Planners have taken full advantage of the ample space available to create comfortable room along streets for pedestrians and have designed green spaces aplenty, including long green corridors. As a quality bonus, even right in the core there’s an unusual amount of low-rises, and buildings tend to be a bit further back from the street than elsewhere in the city.

Perhaps unsurprisingly due to its dense variety of ecosystems and stark altitudinal variation, Taiwan is home to a large number of raptor species, many of which can be seen in and around the capital Taipei itself. On a crisp morning in November, Travel in Taiwan spoke to Tsai Die-hua, secretary general of the Raptor Research Group of Taiwan, about the wheres, whens, and hows of spotting these amazing birds in the city as well as the group's most recent conservation initiatives.
