Comepare with Hong Kong, Tokyo and Taipei, Taipei is my favorite city in Asia. Not just because Taipei is my home town but not too pack as Hong Kong and expensive as Tokyo.
Even Taipei is not the most clean city in the Asia, but you can always find something to eat and something to do 24 hours. Even not everyone can speak good English but people always friendly.
Taipei is a fruit kingdom. Taiwanese food also amazing. The culture at the night market is u have to eat and walk at the same time. But don't forget it's not allow to eat and drink in the subway even the chewing gum. That's why the Taipei metro system is the most comfortable city railway in the world.
Welcome you to come to Taipei. To enjoy the life in Taipei. I know that you will like it!!
