela za nevarna, tudi ponoči - kar je samo po sebi privlačno.

Podnebje

Tajpej ima poltropsko podnebje, za katerega je značilno vroče in vlažno vreme. Najbolj udobno sezono za obisk je jesen, ko je količina padavin najnižja in so temperature v povprečju prijetnih srednjih 20 ° C. Februar do april so še posebej vlažni z malo sončne svetlobe, medtem ko so poletja lahko zelo vroča, a pogosto obdana z močnimi nevihtami. Tajpej je nagnjen k tajfunom od maja do oktobra, čeprav je največ koncentracij avgusta in septembra. Zime so lahko precej hladne, temperature ponoči občasno padejo pod 10 ° C, čeprav sneženje še nikoli ni znano, razen v zelo redkih primerih na višjih legah v narodnem parku Yangmingshan.

Govori

Tajpej je mesto ljudi z različnim poreklom, večino kitajskega prebivalstva lahko razdelimo med tiste, katerih družine so prispele na Tajvan med 17. in 19. stoletjem, in tiste, ki so prišli k vladi ROC po kitajski državljanski vojni v 40. letih 20. stoletja. in petdesetih let 20. stoletja. Medtem Mandarina ali je lingua francain ga govori in razume večina ljudi, mlajših od 60 let, pogosto slišimo tudi druge kitajske jezike. Med prejšnjimi priseljenskimi skupinami, medtem ko so govorci iz Tajvanski predstavlja večina, je tudi veliko število Hakka-govorniki, ki živijo v Tajpeju.

angleščina je obvezen v vseh tajvanskih šolah in večina ljudi, mlajših od 40 let, bo vsaj osnovno znanje angleščine, čeprav je malo ljudi tekočih. Če se naučite nekaj mandarinščine in / ali tajvanščine, bo vaše potovanje veliko bolj gladko.

Avtobus zahodne linije se konča na glavni železniški postaji Tajpej in se ustavi tudi na postaji Yuanshan MRT na progi Xindian. (Avtobusi družbe Airbus na zahodni progi vijugajo skozi lokalna mesta, preden se priključijo na avtocesto in zato trajajo veliko dlje kot modri in beli avtobusi Guoguang, ki neposredno vstopijo na avtocesto.) Avtobusi, ki vozijo po vzhodni poti, se končajo v hotelu Grand Hyatt Taipei in postanek na postaji MRT Zhongxiao-Fuxing na progah Nangang in Muzha. Do domačega letališča Songshan vozi tudi avtobus.

Mednarodno letališče Novotel Taoyuan, poleg stavbe sedeža China Airlines, je le nekaj minut stran od obeh terminalov in ima čudovit pogled na letališke steze. V bližini je tudi Hotel CitySuites Gateway, 10 minut od hitre železniške postaje Cing-pu in tri minute od mednarodnega letališča Taoyuan.

Z vlakom

Železniška postaja Taipei

Vsi medmestni vlaki, ki jih vozi Tajvanska železniška uprava (台 鐵) in Tajvanska hitra železnica (台灣 高 鐵), prispejo in odhajajo iz 25.0478121.51715 Železniška postaja Taipei na zahodni cesti Zhongxiao, 1. odsek - nasproti 53-nadstropne stavbe Shinkong Mitsukoshi (新光 三越). Glavna postaja Taipei je ogromen objekt. Števci vozovnic so v prvem nadstropju, ploščadi pa na B2. V drugem nadstropju je tudi živilsko igrišče, več podzemnih nakupovalnih središč in je neposredno povezano z glavno postajo Taipei na podzemni železnici Taipei, ki jo vozijo proge Tamsui (rdeča) in Bannan (modra). V prvem nadstropju so poleg okenc za vstopnice še turistična pisarna, pošta, trgovine z avtohtonimi obrtmi in več kabin, ki ponujajo masažo glave in vratu ter celotnega telesa (100 NT za vsakih deset minut).

V mestu Taipei so tudi tri druge železniške postaje. Postaja Wanhua (萬 華 車站) je v jugozahodnem delu mesta, do postaje tempelj MRT Longshan Temple je hoja, do nje pa vozijo le lokalni vlaki. Postaja Songshan (松山 車站) je blizu nočne tržnice Raohe Street in na njej se ustavijo vsi vlaki, ki jih upravlja tajvanska železniška uprava. Postaja Nangang (南港 車站) je na vzhodnem koncu mesta, do nje vozijo lokalni vlaki in nekateri hitri vlaki. Neposredno je povezan s postajo Nangang na progi Bannan (Blue) podzemne železnice Taipei, Tajvanska železniška železniška postaja pa naj bi postajo obratovala do začetka leta 2015.

Vladni avtobusi so modro-beli in se imenujejo guóguāng hào (國 光 號). Vsi medkrajevni avtobusi so znani kot kèyùn (客運) in ga je mogoče ločiti od lokalnih mestnih avtobusov gōngchē (公車) z dejstvom, da nimajo številke poti, temveč samo ime cilja.

Cene vozovnic za državljane Tajvana / ROC so cenejše (vnaprej / pomol).

Obiti

Z metrojem

Taipei MRT

Mesto Taipei ima zelo čisto, učinkovito in varno Sistem za hitri tranzit^{[mrtva povezava]} znan najpogosteje kot MRT, ampak tudi poklican Metro Tajpej (台北 捷運). Cene vozovnic so med 20 in 65 NT za enosmerne izlete po mestu. Veliko ga hvalijo kot enega najzanesljivejših in najučinkovitejših sistemov na svetu in ga pogosto navajajo kot zlati standard, h kateremu bi si morali prizadevati sistemi Metro po vsem svetu. Postaje so jasno označene v angleščini in kitajščini. Vsa postajališča so objavljena v štirih jezikih: mandarinščini, tajvanščini, haki in angleščini. Vse postaje imajo informacijske kabine / blagajne blizu prodajnih avtomatov. Na postajah ali v vlakih ne jedo in ne pijejo. Obstajajo prednostni sedeži. Če potrebujete sedež, so na informativni kabini na voljo nalepke, ki potnikom omogočajo, da prepoznajo tiste, ki jih potrebujejo. Vlaki običajno vozijo od 06:00 do 00:00, s priročnimi avtobusnimi povezavami izven postaj.

Ženske in / ali otroci, ki potujejo ponoči, lahko koristijo Varne cone - odseki peronov, ki so pod močnim nadzorom - na nekaterih progah podzemne železnice. Postaje in vlaki (vključno z enotirno železnico) so primerni za invalidske vozičke, toda kadar je več postaj z ene postaje, je običajno le ena od njih opremljena z dvigalom. Vsi vlaki imajo prednostni sedeži (博愛 座 bó ài zuò) ki imajo temno modro barvo, ki se razlikuje od barve ostalih sedežev; ti so namenjeni starejšim, invalidom, nosečnicam in ženskam, ki nosijo majhne otroke, zato ne sedite v njih, razen če ena od teh situacij velja za vas.

Postaja MRT v Tajpeju

Poleg vozovnic za eno potovanje lahko uporabite tudi EasyCard ali youyouka (kot pri "jo-jo-ka", tudi 悠遊 卡). Te kartice je treba samo "dotakniti" (senzor) mimo pregradnega zaslona, ​​da pridete do vstopa in izstopa s plačljivih površin. Velika prednost uporabe kartice EasyCard je, da vam daje 20% popust na vse vožnje MRT, in če se v roku ene ure iz MRT prestavite na navaden mestni avtobus ali obratno, vožnja z avtobusom znaša le 7 NT $. Popust se samodejno izračuna, ko zapustite postajo MRT. Prav tako je mogoče kupiti dnevne kartice samo za sistem podzemne železnice za NT $ 200 (polog v višini 50 NT $), za NT $ 180 pa lahko kupite kartico, ki deluje tako v metroju kot v avtobusih. Prelaz Taipei stane 250 NT (brez pologa) in pokriva potovanje z metrojem in gondolo Maokong za en dan, kar je poceni in priročno, če se odpravite na vsaj šest potovanj.

Pogosto jih izda tranzitna uprava z omejenimi izdajami, ki prikazujejo umetniška dela, znane like, pokrajine itd. Te so zelo zbirateljske in so odlični spominki za vaše potovanje. Žetoni za eno pot se reciklirajo, ko zapustite postaje, zato, če želite obdržati določeno, kupite dodatno.

Če prihajate iz južnega Tajvana, KaohsiungiPass lahko uporabljate zamenljivo s kartico EasyCard v Tajpeju.

Ko uporabljate tekoče stopnice, se prepričajte stojte na desni tako da vas lahko ljudje, ki se jim mudi, peljejo mimo leve.

Z avtobusom

Mestni avtobus Taipei

Mesto Taipei ima zelo učinkovit avtobusni prevoz^{[mrtva povezava]}, in ker so na vseh avtobusih informacije (cilj in imena postajališč) prikazane v angleščini, je sistem zelo dostopen obiskovalcem, ki ne govorijo Kitajske. Plačilo lahko na gotovino (15 NT $) ali EasyCard (glej Tajvan # Pojdi okoli) za vsak odsek, skozi katerega vodi avtobus. Za lokalne avtobuse (vsi lokalni avtobusi imajo številko, tudi avtobusi na dolge razdalje) bosta največ dva odseka s skupnimi stroški 45 NT $. Zmeda pa nastane, ker ne vemo, kje so meje odsekov, in dejstvo, da pogosto obstaja varovalni pas, ki ljudem, ki pridejo na en postanek pred mejo, preprečuje preplačilo. Poleg tega, če v eni uri iz MRT prestopite na avtobus, je pri uporabi kartice EasyCard cena vozovnice znižana in obratno, glejte # Z metrojem.

Od 1. julija 2019 morajo kolesarji, ki plačujejo z gotovino, vedno plačati ob vstopu v avtobus, kolesarji, ki plačujejo z EasyCardom, pa se morajo dotakniti obojevključeno in izključeno pri vstopu / izstopu iz avtobusa. Pred to spremembo je obstajal nekoliko zmeden sistem, pri katerem so kolesarji včasih plačevali ob vstopu v avtobus, drugič pa ob izstopu iz avtobusa. Sistem EasyCard samodejno izračuna število prevoženih con in to odšteje od stanja kartice. Od 1. februarja 2020 kartice ne boste zaklenili, če ob izstopu iz avtobusa ne tapnete kartice EasyCard; ne boste pa prejeli popustov za MRT, avtobus ali YouBike.

S taksijem

Taksiji v Tajpeju so običajno rumene barve zaradi lažjega prepoznavanja na cesti.

Taksiji so najbolj prilagodljiv način za prevoz in so izjemno številni. V primerjavi z množičnim tranzitom so drage, v primerjavi s taksiji v tujini pa poceni. Taksiji so merjeni, števec se začne pri 70 NT (ponoči se doda dodatnih 20 NT). Večina taksistov ne zna govoriti angleško, svoje pa morajo imeti tudi tisti, ki ne govorijo kitajsko destinacija zapisana v kitajščini. Prekuhavanje ni niti potrebno niti pričakovano.

Od leta 2012 morajo vsi potniki pripeti varnostni pas. Ženskam in / ali otrokom, ki potujejo ponoči, priporočamo uporabo enega od uglednih taksi prevoznikov. Brezplačna taksi linija je 0800-055850 (vzdržuje ga Ministrstvo za promet).

Tajvanski taksisti so ponavadi bolj pošteni kot v mnogih drugih državah. Znani so po svojih močnih mnenjih o politiki. Velika večina jih podpira neodvisnost Tajvana, saj ves dan poslušajo radijski pogovor. Verjetno vam tega ne bodo mogli deliti, če ne govorite kitajsko. Izogibajte se morebitni politični razpravi.

Osamljenim ženskam ponoči ni priporočljivo, da naključno vozijo s ulice - najbolje je, da imajo številko enega večjih taksistov in pokličejo taksi.

S kolesom

Nekateri pločniki (ameriška angleščina: pločniki) na Tajvanu imajo ta znak, da dovoljujejo kolesarjenje.

Čeprav je v Tajpeju zelo močan promet, so kolesa še vedno zakonita vozila za prevoz. Ob večini rek v mestu so dolge kolesarske steze. Kolesa lahko prevažate tudi v podzemni železnici Taipei, vendar le ob sobotah, nedeljah in državnih praznikih ter prek določenih postaj - kolesa niso dovoljena na večjih postajah, kot sta glavna postaja Taipei in Zhongxiao Fuxing, kolesa pa so dovoljena samo v prvem in zadnji vagoni. Pravilno zapakirana zložena kolesa so izvzeta iz omejitev običajnih koles. Ločenih kolesarskih stez ni veliko, vendar je na nekaterih prometnih ulicah dovoljeno kolesarjenje po pločniku (v angleščini: pločnik), kjer je podpisano ali označeno, kot na Japonskem.

Taipei ima odličen sistem za skupno rabo koles - YouBike. Zelo poceni je, če se registrirate prek njihovega spletnega mesta ali prek velikega zaslona na dotik na večjih parkirnih postajah, vendar potrebujete lokalno mobilno številko, da ji pošljete 4-številčno kodo, da dokaže svojo. Prvih pol ure je NT $ 5, kar je dovolj za večino vsake vožnje, ki jo potrebujete, nato pa dodatnih pol ure zaračunate 10 NT $. Uporabljaš EasyCard ali iPass (enako kot za podzemno železnico in avtobuse), da jih najamete. Vse je zelo enostavno, kolesa pa so moderna in priročna. Preden začnete uporabljati vsako kolo, preverite morebitne napake; kolesarski sedeži so obrnjeni nazaj, kar pomeni, da je potrebno vzdrževanje. 15 minut po parkiranju z iste parkirne postaje ne morete vzeti drugega kolesa. Zelo uporabna aplikacija za pametni telefon, imenovana bikefriend, prikazuje, kje se nahaja vsaka kolesarska postaja Youbike in koliko koles ali parkirnih mest je na voljo.

Z avtom

Najem avtomobila ni samo nepotreben, ampak v Tajpeju ni priporočljiv, razen če nameravate oditi iz mesta. Promet je ponavadi nenavaden, parkirišča pa so draga in jih je težko najti. Večina glavnih turističnih destinacij je dostopna z javnim prevozom in to bi morali uporabiti kot svoj glavni način potovanja.

Naslovni sistem

Naslovni sistem v Tajpeju je zelo logičen in uporabniku prijazen. Središče mesta je vogal vzhodno-zahodne črte Zhongxiao (忠孝) in severa-juga, ki tečeta na Zhongshan (中山) Rds, medtem ko je del severa-juga narejen na Zhongxiao tukaj, bolj vzhodno je narejen namesto na Bade (八德) Rd, nekaj, kar zmede celo ljudi, ki že leta živijo v Tajpeju. Vse glavne ceste so opredeljene po njihovi smeri glede na te ceste. Na primer, vsi odseki severno od juga, ki vodijo Fuxing (復興) Rd severno od Bade, se imenujejo Fuxing North Rd (復興 北路). Podobno se tisti odseki na jugu imenujejo Fuxing South Rd (復興 南路). Tisti, ki prečkajo cesto Zhongshan, so podobno opredeljeni kot vzhod ali zahod. Številke odsekov (段; duàn) se začnejo pri "ena" v bližini obeh definiranih cest in se povečujejo v križiščih glavnih avtocest. Na primer, Ren'ai (仁愛) Rd (ki ima le vzhodno lokacijo in zato nima pripone smeri), bo oddelek 1 blizu Zhongshan South Rd. Število odsekov se bo povečalo, ko se bo človek oddaljil od ulice Zhongshan Rd. Na primer, ko Ren'ai Rd doseže Dunhua South Rd (敦化 南路) daleč na vzhodu mesta, bi lahko bil tipičen naslov: 7F, 166 Ren'ai Rd, oddelek 4. Številke hiš in pasov se začnejo ob nič vsak odsek. Vozni pasovi (巷; xiàng) vodijo po cestah (路; lù) in ulicah (街; jiē), medtem ko se ulice (弄; nòng) odcepijo od pasov.

Glej

Tisti, ki si vzamejo čas za obisk in ogledovanje okoli, bodo kmalu ugotovili, da je Taipei prav tako živahen kot katero koli drugo večje mesto in je poln nekega šarma, zaradi katerega je sam po sebi edinstven. Preživite dan, ko se sprehajate po ulicah Tajpeja, in začeli boste iskati številna presenečenja.

Mejniki

Spominska dvorana Chiang Kai-shek

Več spominskih dvoran, kot je Spominska dvorana Chiang Kai-shek v Okrožje Zhongzheng in Spominska dvorana Sun Yat-sen v Xinyi spomin na najbolj priznane voditelje nacionalistov za manj znane vojne mrtve v ZDA Svetišče mučenikov v Okrožje Zhongshan. Vsi trije imajo častne straže, ki se menjajo ob določenih urah in dokazujejo vojaško natančnost in slovesno spoštovanje voditeljev ROC in vojakov pred njimi. Spominske dvorane, zgrajene sredi velikih parkov, so tudi dobra mesta za miren razmislek.

Tempelj Longshan

Medtem ko je Taipei večinoma posvetni, so dodelani taoistični in budistični templji, kot so Tempelj Longshan in Tempelj Bao'an v starejših okrožjih Wanhua in Datong še vedno privlačijo domačine, ki ohranjajo stare obrede in tradicije. Na bleščeča stran mesta, Taipei 101 se je morda odrekel svojemu najvišjemu statusu stavbe, vendar ostaja zelo priljubljena atrakcija zaradi svojega arhitekturnega sloga in krova opazovalnice. Na silvestrovo postane Taipei 101 svetilnik luči in ognjemeta.

Muzeji in galerije

Vsak, ki se sploh najmanj zanima za kitajsko zgodovino, naj obišče Muzej Narodne palače v Shilin, ki hrani edinstveno najboljšo zbirko zgodovinskih artefaktov s Kitajske, ki jo strokovno kustrira osebje. Dovolj je velik, da je naenkrat prikazan le en odstotek lastništva, med katerimi so predvsem starodavne slike, zvitki, knjige in keramika, ki trajajo več kot 5000 let. The Državni zgodovinski muzej v Zhongzheng hrani tudi dragocene relikvije. Na žalost je Nacionalni zgodovinski muzej zaprt zaradi prenove do leta 2021. Obstajajo tudi drugi čudni zasebni muzeji, kot sta Muzej miniatur (odrasli 200 USD) in Muzej pitne vode za bolj raziskovanje.

Umetnost v klasičnih in sodobnih oblikah je mogoče ceniti tudi v Muzej likovne umetnosti v Tajpeju in Tajpej MOCA. Lokalni umetniki so se zbrali v različnih umetniških vaseh, da bi našli navdih in kulturna središča Kulturni center Huashan so zanimivi neformalni prostori za ustvarjalno iskrico. Tajvanski avtorji sanjajo, da bi postali naslednji Ang Lee, ki bi svoje neodvisne filme prikazovali v filmski hiši Spot-Taipei. Vse to najdete v Zhongshan.

Parki in na prostem

228 Park miru

Če mestna krajina postane nekoliko turobna, lahko pobegnete s številnimi parki. Daan Park je eno največjih v mestu, ki je zaslužilo ime Centralni park Taipei. 228 Park miru v Zhongzheng je bil imenovan v spomin na krvavo 228 incident z dne 28. februarja 1947 in ima tudi Državni tajvanski muzej in 228 spominski muzej. Nekaj ​​zelenih površin najdemo tudi ob bregovih reke Keelung, kot npr Okrožje Zhongshanje park Dajie Riverside.

Obiščite Tajpejski živalski vrt v Wenshan videti velikanske pande, rjave medvede in gorile za nizko, nizko ceno. To je bolj podobno sprehodu po listnatem parku, kjer se živali prosto sprehajajo v svojih odprtih ograjenih prostorih. Kombinirajte z vožnjo po cesti Gondola Maokong, ki ima nekaj posebnih kočij s steklenimi tlemi, za nadaljnje sprostitev v čajnicah na hribu.

Mestna vrata

Taipei North Gate

Čeprav je v Tajpeju ostalo zelo malo starodavne arhitekture, še vedno stojijo štiri od petih prvotnih mestnih vrat v Tajpeju. Mestno obzidje, ki je obkrožalo staro mesto in Zahodna vrata, so Japonci porušili, da so omogočili pot cestam in železniškim progam. Od štirih vrat, ki še vedno stojijo, jih je Kuomintang prenovil, da bi "siniciziral" Taipei in jih preoblikoval iz prvotnega Južni Fujian slogovna arhitektura do severnokitajske arhitekture palač, pri čemer je ostala le Severna vrata (beimen 北 門 ali bolj formalno Moški iz Cheng'ena 承恩門) in its original Qing Dynasty splendor today. Long obstructed by a busy elevated freeway, the freeway was decommissioned and removed in 2016, and a park has been built around the gate.

Wulai Hot Springs

Hot springs (溫泉) come in various brands in Taipei, ranging from basic natural pools, to plush spas at five star hotels. The three main places to have a soak in the Greater Taipei area are: Beitou (北投), Wulai (烏來) and Narodni park Yangmingshan (陽明山). The basic free 'rub and scrub' type public baths are run by the city. Most hotels offer the option of a large sex-segregated bathing area that generally consists of several large baths of various temperatures, jacuzzi, sauna and steam bath and also private and family rooms. Some hotels also have outdoor baths (露天溫泉), which offer restful views over the surrounding countryside. Prices range from around NT$300 to NT$800.

The law in Taiwan states that for safety reasons, individuals are not allowed to bathe in the private rooms, and there must be at least two people. Etiquette requires that bathers thoroughly wash and rinse off their bodies before entering public baths, do not wear clothing (which includes swimwear, though this is not the case for mixed-sex public areas) and tie up their hair so that it does not touch the water. Ljudje z visokim krvnim tlakom, srčnimi boleznimi ali odprtimi ranami ne smejo vstopiti v kopeli.

Pohodništvo

Qixingshan in Yangmingshan National Park

The mountains around Taipei make hiking is a popular exercise in the city. The main hiking spot closest to the city is the Four Beasts Mountain which border Xinyi in Nangang. One of the most rewarding walks is on Elephant Mountain, where steep steps lead up to several different viewpoints that give a striking contrast between Taipei 101 and its neighboring low-rise buildings, especially against the orange hues of sunset. Continuing on separate trails will head towards the remaining 'beasts' of Leopard, Lion and Tiger, and Nangang mountain and Jiuwufeng beyond them.

• Narodni park Yangmingshan (陽明山國家公園) (just north of Beitou). A favourite destination, particularly during spring when thousands of calla lilies, peonies and cherry blossoms bloom in the valleys. Besides that public hot springs, as well as hot sulphur blow holes and sources are equally worth the visit. There are dozens of hiking trails in the park, most marked out on maps from the visitors centre. Qixingshan is the highest peak in Yangmingshan, and looks out over the Taipei Basin and the north coast. 

Zabaviščni parki

Taipei Water Park Entrance

There are a few amusement parks around Taipei. One is the Otroški rekreacijski center v Shilin, great for younger kids. The Taipei Water Park near Museum of Drinking Water in Gongguan is also a good place to spend time during summer, with its water slides and swimming areas.

Festivali in prireditve

Taipei hosts numerous festivals throughout the year, but as many follow the lunar calendar the dates according to the Gregorian calendar are inconsistent. Check the Taiwan Tourist Bureau's events section before planning to attend an event.

Lantern Festival in CKS Memorial Hall

• The Lantern Festival is a dazzling display of lanterns and lasers which runs for several days around the fifteenth day of the lunar new year. While the main city event is held at the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall and Taipei City Hall grounds, Renai Road perhaps offers the most elegant display, with the whole tree-lined boulevard transformed into a delicate tunnel of lights. Pingxi v New Taipei City celebrates the festival with the release of huge lanterns that float serenely across the night sky, carrying with them the dedications and aspirations of those who release them.
• Festival zmajevih čolnov commemorates the death of the Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan (born 340 BC), who drowned himself in a river out of despair that his beloved country, Chu, was being plundered by a neighboring country as a result of betrayal by his own people. The festival is marked by races of colorful dragon boats held at various locations throughout the island, with one of the best places to view a race in the Taipei area being the Bitan River in Xindian. Special sticky rice balls called zongzi (pronounced like "dzongdz") are also eaten on this day. The festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
• Golden Horse Chinese Language Film Festival. Often referred to as the Oscars of the Chinese film world, while films in the awards section are all in Chinese, they have English subtitles and there is also a large non-competition foreign language section.  
• Taipei Film Festival (台北電影節). An international festival with two award sections – Taipei Award Nominees and International New Talent Nominees. Films are shown at several venues throughout the city.  
• Taipei Pride Parade. 

Nakup

It has been said that Los Angeles has no center. In contrast, one could say that Taipei is all center, and as such it has been given the epithet - "the emporium without end." Basically, however, the main shopping area can be divided into two districts: East and West. West Taipei is the old city and is characterized by narrow streets packed with small shops. East Taipei boasts wide tree lined boulevards and the biggest shopping malls are in this area.

Shopping areas

The busiest part of East Taipei is in between MRT Zhongxiao Dunhua Station and MRT Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall Station (Bannan Line). The axis of this shopping area is Zhongxiao East Road, Sec. 4., which is surrounded by numerous department stores. SOGO has three branches in this area, mainly sales various of boutique. Another notable one is Mingyao Department Store which has the flagship store of Uniqlo in it. East Taipei is also famous for the small stores inside the alleys. Po drugi strani, Daan Road in the other side of the area, has more elegant clothing shops.

Zabavni park Miramar

Xinyi is arguably the premier shopping area in Taipei, if not all of Taiwan, and is anchored by a number of department stores and malls. Key among them is Taipei 101 Mall, as part of the larger Taipei 101 complex, and the massive Xinyi branch of the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi departmental store chain, which is the largest department store in Taiwan. Eslite Mall is an upscale market-style shopping center with a 24-hour bookshop (with a good English selection) on the second floor and ethnic music store in basement. For absolute luxury, try Bellavita Shopping Mall ali Vetrični center. Also in the East District at near the Zhongxiao Fuxing Metro station is the flagship store of the Far Eastern Sogo department store chain, consisting of two separate buildings. Songshan has some shopping malls with distinctive architectural features, such as the Zabavni park Miramar, which sports a giant ferris wheel along with an IMAX theater.

Ximending, the area with youth

For trendier fashion catering to youths, check out Ximending (西門町) in Wanhua just west of Downtown. If it's pink, plastic, and imported from Japan, you can probably find it on sale in a store. Sneakerheads will also find shoe stores with the latest limited releases here in sneaker-crazy Taipei, though you need to get a number and wait in a queue buzzing with anticipation. Several night markets don't just sell food but also have a large variety of clothing, handbags and more, like Shida Night Market near the university areas in Gongguan in Nočna tržnica Shilin.

Electronic goods

As the sales headquarters for many homegrown multinational electronics manufacturers (including Asus, Garmin and Acer among others), good bargains and unique models can be found in Taipei. Those interested in picking up inexpensive electronic goods and cameras should wander the lanes and alleys around Kaifeng Street and Zhonghua Road, as well as the malls connected to Taipei Main Station.

Computer buffs will enjoy a visit to Guanghua Digital Plaza (光華數位新天地). Specializing in computer and electronic goods, this market has the largest number of stalls selling hardware and software under one roof in Taiwan, and all at very competitive prices. K-Mall, in the former Asiaworld department store on the east side of Shinkong Mitsukoshi, specializes in electronics of all kinds and is a location for large companies such as Asus, Samsung, Benq, and Acer to showcase their newest products. The Taipei Zhongshan Metro Shopping Mall (Easy Mall) is a long underground shopping area that houses several stores selling all manner of items, not necessarily limited to electronics. A few stores in the Easy Mall carry current and vintage video games, hardware and software.

Posebni predmeti

For jade, flowers and jewelry in one central location, check out the Jianguo Holiday Market v Daan. Na tej isti lokaciji dejansko obstajajo trije različni trgi, tržnica Weekend Jade, konec tedna cvetlična tržnica in konec tedna. Kot že imena povedo, so odprta le ob vikendih do 18:00. The Chinese Handicraft Mart v Zhongzheng is also good for handicrafts.

Wanhua's Dihua Street, Bopiliao Old Street and Snake Alley night market are throwbacks to the older days of Taipei, back when zeliščna zdravila and aphrodisiacs were extremely popular. Pottery enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to Yingge v New Taipei City. Its old street is a crescent of beautiful pottery shops interspersed with coffee shops and tea houses.

Zhongshan North Road (中山北路) is a tree-lined boulevard featuring numerous international and local brands. Gucci and Louis Vuitton are among the brands who operate stores along this street. This road, particularly along the second section, is also famous for its numerous wedding picture studios and gown boutiques. It is possible to find a great deal for wedding portraits here as competition is stiff.

Go to just north of the junction with Zhongxiao West Rd on Zhongshan North Rd, sec 1 (west side of the road) for trekking and backpacking stores selling a wide range of high quality equipment, and you'll be ready for all the outdoor hiking that Taipei and Taiwan offers.

Knjige

Eslite Bookstore Xinyi Store

Taipei has great book shops, and roads such are Chongqing South Road are packed with stores specializing in Chinese language books. The Station Front Area (站前) is a section of downtown Taipei just south of the Taipei Railway Station. It is a bustling area filled with shops and stores of all kinds, but it is particularly well known for its high concentration of bookstores due to the bloom of bushibans (also known as cram schools).

The following book stores all have good selections of angleščina titles:

• Eslite, ☏ 886 2 2775-5977. (誠品) – Eslite offers a good selection at most of their branches, although the 24 hour flagship store (2F, 245 Dunhua South Rd. has the best selection. Eslite Book Store and shopping mall (11 Songgau Road), which incidentally is the largest book store in Taiwan, have the greatest selection. The Songgau Rd branch is next to MRT Station 'Taipei City Hall'. 
• Jame Knjige (敦煌) has two branches (54-3 Zhongshan North Road, Sec 2, near Yuanshan MRT Station. tel 886 2 2599-1166). This is a temporary location, while the old store is demolished and rebuilt. The other branch (5, Le 38, Tianyu St, Tianmu. Tel: 2 886 2874-2199) is one of the original book stores in Taipei specializing in English titles. And, although it has been surpassed by the newer arrivals, it is still a good place to pick up a popular novel and English language textbooks.
• Lai Lai (來來), 4F, 271 Roosevelt Road, Sec 3, ☏ 886 2 2363-4265. This shop has a small but interesting selection of English material. 
• Crane Publishing Company, 200 Section 2, Jinshan S Rd, Da’an District, ☏ 886 2 2393-4497. Specialists in English language textbooks and teaching material. 
• Bookman Books, Room 5, 2F, 88 Xinsheng South Road, Sec 3, ☏ 886 2 2368-7226. This is an excellent collection of English literature books, albeit a little expensive. 
• Mollie Used Books, 12, Alley 10, Lane 244, Roosevelt Road sec 3, ☏ 886 2 2369-2780. You'll find a reasonable selection of English titles here. 

Opomba:: In order to protect the environment, a government policy rules that plastic bags cannot be given freely at stores in Taiwan, but have to be bought (NT$1) - bakeries being an exception as the items need to be hygienically wrapped. Re-usable canvas and nylon bags are sold at most supermarkets.

Jej

Taipei probably has one of the highest densities of restaurants in the world. Almost every street and alley offers some kind of eatery. Of course, Chinese food (from all provinces) is well-represented. In addition, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and Italian cuisines are also popular. V bistvu, East Taipei, especially around Dunhua and Anhe Roads, and also the expat enclave of Tianmu are where to clash chopsticks with the rich and famous, whereas West Taipei offers more smaller, homey restaurants.

Nočni trgi

Innocent-looking stinky tofu

There are several night markets (夜市) in each district. Some are open during daytime, and all are open until around midnight. Night markets consist of restaurants and stores at the permanent locations and little booths along the center. Every night market has a huge variety of food, so a visit to any one is a good bet for good food.

A lot of Taiwanese street food hasn't actually originated from Taipei, but any popular xiaochi (small snack) eventually makes their way up to the capital. Some of the best known night market snacks are: oyster vermicelli (蚵仔麵線; ô-á mī-sòa), oyster omelet (蚵仔煎; ô-á-chian), fried chicken fillet (雞排; jīpái), stinky tofu (臭豆腐; chòudòufǔ) and aiyu jelly (愛玉冰; ài-yù-bīng) among a long list of others. Because of the vast selection, the recommendation is to go with a few people and share the food. Otherwise, honestly the best way to eat is to join the longest queue in the market, or just buy whatever catches your eye! Vendor food is generally safe to eat, but use common sense though if you have a sensitive stomach.

Tianbula (甜不辣; tiánbúlà) Literally "Sweet, not spicy", is a Taiwanese version of Satsuma-age (referred to as Tempura in some regions of Japan)

The most famous one in Taipei is the Nočna tržnica Shilin (士林夜市). It is easily accessible via the MRT at either the Jiantan (劍潭) or Shilin (士林) stations. Locals in Taipei view Shilin as touristy, with food catering to the tastes of mainland visitors. Another excellent option is Ning Xia Night Market (寧夏夜市) in Datong near the Taipei Circle (建成圓環) and accessible via the MRT at Zhongshan (中山) station. Nočna tržnica Raohe Street (饒河街觀光夜市) is also a viable option. It is a mere stone's throw away from the Songshan (松山) railway station.

Restavracije

While it might be possible to spend all your dinners at night markets, Taipei also has plenty of sit-down restaurants with more substantial dishes. For upmarket Taiwanese cuisine, which revolves around the mild yet flavorful trio of basil, garlic and chili, in addition to white rice or sweet potato congee (no wheat-based products for example), try Ching-yeh Aoba v Zhongshan ali Shinyeh Table v Daan. But for more down-to-earth experiences, don't forget to go to one of the many "hot fry" (熱炒) restaurants in Taipei where the locals go to eat Taiwanese food and drink beer and kaoliang. Be prepared for a noisy atmosphere, tiny seats, lots of empty beer bottles and excellent food at a low price.

Din Tai Fung Restaurant - Taipei 101 branch

The influx of KMT migrants perhaps makes Taipei one of the easiest places to sample a quality spread of Chinese provincial cuisines. Xiaolongbao (小籠包) or soup dumplings is a Shanghainese dish made famous by Din Tai Fung, whose first storefront at Xinyi Road remains heavily patronised by fans of the world-wide franchise. They have many branches all over the city too, though their branch at Taipei 101 is also extra crowded. Around the corner from Xinyi Road is Ulica Yongkang, which boasts quite a mix of old and new restaurants like Kaochi ali Jin Ji Yuan. Both serve xiaolongbao, along with other dishes such as fried chicken, good alternatives for when the queue to Din Tai Fung is an hour long.

Beef noodle soup is a national icon; Taipei even holds a yearly judging event every September to appraise competitors. There are two main types: hongshao (紅燒牛肉麵), a strongly flavored dish derived from Sečuan spicy bean paste and soya sauce braised beef, and qingdun (清燉牛肉麵), a clear light broth, although there are even tomato varieties popping up around the city. Vklopljeno Yongkang St alone, there're already two beef noodle shops, Goveji rezanci Yongkang in Lao Zhang, which have their own regulars. Those more game to get to hard-to-find places can reward themselves at Lin Tung Fong in Zhongshan or the one at Taoyuan Street near Ximending.

Another popular dish in Taipei is ginger duck (薑母鴨)，which originated in Južni Fujian, but has undergone its own unique evolution in Taiwan. It is only eaten in the winter, and shops selling this dish close for the summer months. Ba Wei Ginger Duck (霸味薑母鴨) is a famous shop selling this dish, and while its main branch is in Sanchong, it also has many branches throughout the city.

Vegetarijansko

Vegetarian food (素食) is also common fare, with the city boasting more than two hundred vegetarian restaurants and vendor stands. Another Taipei specialty is vegetarian buffets. They are common in every neighborhood, and unlike the 'all-you-can-eat' buffets listed below (which charge a set price, usually ranging from NT$250-350 including dessert and coffee/tea), the cost is estimated by the weight of the food on your plate. Rice (there is usually a choice of brown or white) is charged separately, but soup is free and you can refill as many times as you like. NT$75-120 will buy you a good-sized, nutritious meal. Many of these veggie restaurants are Buddhist in nature and so meals do not contain garlic or onion (which traditionalists claim inflames passion).

• Minder Vegetarian. This is a restaurant chain offering the above-mentioned vegetarian buffet. Aside from the usual line of vegetarian dishes, contemporary cuisine such as rice rolls, tempura and a range of desserts, all entirely vegetarian, are offered as well. Major branches in Taipei are available at Taipei Main Station 2F, Breeze Taipei Branch, No. 3, Beiping North Road, Eslite Bookstore B2, Xinyi Branch, Xinyi District, No. 11, Songgao Road and Eslite Bookstore B1, Dunhua South Branch, Da-an District, No. 245, Dunhua South Road, Sec. 1.
• ^{[mrtva povezava]}Lotus Pavilion Restaurant, 153-155 Xinyi Rd B1, Sec. 4. (entrance in alley behind Changhwa Bank), ☏ 886 2 2703-5612. An upscale all-you-can-eat buffet. 
• King Join, No 18 Shin-Wei Rd, ☏ 886 2-2701-3225. Traditional Chinese setting. 
• For a special Taipei street experience, check out the veggie vendor outside No. 30, Lane 216, Zhongxiao East Road Sec. 4 (in the alleys behind the Dunhua South Road Eslite Mall and book store). The rice noodles are especially delicious and cheap and a plate of their dougan (dried tofu) makes a great side dish.

Pijte

The nightlife in Taipei runs from boisterous night markets to equally exuberant clubs and bars, and indeed the city comes alive with glittering lights after the last rays of the sun leave the grey buildings.

Bari in klubi

A cold can of Taiwan Beer

Xinyi is where the biggest and most flashy clubs are, especially the ATT4FUN Building which has an excellent view of Taipei 101, while smaller shophouses around the Taida and Shida university areas host live music gigs (although lessened after noise complaints). The "Combat Zone" in Zhongshan used to be the go-to district for ZDA soldiers in the Vietnam War and remains fairly gritty with quite the collection of dive bars. Območje okoli Red House Theater near Ximending has a large number of outdoor bars which are generally known to be gay-friendly. Obiščite Taiwan Beer Bar, also known as Taipei Brewery, in Zhongzheng if you fancy trying cheap and fresh brews of the local favorite Taiwan Beer.

Cover charges are usually required for entry, but these will include a free drink at the very least, with some places even offering free flow of house pours for the whole night after payment. Wednesday nights are ladies' night in most venues.

Tea houses

Taiwan's speciality tea is High Mountain Oolong (高山烏龍, a fragrant, light tea) and Tieguanyin (鐵觀音, a dark, rich brew).

The mountainous Maokong area of Muzha in the Wenshan district of the city has dozens upon dozens of teahouses, many of which also offer panoramic views of the city. Its especially spectacular on a clear evening. A Gondola Maokong (cable car) system services the Taipei Zoo MRT station to Maokong. The S10 bus comes up from the Wanfang Community MRT station.

Kavarne

While traditionally a nation of tea drinkers, the Taiwanese have really embraced the cafe culture, and all the usual chains can be found here in abundance. For cafes with more character, roam the back streets near National Taiwan University between Xinsheng South Road and Roosevelt Road in Gongguan. More cafes are in the area around Renai Road, Section 4 and Dunhua South Road. There are also some interesting and characterful places between Yongkang Park and Chaozhou Street, and in the alleys around Shida Road. However, for a particularly impressive range of styles, visit Bitan in Xindian, where all the cafes offer restful views over the river and mountains beyond (though can be noisy during weekends).

Spi

Taipei offers an important number of various accommodations ranging from basic dorms to 5-star luxury hotels. Glej districts articles to read detailed listings.

Tourists sleeping one night in Taipei might want to stay in Zhongzheng, near the Main Train Station, where many budget accommodations can be found. Hostels can be found in the old Taipei območje. Hotels around the Ximending area would be convenient for those wanting to eat, shop and party all in one area. Business travelers would probably prefer to stay in Xinyi, the financial district, where many luxury hotels are found. The Grand Hotel in Zhongshan, built back when Chiang Kai-shek decided there wasn't a suitable hotel in which to welcome foreign dignitaries, may appeal to those interested in classical Chinese architecture and history. 10% service fee and 5% VAT are usually not included in the top end hotel rates.

If you're staying a bit more long-term in Taipei, do as some daily commuters do and get cheaper rooms outside city boundaries, in places such as Xindian in Yonghe, which are still somewhat accessible through the Taipei MRT network.

Taichi

• Unless you have a recommendation, the best way to find a good teacher is to visit a park at sunrise and check out the scene for yourself. If you spot a group that impresses you, approach one of the students and inquire about joining them. Most teachers will be happy to have a new student, though some old masters may 'play hard to get.' In the latter case, persistence is required. Most teachers will expect some sort of fee for their tuition. However, as it is considered impolite to directly ask the teacher this question, use a fellow student as mediator. Furthermore, when offering the money on the alloted day, place it in a red envelope (hongbao - available at all convenience and stationary stores) and slip it to the teacher subtly. Offering cash openly to a teacher of a traditional art or religion is considered undignified and demeaning. Most parks host tai'chi groups, but the most popular places are the grounds of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (nearest MRT station - CKS Memorial Hall) and Spominska dvorana Sun Yat-sen (nearest MRT station - SYS Memorial Hall) as well as 228 Peace Park (formerly known as New Park - nearest MRT station - National Taiwan University Hospital).

Foreign missions

As the People's Republic of China (PRC) does not allow other countries to have diplomatic relations with both itself and the ROC on Taiwan, many of the world's nations do not have official embassies or consulates in Taiwan. However, as the PRC allows recognition of Taiwan as a separate economy, many nations maintain a "Trade Office', "Institute" or something of a similar name in Taipei. These missions serve as de facto embassies that perform consular activities, such as issuing visas.
