Our two-week trip to Taiwan was in Dec 2014 – Jan 2015.  While Taiwan had some interesting geography, culture, parks, and architecture, we were not enamored enough to return or make a strong recommendation to others.  However, it was one of our favorite trips.  We had an incredible young man as our private driver and guide around the island.  He was energetic, knowledgeable, and loved his country.  He went out of his way to be sure that every day was interesting and fun.  Sadly, we can’t remember his name. Our trip was wonderful because of his enthusiasm and professionalism. I wish we could thank him again. 

It was a fun city with a lot to see and great night markets and food stalls

Many older important buildings in the city - Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall

Before we started our tour of the island, we spent three days in Taipei

Easy to find a quick bite of something to eat on the street.

Chiang Kai-shek Liberty Square

Taipei 101 is 1,667 ft and was the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2010

Our awesome guide. Thank you so much
