Taipei has lot to offer though I was very spectacle about the trip as Taipei is not that popular as any other cities in the world. But It was worth going Taiwan. Though the accomodation is bit high but at the end of the day you won't regret. Anyway at my first day I stayed in one the best apartment in the centre of the city booked through Airanb. Was bit tired after a long flight from Delhi to Taipei. Took half day to relax and then started my journey. You should know that transportation is best in Taipei I would advice rather using Taxi or Cab kindly make the prepaid card of MRT which is a way cheaper and available on all the grocery shops including 7 Eleven. Since I have never seen panda before so I decided to start with the Taipei Zoo and You won't believe it was the life time experience, they have all the animals of the world in this very zoo. The zoo is equipped with all the facilities as its huge and one can't finish seeing Zoo in half day or in few hours you have to have full to enjoy the Zoo. It's very well connected with MRT and other means of commuting.
To visit entire Taipei spare atleast 6 to 7 days for only main attractions, there are variety of food from Indian cuisine to Italian to Thai but I always prefer the local food. So I opt for sea food which is the main food of Taiwan and trust me they have fantastic choices mainly in sea food good part is you can chose the fresh catch right at the restaurant itself.
