Taipei

Taipei is one of the friendliest cities in Asia for families with young children, and the combination of an excellent metro, night markets designed for grazing, and Din Tai Fung's near-flawless soup dumplings makes the daily rhythm easy from the first day. Taipei 101's 88th-floor observation deck still impresses, but the Maokong Gondola, a cable car that climbs over the Taipei foothills to traditional tea plantations, is the kind of afternoon that sticks. FamiVentura covers Taipei with guides to its activities, standout food, and day trips along the northern coast and into the countryside.
