Loving Taipei The Local Travel Guide To Taipei Taiwan

Taipei is an undiscovered gem. It's full of smelly night markets, only-in-Taiwan foods, Instagrammable experiences (ever been shrimp fishing?), and tons of fun for any traveler — but that's not what you'll find in the standard tourist guidebooks or on the standard Taipei tourist trail. Don't get stuck at Snake Alley and Din Tai Fung. Forget the guides written by AI bots or foreign visitors. Loving Taipei brings you in-depth on-the-ground Taipei knowledge only a Taipei local can deliver. Loving Taipei, like Taipei itself, is brimming with off-the-beaten-track treasures, street smarts, wacky local trivia, and lots of stinky tofu. Cindy Liu is a Taipei native and the city's biggest fan. She brings you her expertise and insider info so you can also fall in love with Taipei, hard.
