 The
life
of
any
region
arises
out
of
its
historical
past,
its
remembrance
of
culture,
and
its
hold
on
the
future.
The
Taipei
County
government
has
established
museums
of
tea
culture,
pottery
and
ceramics,
and
other
sites
to
help
preserve
the
memory
of
the
common
history
and
culture.
Taipei
County
is
rich
in
cultural
resources. |
|
|
|
It's
a
major
cultural
county
that
hosts
a
rich
variety
of
cultural
activities.
Come!
Join
us
as
we
trace
our
cultural
roots.The
confluence
of
the
Tamshui,
Hsintien
and
Keelung
Rivers
gave
rise
to
Taipei
County,
which
expanded
gradually
inland
from
the
smallish
river
mouth
to
achieve
its
present
scope.
The
meeting
ground
of
the
rivers
stretches
away
in a
scene
of
grandeur
as
the
seashore,
its
terrain
carved
out
by
the
hand
of
time,
faces
off
with
the
low
mountains
standing
peacefully
in
the
distance
of
Taipei
County. |

Taipei
City |
|
Taipei
is
Taiwan's
largest
city
as
well
as
its
economic,
political,
and
cultural
center.
It
is a
modern
cosmopolitan
metropolis
with
a
lively
and
diversified
face,
filled
with
exuberance.
Its
buildings
provide
much
of
the
diversity,
and
visitors
who
are
fond
of
historic
sites
and
old
streets
will
not
want
to
miss
the
work
of
traditional
master
builders
evident
on
Dihua
Street
in
the
Dadaocheng
area
or
the
Longshan
Temple
in
the
Wanhus
district,
as
well
as
other
places.
The
internationally
renowned
National
Palace
Museum
has
an
inexhaustible
collection
of
precious
historical
Chinese
arts
and
artifacts
that
no
visitor
can
afford
to
miss;
Taipei
is
also
home
to
many
other
fine
museums,
including
the
Taipei
Fine
Arts
Museum,

Museum.
On
the
city's
outskirts,
the
Yangmingshan
National
Park
has
unique
volcanic
terrain,
a
rich
variety
of
forest
vegetation,
and
an
extensive
network
of
hiking
trails,
making
it a
popular
destination
for
visitors
from
the
Taipei
area
and
elsewhere.
Yangmingshan
is
one
of
the
places
in
the
Taipei
area
where
you
can
indulge
yourself
in a
hot
mineral
bath;
for
the
pleasure
of
relieving
the
exhaustion
of a
day's
travels,
you
can
also
go
to
the
hot
springs
of
Beitou
or
Wulai.
Taipei
also
has
the
largest
zoo
in
Taiwan,
where
you
can
see
the
rare
Formosan
black
bear,
cuddly
koalas,
and
stately
king
penguins.
The
city's
comprehensive
rapid
transit
system
takes
you
quickly
to
the
zoo
or
just
about
anyplace
you
might
want
to
go
in
the
metropolitan
area.
