Taipei

I was on my way back from South Korea and made a point of scheduling a long enough layover in Taipei to go explore the city. Taiwan offers a free half-day tour to travelers with a long layover, and on September 22, 2024, mine went to Lungshan Temple, the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, and Yongkang Street. It was unfortunately a very rainy day. Two weeks earlier, on the way to Japan, I had a few hours at Taoyuan airport, outside the city, which was my first taste of Taiwan.
