Places to visit in Taipei

Hi,

For the ones living in Taipei, what would you suggest to discover the region?

When you have friends or family visiting you, where do you go with them? What are the must-see places in Taipei, the tourist sites?

How to visit the region in an original way? Any unusual or unknown place to recommend?

What would you suggest for a couple of days of for a week of holidays in Taipei?

Thank you in advance for participating ;)

Hey Julie! This is an old post, I see, but on my blogGood Day, Taipei I talk about tons of things you can do with visitor; including a MRT-friendly "36 Hours in Taipei!" Hopefully you can find some information that will help you plan for your visitors--I'm an ABC (American Born Chinese) that always has visitors coming in from America, so I know that pressure of having to host people around and make them love Taipei/Taiwan! But there are so many great places! Here are 2 posts to start you off:
