DISCOVER TAIPEI Nov/Dec 2013 Vol.98
Taipei Nights – The Deeper, the More Beautiful
Here we go! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 … Happy New Year! At the climax of the upcoming New Year’s Eve, there will be no better place to be than watching the spectacle of the Taipei 101 Fireworks Show. Though the pyrotechnics extravaganza will have its moment and then go into slumber for another year, the city of Taipei never sleeps, and the colorful nightlife goes on without end, every night of the year.
Taipei city offers you a world of beauty in daytime, but the nighttime here is a world of fantasy. The customers of the famous hotel website Agoda.com have proclaimed Taipei 9th in a ranking of “top ten cities for nightlife.” Our theme this issue is “Taipei Nights – The Deeper, the More Beautiful,” and we bring you a taste of this city’s nights in the following pages.
Among the many other end-of-year highlights for those living in Taipei is the introduction of
more rental stations to the city’s YouBike network, bringing the total to 162 in Taipei’s 12 districts, and offering you a consummate tool for exploring the city.
The city’s largest cultural-creative platform, the eslite Spectrum Songyan Store, is now opened, which showcases over 100 local and international designer shops and studios. In our In-Depth City Culture Explorations section, we ask Master Weng Dengxian to show off his consummate skills in traditional candy blowing and making dough figurines, which thrill young and old alike.
The Taipei night offers the visitor countless charms, among them guabao, a popular street
food, and late-night eateries of unique character. Both offer guaranteed taste-bud satisfaction on a cool winter’s night. Elsewhere, savor the attractive scenery along the banks of the Tamsui River by taking a Blue Highway River Cruise Mini-trip, and move your body by joining the improvisation dance at i·dance Taipei 2013 or going rock climbing.
The Taipei cultural-arts scene is in a state of exuberant, sustained bloom, and a veritable
feast of related special events. It includes the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival’s 50th anniversary celebrations, “Across Zhongshan Bridge – The Story of Bridges” Exhibition, Popular Music Oral History Exhibition, and Sleepless in Taipei – The City that Never Closes Exhibition, will provide you with the perfect ending to the year 2013.
In Taipei, the city that never closes and never sleeps, a feast of the senses awaits you. Enjoy!
