Taipei has become East Asia's most livable nomad base, with remote workers clustering in Da'an for cafe culture and MRT access, Zhongshan for boutique coworking, and Xinyi for its skyline and corporate energy. The city pairs some of Asia's lowest crime rates with a spotless, punctual metro system and a night-market food scene that makes eating out cheaper than cooking at home.
