I highly recommend not going to the Shilin market, though, if youre hitting the markets, its overpriced and overcrowded. Ask around a bit and you can find some much better shopping.

And give Yangminshan a hike, its a fun hike, there's even a really nice waterfall/relaxing pool I can give you directions to, though its a bit of a hike outta TianMu.

Though I disagree about the New York thing... Having lived in both Honk Kong and Beijing previously, I would say that Taipei is like the halfway point... the size and scale of Beijing, but the westernization and smaller feel of HK.
