Taiwan has so much to offer. Even the urban cities like Taipei and Taichung have their own beauty and uniqueness. Besides eating the delicious Taiwan street food and exploring tourist attractions, you can find some pleasant surprises in the busy streets of Taipei and Taichung if you slow down your pace and enjoy the urban life of Taiwan.
During my most recent visit to Taiwan in November 2017 to run Taiwan Rice Heaven Tianzhong Marathon, I also took the opportunity to explore Taipei and Taichung.
Even though the weather was overcast, drizzling and raining most of the time, I still managed to capture some urban shots to reflect the beautiful streets of Taiwan in the month of November.
Here are the 16 most instagrammable photos of urban streets in Taiwan that I managed to take with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge that I would like to share with you:
