03 VISIT FIT
How to fit it into a city day
Taipei 101 works best as a deliberate 75–120 min stop, not a pin squeezed between distant neighborhoods. Treat it as a skyscraper visit for travelers interested in skyline · engineering · rainy days. Keep the rest of that Taipei half-day geographically close so the visit has enough time to develop.
