Taipei is a thoroughly modern city that still has close ties to its past. Walk down any Taipei street and you’ll see examples of this everywhere, from slick businessmen setting ghost money on fire to nuns in full habits zipping by on scooters. Often times, tourists ignore Taipei in favor of larger and more well-known cities such as Shanghai, Tokyo or Hong Kong, but Taipei is a fascinating city that should not be missed.
