Any must see places in Taiwan?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

There is a fair amount of nice temples and stuff to see there. Get a guidebook somewhere. Taiwan is one of the better places out there apparently

I thought it was very grey and dull, like Belgium, which surprised me.

I would recommend this temple.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

The east coast of Taiwan is very beautiful. Take a trip to Hualien and from there visit Taroko National Park.

In Taipei, visit one or more of the night markets. They are buzzing and have plenty of people and great food. Just Google night markets Taipei.

Taipei has a great subway system (MRT) and at many stations they have bicycles to continue your journey. Nice parks and great food all over the city.

Also in Taipei, the National Palace Museum is perhaps the largest museum of Chinese art and cultural artifacts on the planet. From there you could continue to Yangmingshan National Park.

Visit Taipei 101. For a while it was the earth’s tallest building. It features dampers and a huge pendulum to withstand earthquakes.

Take the fast train south to Kaoshung (not spelled like that!) for spotless, sleepy beaches and rugged coastlines. Beautiful scenery, best enjoyed on a bicycle.

Thanks for all the recommendations. Some can be seen in a few days, other might take a month or more to take it all in.
