Taipei - City Video Guide
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. Enjoy the blooms at the flower markets. Hunt down bargains in giant department stores and cruise the restaurants in Yong Kang Street.
Rocket to the heavens aboard the high-speed elevators of Taipei 101 and enjoy the spectacular views from one of the world's tallest skyscrapers.
There are plenty of natural vantage points around the city too, such as Elephant Mountain, Maokong Mountain and Mount Qixing.
At sundown, head to the Shilin Night Market to feast, shop and simply enjoy this incredible city.
Taiwanese Beef Noodles at Lin Dong Fang (林東芳牛肉麵) - BEST Taiwan Beef Noodles in Taipei!
Lin Dong Fang serves some of the best Taiwanese beef noodles in Taipei►
One of the most popular dishes to eat in Taiwan in Taiwanese beef noodle soup - I think it’s something nearly everyone gets excited about eating. When I was in Taipei, I was really doing some research and trying to decided which beef noodle soup restaurant to try out, and finally I settled on trying Lin Dong Fang (林東芳牛肉麵), one of the old school and most respected names in the beef noodle crazy Taipei. So one day for lunch, Ying and I headed to the restaurant early before the lunch rush, ready to slurp down a bowl of noodles.
The simmering pans of beef were all sitting at the front of the restaurant, slowly braised and brewing in their own liquids ready to be dished out. The noodles were first blanched in water for a few minutes and then dished into a bowl, paired with the beef and tendon and then topped in slow brewed soup. The menu is not all that extensive, and nor does it need to be, because when you eat at Lin Dong Fang (林東芳牛肉麵), you come there for the Taiwanese beef noodles. You can either order the large or the small sized bowl, I decided to go for the large bowl which was served in a metal bowl. Another choice you have is about meat and tendon, of which you can either choose one or the other, or you can get a combination of half and half, which is also what I did - that seems to be a pretty common thing to do.
The broth was made with beef, but also with an extremely pleasant combination of Chinese medicinal herbs and spices, so it had a very soothing flavor and aroma to it. The noodles were on the bottom, topped with both the slices of beef and the tendon, and then a handful of green onions were placed on top. It was so simple, but so well prepared and well assembled. The meat was unbelievably tender, fall apart tender, and it was full of flavor as well. Tendon is not my favorite cut, but even the tendon at Lin Dong Fang (林東芳牛肉麵) was pretty good - it was nice and tender, and almost had a creaminess to it. Even though the beef noodle soup was good enough to eat on its own without any condiments, there’s no hurt in adding some condiments to any bowl of noodles - that’s another great reason to eat soup. On every table at the restaurant there was a cup full of some red chili paste that looked like peanut butter. After adding some to the soup, the broth took on a lovely dry chili flavor, which enhanced the broth even more. There was also a bottle of Chinese style vinegar chili sauce which tasted pretty good on the meat as well.
I’m not sure if Lin Dong Fang (林東芳牛肉麵) is the best beef noodle restaurant in Taipei, because there are so many restaurant and so many choices, but I can say that their bowl of beef noodles fulfilled my expectations, and made me very happy about eating Taiwanese beef noodles. If you love beef and noodles, I don’t think there’s anyway you won’t love eating at Lin Dong Fang (林東芳牛肉麵) restaurant when you’re in Taipei.
Lin Dong Fang (林東芳牛肉麵), Taipei, Taiwan
Address: No. 274 Bade Road, Section 2, Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan
Open hours: Monday - Saturday from 11:00am – 6:00 am
Prices: The big sized bowl of beef noodles is 240 TWD ($7.30) - not a bad price for everything included in the bowl, the normal bowl I believe is 170 TWD ($5.17)
How to get there: The restaurant is located on Bade road, about halfway in-between Nanjing Fuxing and Zhongxiao Fuxing Station. I think it would be about a 5 - 10 minute walk from either of these stations.

桃園大溪和平老街
桃園大溪和平老街建築物具有著日式巴洛克式浮雕山牆並混入本土建築色彩，築起一幢幢精緻美麗的樓坊是台灣地方文化非常珍貴的文化資產，這舊式建築物發展出老街形式特色風格，在台灣十大老街裡擁有一席之位。
來到大溪和平老街當然不可錯過就是老街上美食小吃，過去要是有機會來到大溪和平老街絕對不會錯過美食小吃，像是呂媽媽豆花、停車場旁的阿伯豆干、蕭客家麻糬、黃日香豆干、里長嬤碗粿、金字塔三角湯圓糯米腸、江家古早味花生糖這些幾乎都視每次必吃的美食小吃，可惜來到桃園大溪和平老街前已經先在婚宴場所吃得非常飽，所以這次美食小吃變成只能選擇性進食。
一路上我們吃呂媽媽豆花、邱記涼糕、鳥蛋、停車場阿嬤豆干(以前的阿伯豆干)、蕭客家麻糬、里長嬤碗粿、黃日香豆干以上這些已經是我們最大進食量。
桃園大溪和平老街現在除了欣賞建築物吃美食小吃外，在公有停車場旁大溪中正公園是讓你在逛完老街後可以輕鬆休息的好地方，這座公園建立於日據時代大正元年(西元1912年)歷史悠久，是台灣最早建立的公園之一，公園內歷史古蹟像是清朝的大墓公『復興亭』，日據時代的『忠魂碑』、『大溪神社』、『大溪公會堂』都是在讓我們休息之餘還可以緬懷的歷史。

Forests, Flowers, and Waterfalls
Text: Rick Charette
Sun-Link-Sea
A “forest and nature resort,” a privately operated getaway idyll (NT$250 entry fee).
At the upper end of the resort road is at Songlong Rock Waterfall. At the base of a Cinemascope-wide semi-circular cliff is a large, deep green lagoon busy with fish in the water and eye-catching birds above. Two massive mid-lagoon boulders are covered completely with vegetation, trees “impossibly” growing atop their solid-rock bed. The cliff’s base is “gone,” to a height of 30 meters and a depth of 30, a cave now where once soft sandstone was emplaced. A paved pathway takes you along the cliff base and through the gaping hole, and you emerge directly before the waterfall itself, at its base.
Sun-Link-Sea Forest and Nature Resort

Between Sun-Link-Sea and Xitou – Wangyou Forest
Beside County Road 95, a few kilometers from Sun-Link-Sea, you’ll see a large “Wangyou Forest” sign From there, a narrow road leaps up past tea fields, tilted at startling angles. Take the 15-minute huff-and-puff walk up to the forest-entrance path (NT$50 entry), or use one of the privately-operated shuttle vans (NT$200 return). Wangyou Forest is a section of tall-pine forest drowned when the creek that gurgles through was blocked by Taiwan’s infamous 921 Earthquake in 1999.
Le Midi Hotel Chitou
This is a veritable high-mountain hideaway oasis of regal splendor amidst a world of tall trees and rugged mountains. The owners are avid hunters of European-nobility antiques, and eager to show them off. In the lobby and other areas you are regaled with imperial-French furniture, clocks, and other curios collected on hunting forays in Europe. The guestrooms are all spacious and tastefully appointed in modernistic continental European style, with bright nature-evocative green, white, and brown tones predominant. Room rates start at NT$11,000; one dinner and breakfast included

Xiaobantian Bridge
Opened in 2014, this is mountainous Nantou County’s highest extradosed bridge, its roadbed 60 meters up from the valley floor. Its soaring grey towers are shaped like giant bamboo stalks, just like Taipei’s famed Taipei 101 tower. Xiaobantian is home to numerous fetching waterfalls, Dexing Waterfall perhaps the best-known. On the higher reaches of a boulder-strewn Beishi River tributary stream, it has two sections, the upper, 30m high, has carved a cool, calm pool at its base perfect for wading.
Sky Ladder Scenic Area (NT$50 adults)
A well-maintained trail brings you down, down, relentlessly down to the bottom of Taiji Gorge. Moving through thick bamboo forest, among your gorge-bottom rewards will be the Sky Ladder – a suspension-bridge engineering marvel – a sheer-cliff cave-dwelling Earth God temple below it, and Qinglong Waterfall.
BeYoung Garden
On the second floor of a still-operating small inter-town bus station that looks like a set for a 1950s period movie. “Zhushan” literally means “Bamboo Mountain”; the area is renowned for bamboo cultivation and products, bamboo is a key restaurant decorative material, and the chefs make edible bamboo a prominent ingredient. Specially recommended: the “three-cups mushroom bitter-tea range chicken” and “dried bamboo with soy-braised pork” set meals.
