Taiwan

Taiwan fits a 3,900-metre mountain range, a marble gorge, hot spring towns and some of Asia's best street food onto an island you can circle by train in a day. Night markets are the default way to eat, and public transport is cheap and reliable. Typhoon season shapes summer travel on the east coast.

Cities

Taipei

Taipei sits in a basin ringed by green hills, with a metro that reaches hot springs, temples and trailheads inside the city. Night markets run every evening and are where most people eat. Three days covers the museums, one mountain walk and two or three markets.
