My first real weekend in 台北 (Taipei) where we went to Taipei 101, currently the world's largest skyscraper, and 淡水 (Dàn Shuǐ). Dàn Shuǐ is a somewhat touristy place in the North West of Taipei but despite the masses of people it's very beautiful and the food on the nightmarket is amazing as always in Taiwan.
