Book Description
It’s summertime, and life in Taipei is both easy and breezy. Let’s take a tour of some of the fun things you can get up to, during the day and in the evening, indoors and outdoors. In one of our three Cover Story articles, we’re your guide to places of play after dark in eastern Taipei’s Songshan and Nangang districts – where to “party it up, watch a live performance, or just relax by the river.” In another article, enjoy a primer on the panoramic cityscape views and gourmet dining served up on the popular double-decker Taipei Sightseeing Bus and Taipei Restaurant Bus. And in the third article, it’s a night at the edutainment hotspot TaipeiEYE, which provides visitors with rich and intimate sampler showcases of Taiwanese and Peking opera. In our A Day in Taipei segment, we present two “urban walks” outings. One destination is the cosmopolitan Minsheng Community, a leafy street neighborhood in the downtown core percolating with iconoclastic owner-operated shops, cafés, and eateries. The other is the natural environment of Neihu District, tucked up against and up into the mountains in the Taipei Basin’s northeast corner, a place of sizeable lakes, pleasant mountain trails, and a colorful harvest of attractions. The feasting on the taste of natural beauties continues in our Out in Nature offerings. The Maokong area, best known for tea farms, teahouses, and tea cuisines, and now for scenic-view cafés as well, is a prime locale for hiking enthusiasts, laced with high-quality trails. Next, you’ll meet the photogenic Taipei Tree Frog and Bamboo Pit Viper on local nighttime nature photography. Rounding out this issue’s selection of experience possibilities, in DIY Fun join CookInn Taiwan’s enjoyable cooking classes, available in dierent languages, preparing Taiwanese food and drink classics; in Fine Food savor quintessential Taipei summer cuisine, from fruit-tea drinks to shaved-ice treats to – despite the rising temperatures – piping-hot stir fries; and in Where to... learn about the excitingly diverse range of facilities at the many modern city-run sports centers. The Taipei of summer serves up endless delights – let the TAIPEI Summer 2024 issue be your take-along guide!

A Culinary History of Taipei
Author: Steven Crook
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538101386
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
There is a compelling story behind Taiwan’s recent emergence as a food destination of international significance. A Culinary History of Taipei is the first comprehensive English-language examination of what Taiwan’s people eat and why they eat those foods, as well as the role and perception of particular foods. Distinctive culinary traditions have not merely survived the travails of recent centuries, but grown more complex and enticing. Taipei is a city where people still buy fresh produce almost every morning of the year; where weddings are celebrated with streetside bando banquets; and where baristas craft cups of world-class coffee. Wherever there are chopsticks, there is curiosity and adventurousness regarding food. Like every great city, Taipei is the sum of its people: Hard-working and talented, for sure, but also eager to enjoy every bite they take. Drawing on in-depth interviews with the leading lights of Taiwan’s food scene, meticulously sifted English- and Chinese-language materials published in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and rich personal experience, the authors have assembled a unique book about a place that has added all kinds of outside influences to its own robust, if little understood, foundations.

Taipei
Author: Tao Lin
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307950174
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
The basis for the movie High Resolution From one of this generation's most talked about and enigmatic writers comes a deeply personal, powerful, and moving novel about family, relationships, accelerating drug use, and the lingering possibility of death. Taipei by Tao Lin is an ode--or lament--to the way we live now. Following Paul from New York, where he comically navigates Manhattan's art and literary scenes, to Taipei, Taiwan, where he confronts his family's roots, we see one relationship fail, while another is born on the internet and blooms into an unexpected wedding in Las Vegas. Along the way—whether on all night drives up the East Coast, shoplifting excursions in the South, book readings on the West Coast, or ill advised grocery runs in Ohio—movies are made with laptop cameras, massive amounts of drugs are ingested, and two young lovers come to learn what it means to share themselves completely. The result is a suspenseful meditation on memory, love, and what it means to be alive, young, and on the fringe in America, or anywhere else for that matter.
