Visit in Taipei for 9 weeks

I want to welcome everyone here, today I have found this forum and its really useful.
I’m going to work as a intern in Taipei and right now I I am trying to find information about Taiwan.

I know that whole island is beautiful, but unfortunately I will have limited time and I can’t decide what should I see/ do during my stay in Taipei.
I’m really into whole culture and some sightseeing.

Should I focus more on northern part of Taiwan ??
Is southern part worth seeing too ?? I mean, i know that traveling is going to cost fortune but Tainan as cultural capital of Taiwan seems to be nice place to visit.

I’m really confused on this one.

I would appreciate your advice/opinions on this one

Tainan is definitely worth a visit. And travel doesn’t have to cost a fortune: there are good bus and train services that are quite economical, and inexpensive lodging in downtown Tainan.

That’s rather too long a topic for one thread. You can get a good idea by reading through the posts in this forum.

You should also get a guidebook. The Lonely Planet and Bradt guides are both good; and their authors frequent this site.

Oh, and not all of Taiwan is beautiful – especially the west coast and the cities. But plenty of it is.

And, yes, do go to Tainan. For someone interested in culture, a trip to Taiwan without seeing Tainan would be incomplete.

I stay in Guishan Taoyuan right now I realized how far it is from Taipei…damn
