Arriving in Taoyuan, took the train into Taipei watching the landscape of Taiwan.
Walked all day exploring.
Smells and sites seen the world over.
Vendors setting up in these earlier AM hours.
A mixture of old and new, worn and...worn. Datong District is the oldest area of Taipei.
Dihua is a shopping street since the 1800s.
Head swiveling upwards looking at the timelines of buildings.
Love me a market.
Lungshan Temple was built in 1738.
Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
Jumping on the subway to head to the east part of Taipei to the Xinyi District.
Taipei 101
Tallest building in the world from 2004-2010.
At its base is a mall. Since it's Asia. No shortages of malls.
View from the 89th floor.
Long walk to the Zhongshan District.
Braised pork ribs with Chinese black dates at Shin Yeh.
Yep, another underground mall.
On to the next stop.
