Taipei (Keelung), Taiwan, Province of China

Taipei in Brief

A City Steeped in History and Tradition Uncover Taipei’s curious blend of Chinese, Japanese and Western influences during a visit to the Taiwanese capital. Meet your guide and set out by motor coach for the city, pausing for a photo stop at the famed Taipei 101 skyscraper, once the tallest in the world. Continue to Liberty Square, where you will see the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, surrounded by a green park. The hall is dedicated to the leader who led nationalists from mainland China during the 1949 Communist takeover. Take in the sight of the pagoda-like design of the National Theater and National Concert Hall’s twin venues, also on the square, then head to the National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine, set in the mountains overlooking the Keelung River. This brightly decorated yet solemn place is a reminder of the 330,000 people who lost their lives fighting for the Republic of China. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
