Make your way to Taiwan's capital, Taipei, where you will be met by a driver and transferred to your hotel. Taipei is a laid-back and vibrant city that, as well as being packed with the upmarket and ultramodern, is a bastion of Taiwan's wonderfully rich heritage. Its beauty lies in its blend of Chinese culture with a curious fusion of Japanese and Southeast Asian influences. The rest of your day is at leisure. Early check-in is not included.

This morning you will be met at your Taipei hotel to commence your full-day tour. Start with a visit to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, a monument dedicated to the former leader. Next, ascend to the observation deck at Taipei 101 for a birds-eye view over this sprawling city. Later, explore Longshan Temple and then Dihua Street known for its many Chinese medicine shops. Finish the day at the National Palace Museum to admire the Chinese imperial collections before returning to your hotel.

Enjoy the day at leisure to explore the many sights and sounds of Taipei. During the day, consider taking the scenic Pingxi railway line, known for its quaint old towns such as Shifen and Pingxi, where you can explore traditional streets and experience a slower pace of local life. In the evening, consider visiting one of the city's vibrant night markets to sample popular local delicacies such as black pepper buns and soup dumplings.

Your day is at leisure until the time comes to transfer to the airport for your onward flight. Late check-out is not included.
