Sulphur fumes spewing from the grounds of Xiaoyoukeng 小油坑, one part of the Yangmingshan mountain range surrounding Taipei.


At the summit of Mount Cising 七星山 – I couldn’t leave Taipei without doing any hiking.


At the Mount Cising bus stop, Buddhist sayings are placed at the bus sign posts for people to reflect on. This one says happiness and good fortune are things that you have to create for yourself and not just hope for.


I like that Taipei’s subway has these protective measures for women.


The famous Taipei 101. I had intended to go up to the observation deck but the place was filled with mainland Chinese tourists and I decided that I wouldn’t bother queueing.


An artist decorating an electrical box along the streets of Taipei. I like how the city is making efforts to bring some colour to the place with these little touches. I think art definitely has a place in making the world a better place.


Quirky wall art along the Po Pi Liao historical street (剝皮寮).


Po Pi Liao street is one of the oldest streets in Taipei and is definitely worth a visit. There are exhibits there explaining the history of the area. The film Monga 艋舺 was set in this area back in the 1980s where many triads ruled the area.


A woman selling sweet snacks that are made from steamed glutinous flour mixture filled with different types of filling like red bean paste and yam paste.
