During the holiday season, you may want to get away from your regular life. So you might want to explore Taipei to see their splendid temples and natural beauty. You can have a completely different experience from what you would typically see in the states, so it earned the title of “escape destination.” There are some tips on what you and your family can do for entertainment; find out the list of 50 activities by Nick Kembel.
While Christmas isn’t designated a public holiday in Taipei, there are plenty of places where you can soak up the holiday spirit. There is a “Christmasland” market, and you can find it if you visit the Banqiao train station. There is also a Mega-City Department Store where you can watch the Christmas tree light up and buy gifts for your family. If you want to experience traditional Western Christmas dishes, be sure to visit a chain of American hotels like the Grand Hyatt.
