During our week in Taiwan, we didn’t visit or even travel through all 12 of Taipei’s administrative districts, but I did get the impression that while many districts share similar characteristics and industries, several boast fairly distinctive qualities.
For example, parts of Xinyi District look like anywhere else in the city…

…while some areas pay homage to Taiwanese history as the modern era looms nearby…
