Taiwan was on our minds for a while thanks to all the Instagram travel stories and gorgeous sights of Taipei. The vibrant capital of Taiwan is considered a high-technology city with an interesting mix of culture, architecture, and history-making it a great destination for an urban getaway. Did you know that before Dubai’s Burj Khalifa was named as the tallest building in the world, Taipei 101 held the title from 2004 to 2010? Make sure you visit this iconic landmark along with the National Palace Museum, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, Hsing Tian Kong, Lungshan Temple of Manka and Ximending. Don’t miss the beautiful night markets across the city, hipster cafes, and explore the famous, local dishes such as the Taiwanese xiaochi, beef noodle soup and the super interesting stinky tofu. Redefining the meaning of luxury in Taipei, citizenM is a name that modern travelers and millennials swear by. Taipei is home to the first Asian hotel of the brand, celebrating the dynamic high-tech city in a destination that deserves to be explored.
