Fare connects armchair travelers with immersive and nuanced stories from cities around the world, and also serves as a kind of roadmap for those who are ready to make the actual trip to see things for themselves.
Cradled by mountains and lush greenery, Taiwan's capital is a city of both comfort and convenience, where deep-laid roots blossom anew.
In Fare: Taipei –
- Follow author Aichu Hung through her memories of Dadaocheng, Taipei's oldest district and a treasure trove of traditional ingredients, Chinese medicine, and Japanese colonial architecture
- Journey to the lush green Yangmingshan National Park where tables piled high with mountain vegetables, warming soups, and local chicken dishes await hungry hikers
- Sit down for a drink at a "sober day bar" hidden in the streets of Zhongshan and chat with the owner, a young entrepreneur creating tea-based cocktails
- Hop on a Ubike and cycle the bridges and parks traversing Taipei's rivers with a local on his daily ride
