Sightseeing can be really fun here.  Here are some of the best places to visit in Taiwan.</p>
<p>Taipei<br />
This is the capital of Taiwan. You must visit this place when you are on a tour to Taiwan. This &#8220;Taipei Basin&#8221; was occupied by an Aboriginal tribe known as the Ketagelan. Later on, Taipei was regarded as an imperative port for the tea trading for Han Chinese.<br />
The Taipei 101 is the tallest skyscraper in the whole world. The building possesses about 106 floors. Five of these are underground. Taiwan is vulnerable to natural calamities such as typhoons and earthquakes. The Taipei 101 is designed to survive both of them.<br />
Other Taiwan tourist attractions include the following:<br />
•	The Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall<br />
•	Sun Moon Lake.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="padding-right: 10px;" src="http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/3848/75780876.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="120" align="left" />Ever since 1782, a city began to develop across River Chao Phraya. King Rama – I, had already shaped its eastern banks and it was destined to make waves. In about two and a quarter centuries, this city, named ‘City of Angels’ or ‘Bangkok’ in its local dialect had gathered about 1.1 crore people of diverse nationality. Majority of people are from China, Korea and India. Baht is the currency of Thailand. The city has is a well known and frequented tourist destination. Bangkok hotels are also known for their hospitality and the rich taste of tradition and eloquence.</p>
<p>Bangkok is divided into 50 districts ad 154 sub-districts. You may reach here through two airports, Suvarnarekha being the main one. Else, you may also try out Inter state bus terminal at the south or central city. Ship is also preferred by some people who come from outside Thailand.</p>
<p>While inside, you can use Skytrain, boat, metro or canal boats for conveyance purpose. Thus, families who come here for absolute enjoyment and holidaying know that they are not going to be short of moving options. You can book limousines for rent and travel in luxury. For cheaper options, you can book car rental services. These allow sincere discounts if it comes as a vacation package part.</p>
<p>You will especially enjoy traveling Bangko at three times: During Chinese New Years’ Festival, Trooping of the Colors and Royal Ploughing Ceremony. These take place at different times of the year ad each has ethnic cultural heritage. You may also enjoy a trip round River Chao Phraya. Since the city has a few wonderful hikes and trails, a bicycle tour of the city won’t hurt you. Elephant rides also enamor you. After all, Thailand has ever been the land of White Elephants.</p>
<p>You can shop to your hearts’ content at Siam Paragon, MBK or Patpong Night Market. You will get a consortium of accessories, clothesline and electronic equipment. For eating purposes, you can dip your bellies in renowned soups called Tom Yum Goong. If you have a sweet tooth, dig into Kanom Roti. Specially prepared Café Tung is an excellent beverage. Thai cooks are anyways quite experimenting with cuisines and food.</p>
<p>You may book gentle places for your family while enjoying vacations onboard Manohra or Yor Yok Marina. They serve excellent seafood. Once you have got the hang of Bangkok on your limousine, it is time to move out somewhat. Ayutthaya is a must for religiously inclined people and seat of Lord Indra. For sea-loving people, Hua Him is not a beach resort to miss out on.</p>

Steeped in a rich cultural heritage, Taiwan looks like it has remained untouched by the frenzied onslaught of industrialization. Speckled with ancient temples and historical sites, Taiwan is a dream destination for connoisseurs of art and architecture.</p>
<p>Those spiritually inclined can spend some time at the Fo Guang Shan monastery in Taiwan. The serenity of the place also reflects on the faces of the monks who spent most of their time meditating. You too can take a class on meditation by one of the masters there and feel a sense of calm that evades us in our day to day lives.  A visit to the tranquil Confucius Temple in Taiwan is also a must if you are inspired by his ideals of humanity and fidelity.</p>
