When to go to Taipei?
Skyscraper and street stall sit minutes apart here: Taipei 101 climbs above the district while Shilin night market fills the lanes below with steam, sizzle and dumplings eaten standing up. Ride south to Maokong and the air turns green and woody among the tea plantations. The National Palace Museum guards the treasures that tell the island's longer story.
