      Highly recommend it! The old-looking streets are full of hidden gem boutiques that will catch your eye, and it never feels repetitive or dull.

        I haven't been, but I've heard that the overall quality of the people (civility/manners) is better than in mainland China. However, the urban infrastructure is probably like a third-tier city on the mainland, or second-tier at most.

          The hallmark of Taipei is its old architecture, but if you get a chance to visit a Taiwanese friend's home, you'll often discover that many old-looking exteriors hide incredibly luxurious interiors! 🤣

            Taiwan has a fairly mature civil society, with a lot of NGOs.

              What does NGO stand for?

                The first time I gained such a deep understanding of Taiwan, the 'Treasure Island,' was because of a child named Kai Kai.

                  Such an adorable child, abused by a nanny for four months and passed away. It's been over a year, and there's still no resolution. The child was only one year and ten months old when he left us.

                    Taiwanese people indeed tend to be more considerate; they generally don't smoke indiscriminately, spit, or make loud noises in public. It's pretty good.

                      Smoking is prohibited indoors in public places.
