Hi Huneybees,
Fancy a weekend getaway from work/life stress or planning the coming school holidays for your family or friends? Why not consider exploring Taiwan, New Taipei City to be more precise, for its nature, culture and hospitality?
There is no confusion between New Taipei City ( 新北市 ) and Taipei City ( 北市 ) - the capital city and already popular distinction for Singaporean - as both share the same municipality; rather
New Taipei City is the new name (since 2011) of the county surrounding the capital city. It's like Greater Manchester and Manchester City, London City and Greater London, etc...
Still confused?? Simply put it in Singapore context, its akin to a tourist visiting Orchard Road and Marina Bay ("Singapore City") and exploring Ang Mo Kio and Yishun ("Greater Singapore")!
To help you decide, Huney'Z World has came out with TOP 5 reasons why you should put New Taipei City on your next travel plan :
