Taipei is the capital and largest city of Taiwan, home to approximately 2.6 million city residents and 7 million in the greater metro area. It operates on China Standard Time (CST, UTC+8) — the same abbreviation as mainland China but a separate political entity. Taiwan is the world's leading producer of advanced semiconductors — TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company), the world's most valuable chip manufacturer, is headquartered here. Without Taiwan's chips, most modern electronics — from iPhones to cars to military equipment — could not be made. Taipei 101, standing 508 meters tall, was the world's tallest building from 2004 to 2010 and is still one of the world's most recognizable skyscrapers. Taiwan's democracy is one of Asia's most vibrant, and the island has one of the world's highest rates of internet penetration, STEM graduates, and patent filings per capita. Taipei's night markets — Shilin, Raohe, Ningxia — are considered some of Asia's best street food experiences.
