Hotels in New Taipei, Taiwan

New Taipei surrounds Taiwan's capital, boasting a subtropical climate with mild winters around 59°F (15°C) and hot, humid summers near 86°F (30°C). Famous for the old mountain town of Jiufen's narrow alleys and lantern-lit stalls, you can hike through the misty hills in winter or escape summer heat at Shifen Waterfall-a 40-meter cascade you can walk behind. The region divides into distinct areas: explore Tamsui's waterfront sunset views and night market seafood, then head east to Pingxi to launch a sky lantern from the railway tracks during spring's lighter rainfall, while winter tempts with hot springs in Wulai.
