Anyone have good recommendations for Taiwan? I've been roped into a family trip to Taiwan, probably for a week in April. 5 Mandarin speaking adults. Looking to stay primarily around Taipei but will probably rent a car to get around. Suggestions for food, tea, shopping, musuems are all most welcomed.

For the first time ever, The Meat-Shaped Stone, a Qing Dynasty sculpture of Dongpo Rou (braised pork belly) is being exhibited in the United States. The sculpture is carved jasper, finished with wrinkles, dimples, and soy-sauced rind. The sculpture is part of the Emperors’ Treasures: Chinese Art From the National Palace Museum, Taipei currently on exhibit at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco (ends Sept. 18, 2016) The exhibit also includes a jadeite bok choy cabbage...but that's not quite as cool.
