“Dubai is becoming more
famous every day. Its
vitality, wealth and heritage
— all rolled into one — can’t
help but make curious
travelers wonder what is in
store there.”
“Flying sky lanterns, cherry
blossoms, pandas and
night markets —Taipei has
everything that would make
for an unforgettable travel
experience.”
Don’t miss the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al
Arab, Gold and Spice Souk (located in
the Old Town), Miracle Garden (Garden
of Flowers) and the Global Village.
Getting around town shouldn’t
be too difficult, as the metro and taxis
are relatively inexpensive.
Go to
Barasti Beach Bar (Le Méridien Mina
Seyahi Beach Resort and Marina, Al
Sufouh Road) for its Barasti beef burger
(AED85).
Most locals expect you to speak a little
of their language, so learn some useful
phrases during your trip. Say “
hsieh, hsieh
”
for “thank you”.
Eat some
xiao long bao
(soup dumpling) at Din Tai Fung in Taipei
101 and look for ice cream
popiah,
ice cream
wrapped in rice pastry with peanut butter
shavings.
Visit the bears, pandas and
koalas at Taipei Zoo, then ride the Maokong
Gondola during sunset.
