The Rankings Speak for Themselves

Resonance Consultancy's "World's Best Cities" report for 2024 has placed Taipei 11th in Asia, a significant leap from its previous positions. Globally, while it stands at 42nd, don't let that number fool you.

In the realms of restaurants and shopping, Taipei proudly holds the 9th and 12th positions, respectively. And if you're wondering who topped the charts, London took the global crown, with Tokyo reigning supreme in Asia.

A Culinary Odyssey

"From an urban jungle to an actual real-life jungle, Taipei’s dual landscape reveals a trove of tasty treasures."

This isn't just a catchy phrase; it's the truth! Recognized as the birthplace of delights like boba, Mongolian BBQ, and the world-renowned Din Tai Fung (though there's a fun debate about the true origins of bubble tea), Taipei's gastronomic scene is nothing short of dynamic.

Whether you're exploring the Shida Night Market, relishing traditional stir-fry at Baxian Grill, or indulging in gourmet dishes at RAW and Mume, your taste buds are in for a treat. Explore more dining options on the EatWith Website.

And no trip to Taipei is complete without wandering through the Taipei Technology district and the iconic Guang Hua Digital Plaza.

More than Just Sights and Bites

Taipei isn't just about food and shopping. It's a city with a heart. As the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, Taiwan continues to be an inclusive haven.

Moreover, with initiatives like New Taipei City's Climate Action Plan, the city is paving the way for sustainable living by emphasizing green buildings, smart transportation, and efficient resource allocation
