About Taipei
Taipei is the seat of Taiwan's government and its main business centre, set in a basin surrounded by mountains in the north of the island. It is known for the Taipei 101 tower, night markets, the National Palace Museum and an efficient metro system, and has close ties to the electronics and semiconductor industries.
Taiwan uses National Standard Time at UTC+8, with no daylight saving. Taipei therefore keeps the same time as Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore and Perth all year. It is one hour behind Tokyo and Seoul and eight hours ahead of London in winter, seven hours in British summer.
