About Taipei, Taiwan.
Taipei City, the capital of Taiwan, was listed in the 2020 Global City Index by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as an “Alpha” world city, alongside cities such as Seoul, Dublin, Zurich, San Francisco, and Luxembourg.
Taipei City’s economy is predominantly oriented towards the tertiary sector (services), with the secondary sector (industry) following closely behind and the primary sector (agriculture, forestry, fishery, and animal husbandry) accounting for only a small portion. Primary areas of growth include retail and wholesale, financial services, the exhibition industry, information and communication technology (both software and hardware), biotechnology, and others.
Besides its prosperous industries and economic hubs that outshine those of other Taiwanese cities and counties, Taipei is the top choice for the majority of overseas tourists. With 19 nationally designated historic sites, 180 municipally designated historic sites, 329 historical buildings, and five commemorative structures, Taipei leads the way in terms of both cultural landmarks and museums that showcase its unique appeal. Taipei’s other attractions are diverse and vibrant and span its various regions, from natural sanctuaries like the Taipei City Waterbird Refuge and Guandu Nature Park to urban green spaces such as Daan Forest Park and cultural hotspots like the Jianguo Holiday Flower and Jade Market and Treasure Hill. Activities such as shrimp fishing, temple visits for blessings and lighting of the Guangming Lights, and praying for new love are all integral parts of the Taipei lifestyle, making it an ideal destination for family outings. Additionally, Taipei’s annual events, like the Taipei New Year City celebration and the Taipei 101 New Year’s Eve fireworks display, as well as the Taipei Lantern Festival, are enjoyed by people of all ages.
Through the creation of a friendly city image and offering diverse and enriching tourism experiences, Taipei has captured the attention of global travelers, earning its place in recommended lists published by travel magazines and online media such as Lonely Planet, Fox News, and BuzzFeed.
According to OpView’s analysis of comments on the Tripadvisor website, Taipei’s top 10 attractions in 2017 for international tourists included Taipei 101, the National Palace Museum, Lungshan Temple, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Shilin Night Market, Maokong Gondola, Xiangshan Hiking Trail, Ximending, Taipei Zoo, and Raohe Street Night Market.
Attractions such as Beitou Hot Springs, Xingtian Temple, the National Martyrs’ Shrine, and Yangmingshan National Park also received glowing reviews from international visitors.
