Taipei is a popular travel destination for many Singaporeans. With a strong Chinese and Japanese influence, and a tinge of Western flavour, this cosmopolitan city is friendly for travellers of all race and ages. Despite its popularity, travel information on Taiwan cities including Taipei is often in Mandarin making it tough particularly for first-time travellers who are not as well versed in the language. Thankfully, the folks at Expedia have come up with a comprehensive Taipei Travel Guide that will help you plan your perfect trip to Taipei City!
