Creator's Key Takeaways

We had an overnight stay in Kong, the gateway to Taipei.

Good news, no need to carry the original.

The biggest disappointment of my whole Asia cruise.

It's really, really excellent compliment to the ice cream and the peanut britter.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get an Easy Card for hassle-free public transport in Taipei.
βœ“Have cash ready, as many places only accept cash.
βœ“Hire a private driver for convenience, especially in hot weather.
βœ“Look for long lines of locals at the night market for good food.

Navigating Taipei without a tour β€” Taxis are plentiful, Uber is available, and public transport is efficient with an Easy Card.
