Loving Taipei

Taipei is an undiscovered gem full of smelly night markets, only-in-Taiwan foods, stunning hillsides, roaring-1920s history, Instagrammable experiences (ever been shrimp fishing?), late-night noodles, and tons of fun for any traveler - but that's not what you'll find in the standard tourist guidebooks or on the standard Taipei tourist trail.



Don't get stuck at Snake Alley and Din Tai Fung. Forget the guides written by AI bots or foreign visitors. Loving Taipei brings you in-depth on-the-ground Taipei knowledge only a Taipei local can deliver.



Loving Taipei, like Taipei itself, is brimming with off-the-beaten-track treasures, street smarts, wacky local trivia, and of course, lots of stinky tofu. Everything comes with a map link and a QR code so you can easily navigate to even the sketchiest local hangouts.
