Taipei is a modern city, open to foreigners, with a healthy entrepreneurial community. Taiwan’s Capital City has become an attractive location for location independent business owners and slow-paced travelers looking for a great local expat vibe, unlike any other Asian city. This is Taipei, the largest city on the island with nearly 7 million people in the metropolitan area. Massive night markets, traditional neighborhoods, and old ladies pushing street carts are nestled snugly beside 21st-century skyscrapers and mega malls.
