Taoyuan International Airport




You can find lots of interesting gifts at the airport.

Example:
Taiwan Pineapple Cakes
Green Tea

More Streets View of Taipei





On the 2nd evening, managed to sneak out of the hotel and took more street photos.
It's quite easy to get lost for a first-timer in Taipei.
Not to take any chances, I took hotel's map to navigate around the streets in between the buildings that look like a maze to me.
The sky turned dark quite early at around 430pm.
The streets will be totally dark by 7pm ad won't be safe to travel alone.
The road signs are in Chinese so its better also to memorise the landmarks .

View from hotel balcony



Photos captured from the hotel's balcony, ~ early morning 830am.

Notice the temperature reading on top of building is a cool 13 deg celsius!
