Taipei Taoyuan Airport (TPE) Information

Where is Taipei Taoyuan Airport?  Taipei is a vibrant, safe and bustling city that is often overlooked. In Taipei, you'll find the world's second fastest elevators (in what was formerly the world's highest building, Taipei 101), night markets, parks, museums, temples and theme parks. Here you can learn about Buddhism, practice tai chi, visit the hot springs or go hiking nearby. 

Culturally, Taipei's downtown is divided into West (old Taipei, with narrow streets, small shops, roadside vendors) and East (with modern shopping, restaurants and tree-lined boulevards). Greater Taipei has an excellent metro (with English signage), efficient buses and lots of (mostly) honest taxis.

Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (IATA: TPE, ICAO: RCTP), also referred to as Taipei Taoyuan International Airport, or Taipei International Airport, is located in Dayuan Township, Taoyuan County, Taiwan. Until 2006, the airport was named Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (CKS).
