Taipei days: trains, markets and marine wonders

During our days in Taipei we rode sleek trains from the airport, wandered lively markets and took the kids to the X‑Park aquarium where they marvelled at jellyfish and giant rays. The cosmopolitan energy and friendly locals made the city a welcoming stop on our journey.
