New Taipei
New Taipei is Taiwan's largest municipality by both population and area, wrapping entirely around Taipei City in a ring that runs from riverside old streets to mountain trails and rugged coastline. Rather than one single downtown, it's a patchwork of distinct districts — from the golden-age mining town of Jiufen and lantern-lit Shifen to the historic port of Tamsui and the wind-sculpted rock formations at Yehliu.
