Terrific Taiwan
Taipei, Taoyuan City, Keelung
Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. Capital: Taipei The moment I knew that Filipinos may enter Taiwan with visa -free last 2019, I was in a high spirit to visit it right ahead, knowing that country is steeped in history and culture, it provides tourists with a very pleasant-tasting cuisine, a picturesque monuments, night markets, and humongous temples – all in a safe, cosmopolitan cityscape. Now, "LEMI"(let me) take you a glimpse of my Terrific Taiwan travel experience.

Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport is an international airport serving Taipei and northern Taiwan. Located about 40 km west of Taipei in Dayuan District, Taoyuan, the airport is Taiwan's largest and busiest airport. The airport is very clean and well maintained; prior to arriving at the Taoyuan International Airport, I booked my unlimited Wi-Fi router via Klooktravel for an affordable internet and stay connected while on travel, you claim it inside the airport, just look for Wi-Fi Rental Kiosk.

If you're a foody or a preppy type of person, trust me this place will never fail you, it opens at night, and is somewhere you buy things, it isn't what we mean by "Night Market" in Taiwan. This Taiwanese night market is a special experience of traditional food and social experience. This is also the heart of the city’s always-growing LGBT community, and most of the popular clubs and bars can be found here.

The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a famous national monument, landmark and tourist attraction erected in memory of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. It is located at Liberty Square in Zhongzheng District, Taipei. This picturesque landmark is a perfect spot for your instagrammable photos. The octagon-shaped white building rises 76 meters high and is topped off with blue tiles and red accents which are also the colors of the national flag. The building has a total area of 256 square meters. The eight sides are a nod to the belief that 8 is a very auspicious number.

According to my google research Shifen Old street was built to transport but now it became a popular tourist destination in Taiwan, it is far from Taipei City and since commuting is quite a hassle, me and a friend of mine opted to booked again via Klook for a money/time saving, we booked a half-day guided tour with sky Llantern experience, reserving a spot via this travel app is very efficient one, you can even book a schedule a day before your desired date. What to expect? -Explore the rich heritage and natural scenery of northern Taiwan and capture great memories. -Make your own sky lantern and write your wishes on it before launching it into the sky. -Experience the nostalgic ambience of Shifen Old Street and the refreshing feel of Shifen Waterfall. -Grab some local 'xiaochi' snacks (amust try) and souvenirs from the many restaurants and shops in town.
