After the tasting break, partygoers at heart can showcase their singing talent by going to a KTV. A KTV is an establishment specially dedicated to karaoke. There are several in Taipei, and they are usually open 24/7. Thus, tourists can engage in this activity at any time of the trip and let off steam through singing.

As for those who want to immerse themselves in history, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is the right spot. This room commemorates Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic of China. This attraction provides an in-depth discovery of his life story and an opportunity to admire art exhibitions, a gigantic library of 300,000 books, and a magnificent park around the memorial. A detour to this part of Taipei is worth a visit. If more is needed for history buffs, another monument in the city serves as a landmark. It is known as the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial, the former president of Taiwan. It is also important to note that shows often occur there with artists and musicians who participate joyfully. Also, tai chi and kung fu classes can be attended in the landscaped gardens.

The next stop is Taipei Tower 101. It is the perfect place to contemplate dizzying views from its top floor. An indoor observatory on the 89th floor and an open-air one on the 91st floor are available for the adventurous who dream of enjoying the splendid views of the town. Visitors must also take the elevator to the top before accessing this unique spectacle.

Even though Taipei is very well-designed for city life and includes many activities, it is possible to find oneself in the middle of nature. For this, hiking is highly recommended. It is possible to find several trails and walks through the forests and tea plantations to enjoy the calm and breathe the fresh air. ◄
