Transport

Generally speaking the best way to get around Taipei is to use public transportation. That’s an excellent system of public transportation here and locals say it’s truly the best way to see this beautiful city and get from point A to point B.

Metro Taipei is the train system in Taipei. Six major routes connect the cities and districts of Taipei County and since trains run often, this is the system that will get you where you need to go quickly and efficiently. Locals say the trains are punctual, so you need to be as well, and waits can range from as little as 2 minutes during peak times to as much as 15 minutes during off-peak times.

If you’re not averse to taking the bus, try using this method to get around Taipei. These aren’t the buses many tourists will liken to the dirty, questionable buses from back home. Buses in Taipei are clean, new, comfortable and sometimes a preferred way to get to where you’re going. Locals recommend buying a bus guide and tapping into your driver’s expertise to get where you want to go.

Cabs are an option in Taipei, though it’s a more expensive option than riding the bus or train. You can also rent a car here, but most visitors and locals say it’s the worst way to try and get around Taipei. As you figure out the rules of the road and focus on your driving, you’ll miss out on some essential sites. In addition, parking can be hard to find and expensive. Most agree it’s better to leave the driving to someone else.

Attractions

• The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (Metro station: Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall) is a famous monument that was erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. The monument, surrounded by a park and a large square incorporating the National Concert Hall and National Theater, stands within sight of the Republic of China's Presidential Building in Taipei's Zhongzheng District.

• The National Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (Metro station: Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall) is a memorial to one of the most recognizable founding fathers of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen, and was completed on May 16, 1972. From the opening of the hall, majority of the exhibits displayed were revolutionary events of the national founding fathers at the end of the Qing Dynasty. However, recently its function moved toward a multi-purpose social, educational and cultural center for the Taiwanese public. The Memorial Hall is within walking distance to Taipei 101.
