The Sights:Chiang Kai-shek Memorial HallThe National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a monument erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China, in Taipei, Taiwan. A new name for the structure, National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. The ponds and parks surrounding the memorial and cultural centers feature well-maintained lawns, trees, and pathways.

Taipei has always tended to be unfairly dismissed as the 'Ugly Duckling' - not least by its own citizens, who still refer to it as the "provisional capital". Certainly no one has ever thought to call it the 'Pearl of the Orient', anyway - not even in jest.Architecturally speaking, Taipei still suffers from the Bonn syndrome. It's a provisional capital whose shadow no one ever bothered to endow with substance. Unlike the German 'world village'

Taipei (traditional Chinese: 臺北市 or 台北市; Hanyu Pinyin: Táiběi Shì; Tongyong Pinyin: Táiběi Shìh,Taiwanese Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-pak-chhī) is the capital of the Republic of China (ROC).Taipei City is located in the Taipei Basin in northern Taiwan. It is bordered by the Xindian River on the south, and the Danshui (Tamsui) River on the west. One of the landmarks and attractions is the Taipei 101 that is a 101-floor landmark skyscraper that claimed the title of world's tallest building when it opened in 2004. Designed by C.Y. Lee & Partners and constructed by KTRT Joint Venture, Taipei 101 remains the tallest completed skyscraper in the world, measuring 449 m (1,474 ft) from ground to roof. Taipei 101 also set new records for ascending elevator speed. The landmark has won numerous international awards for its innovations.

Taipei (chino tradicional: 臺北 o 台北, chino simplificado: 台北, pinyin: Táiběi, Wade-Giles: T'aipei) es la mayor ciudad y la capital de facto de Taiwán. Su estatus oficial es el de capital provisional de la República de China. Su población es de 2.630.872 habitantes (enero de 2007).Taipei es una municipalidad especial administrada directamente por el Gobierno central de Taiwán. Se localiza al norte de la isla, enclavada dentro del distrito de Taipei, aunque no forma parte de éste.Por su alta proporción de pobladores de origen chino continental y su dependencia del comercio, la ciudad de Taipei es mucho más partidaria de la reunificación con China que otras áreas de Taiwán. La lengua más hablada es el chino mandarín, mientras que en el resto de la isla predominan los dialectos chinos Minnan y hakka.Entre sus atracciones turísticas se encuentran el Taipei 101 al cual el Libro Guinness de Récords lo declaró en octubre del 2003 como el edificio más alto del mundo

Not too many people travel to Taiwan for vacation. In fact, I have to admit that I didn’t have any real interest in ever going to Taiwan until a whole group of our friends from KL moved to Taipei this year. But last weekend, I had the opportunity to discover that, clearly, we were all wrong. Taipei is an exciting, trendy, vibrant city with tons to do, a strong cultural connection, and a real cosmopolitan energy. Last weekend Alex and I had the pleasure of spending four days in Taipei thanks to our very hospitable friends, Darby and David, who let us stay in their palace of an apartment in Tianmu. We had such a great time hanging out with them and playing with their brilliant 15 month old daughter, Elliette. We also got to visit with our friends Mel and Dave who used to life in KL, which was an excellent surprise! As soon as we arrived in Taipei we headed out to visit David at work (at Taipei American School), which is in the Tianmu district of the city. Just on that short ride to

New high-tech wealth and a flurry of upscale shops, clubs, and restaurants that have opened in the capital city are sparking a “Taipei is the next Shanghai” buzz. It’s not quite there—yet—but visitors will appreciate a more reliable transportation system as well as friendly locals who speak better English than their mainland counterparts. After winter’s chill and before summer’s monsoons is the best time to go. Plan on a five-day stay, after which it’s an easy jump to other Asian hot spots. 1. Bring some Ambien for the eighteen-hour flight to Taipei. China Airlines flies direct from JFK (with a refueling stopover in Anchorage -reindeer jerky makes an excellent snack) or fly from London with EVA air direct. 2. The most stylish of the megahotels is the 856-room Grand Hyatt Taipei (from $172; 886-2-2720-1234) in trendy Xinyi. For less bustle, try the chic 84-room Les Suites Taipei Ching-Cheng (from $210; 886-2-8712-7688), with flat-screen TVs and a lovely garden. (more&h

Taipei, the political and financial center of Taiwan, is the island’s most populous city. Taipei originated as a small trading port over two hundred years ago before becoming the administrative capital under the Qing Dynasty. During the last few decades there has been tremendous growth in the city. Now a sprawling metropolis, Taipei is an ideal place to visit for those who love the hustle and bustle of the big city. Bei Tou (Peitou) Located in the northwest, Bei Tou is famous for its sulfur springs, spas and hotels. One of the more popular sulfur pits is Hell Valley. Bei Tou is in the middle of a small mountain range connected to Wellington Heights and Yang Ming Shan by public transport. Yang Ming Shan National Park is a great place to go hiking. Shi Lin (Shihlin) The Shi Lin district covers both banks of the Keelung River and spills into the surrounding mountains. Shi Lin is best known for Shihlin Night Market, Taipei’s largest night market. North of the market is the pea

Does participation of 200 companies in an exhibition means unveiling of 200 new gadgets and gizmos or other accessories? Well, I don’t know about other exhibition but yes Taipei Computer Application Show, a five-day long exhibition started in Taipei on 2 August will surely offer this. All set with more than 200 computer and peripherals companies from Taiwan and across the globe, the interesting and desired computer accessories can be grabbed from here as the show will be equipped with an exceptional display of an array of products.And this over populated hall is a clear reflection that the exhibition is inviting more than 200 visitors. Of course, one need not doubt this. Take a look at the model holding a Canon camera at the opening of the show.

The Coral Reef Alliance - Coral Reef Tourism Protects Its Pot Of Gold, Taipei Times, 06/22/07By Bonnie TsuiSource: Taipei Times06/22/07Green sea turtles, cascades of glittering reef fish, blooming coral pillars -- countless travelers have come nose to nose with a thriving undersea universe while on vacation.But increasingly, divers and snorkelers are swimming over bleached hunks of coral devastated by shore runoff or overfishing. From the South Pacific to the Caribbean, coral reefs -- which are among the most delicate of marine ecosystems -- are bearing the brunt of climate change and other human-driven activities -- including coastal development, deforestation and unrestricted tourism.Now, many in the tourist industry are trying to halt the damage and it is no wonder. The dollars involved in reef-based tourism are significant: Australia's Great Barrier Reef alone draws about 1.9 million visitors a year, supporting a US$4.2 billion industry.

The recent pause in posts has been due to a short break we've taken in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan.The two and a half hour flight from Incheon with Asiana Airlines was a bargain 270,000 won each.Our accommodation during the holiday was the remarkable Grand Hotel.It may look very grand from the outside, but inside the rooms and facilities are of a regular three star hotel, still, the foyer was quite impressive.Our first stop was the world famous National Palace Museum.

Ali Shirazinia (aka Dubfire) is one-half of Grammy award winning and four-time nominated duo Deep Dish. He will release his first ever mix album via Global Underground titled “Dubfire GU031 - Taipei”. According to a press release, the mix will feature songs and remixes by Depeche Mode, Carl Craig, Carl Craig and many others including exclusive Dubfire remixes and his new single “I Feel Speed”. “This mix is more about who I am, as opposed to Deep Dish.

I’ve always been about pushing the envelope musically and anytime there’s a new sound, I’m paying attention.” -Dubfire, February 2007 (more…)

We made a day trip to Taipei the day after that tiring journey to Nantou. Our first stop was the main office of MECO where me made a courtesy call to Gen. Edgardo Espinosa, resident representative of MECO Taiwan. We then proceeded to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications for a courtesy call to Mr. C. T. Su, Director General of the Tourism Bureau. With all those appointments, our entire morning was gone.So after lunch, we went straight to the National Palace Museum. It is said to house one of the best collections of Chinese artifacts. In fact, the collection is quite controversial and is the subject of a dispute between the Mainland and Taiwan.The National Palace Museum was established in Beijing in 1925 with the expulsion of the last emperor Puyi. In the 1930s and 1940s, the artifacts, which consisted of the valuables of the former Imperial family, were moved from place to place to avoid falling into the hands of the invading Japanese.During the final years of the Chinese C
