Discover Taipei
The cultural kaleidoscope of Taiwan’s capital city
pulses wherever you go. Incense-veiled temples
dating back to dynastic times blend seamlessly
with the neon street life of a decidedly more
modern era. Taipei has dozens of world-class
restaurants, where gourmets can sample the
best regional Chinese cuisine; and for the
gourmand, there are plenty of night markets
serving up scrumptious evening snacks in an
environment of chaotic excitement and fun.
About ASTD:

Development) is the world’s largest association
dedicated to the training and development

The polarities of Taipei are vividly present as
well in the joining of the urban and natural. Just
a few minutes from the heart of the city you can
soak away the cares of the world in mineral-rich
hot springs nestled in the lush mountain foothills
ringing the Taipei Basin. And throughout the city
there are plenty of trails, parks, and other oases
of tranquility to lift and invigorate your spirits.
