This is a revisit to Taipei and has all new information and suggestions. On my recent visit I came to appreciate the city more and found new and exciting areas and sights to explore. I was struck by its modernity and energy. Although there are not many western tourists, it is a big tourist destination for Asian visitors, but was welcoming and easy for English-speakers to explore. It has a fascinating and dramatic history when the government of China fled here with around 2 million refugees after losing the fight against the Communist uprising in 1949. In the podcast hear about the must-see sights including:  Taipei 101. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, with the National Concert Hall and National Theatre in same park complex. Presidential Office Building. National Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. Longshan Temple, Xingtian Temple and Dalongdong Baoan Temple. National Palace Museum. Taipei Zoo. Shinlin Night Market. Din Tai Fung Restaurant (my notes)  Resources:  Taipei City Government site: http:\/\/english.gov.taipei Taipei Metro: http:\/\/english.metro.taipei You Bikes: https:\/\/taipei.youbike.com.tw\/en\/index.php  This episode was supported by DK Eyewitness Travel Guides (USA listeners) (UK listeners): After listening to the podcast and have any thoughts please leave a comment on Tipsfortravellers.com\/podcast, email me or leave a review on iTunes.
