Welcome to Taiwan, considered the jewel in the Asia Pacific rim. On arrival at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport, you will be greeted by our airport representative, who will assist with the transfer to the capital city – Taipei (80 km, 45 minutes). Along the way, view city landmarks from a distance, such as the palace-like Grand Hotel and the Taipei 101 Tower – the tallest building in the world until early 2010. Taiwan is also famous for its wide variety of cuisine. When Chiang Kai Shek came to Taiwan back in 1949, two million people followed him; among them were students, soldiers, and chefs from different provinces of China. As a result, there are many restaurants showcasing dishes from all over China, and in addition, there are the flavours introduced by Taiwan’s Hakka community and 16 indigenous tribes. This combination of tastes and trends has resulted in fabulous flavours and cuisines. In the early evening, explore the city’s CBD area and get an understanding of the city as you drive through the organized traffic, the greenery, the tall buildings, and how everything keeps moving at a steady pace. Tonight you will be introduced to the delicious signature dishes at Din Tai Fung dumpling restaurant. Watch the dumpling master making the dumplings in the open kitchen. After dinner, visit the local night market and get a glimpse into Taipei’s nightlife.
