Westin Taipei, Taiwan - December 2014

During my trip to Taipei, I stayed in the Westin Taipei as well, as the rates were lower compared to W Taipei.

Sometimes it is hard to leave the nice room to explore the city and this is one way I 'force' myself to vacate the room by switching hotels.

The Chinese name of the hotel is 六福皇宮 which roughly translates to "Imperial Palace of Six Blessings".

W Taipei, Taiwan - December 2014

Taiwan is well known for its New Year Countdown with fireworks from Taipei 101.

This was my first trip to Taiwan and the main purpose was to watch the fore-mentioned fireworks.
