Weather: Winter starts from December, but weather is generally mild, with average low and high temperatures of 13 °C (55 °F) and 18 °C (64 °F), and damp with occasional showers.

Clothing: There is a big difference in temperature between day and night. During day time a long-sleeve shirt is adequate, but in early morning and evening a coat is needed, sometimes also a sweater. If you visit mountainous areas, a sweater and a water-proof coat is recommended.

Hello. We are going taipei from 23 dec to 27 dec. Do you have any recommendation on where to go in Taiwan in the morning? As we would be arriving in Taipei in early morning and when would be departing in the afternoon. Most shops open in the afternoon.I saw your recommendation to celebrate xmas:新光三越. Any other recommended place?Thank you in advance!

Hi Janice,

Thanks for visiting our website and your interest in our service, my name is Cecilia, I am a trip advisor at China Highlights. Here I am glad to recommend some popular sites in Taipei for you:

NationalPalace Museum: It has a permanent collection of over 650,000 pieces of ancient Chinese artifacts and artworks, one of the largest in the world. Most the treasures come from the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Taipei101: Taipei International Financial Centre 101, it is the world's tallest building. It holds the world record for height and also holds the record for the world's fastest elevator.

TaipeiStory House: It was built in 1914 by an aristocratic tea trader. Its style was said to have been inspired by a building he saw while visiting the 1900 Paris Expo. Today the house is an exhibition space for Taipei nostalgia and history. Exhibits change frequently and might include goodies such as toys, matchboxes and comic books.

2-28 Memorial Museum: Located in the 2-28 park, it offers an explanation of the events of 28 February 1947 massacre and of the repercussions that followed. Acknowledgment of the 2-28 incident was a pivotal part of Taiwan's transformation from dictatorship to democracy.

China Highlights is a tour company offer kinds of tour service, would you like us to make a Taipei tour for you? If so, please feel free to contact me at Cecilia@chinahighlights.net by telling me the number of people in you group and when you will take it.
