Feel the rush of Taipei during this excellent adventure that begins with a narrated drive through Taiwan's countryside. In the distance, spy the splendid Grand Hotel, an imperial establishment designed with classic Chinese architecture in mind. In Taipei, listen as your guide points out amazing sights, including the ornate Presidential Building where the president holds office. Visit Lungshan Temple, a serene Ching dynasty landmark featuring elaborate wooden doors, stone and bronze beams and dragon poles. In Liberty Park, explore Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, a regal monument honoring the former president, which wows with its glossy blue-tile roof and serene, white marble. Shop for souvenirs at Taipei Handicraft Center, a lively market featuring over 40,000 handmade items, including porcelain, wood carving, art and jewelry. Snap photos of Taipei 101, one of the world's tallest skyscrapers, which seamlessly marries modern and traditional design elements. Afterward, enjoy a picturesque drive back to Keelung.
