台北獲選 2019 全球最佳大城市第九名
由 60 萬人票選，東京奪得第一！
日前，由《CondéNast Traveler》公布全球最佳城市票選結果，第一名由東京奪得，其次則為京都、新加玻等亞洲大城。據了解，該項活動（The Best Cities in the World: 2019 Readers’ Choice Awards）今年已達第 32 屆，每年定期舉辦，而今年總計湧入 60 萬名讀者共同參與。直得一提的是 —— 台北首次獲選並列入十大城市名單，排名第九。以下為《CondéNast Traveler》原文介紹：
Taipei is a city with a rich history, though at 300 years young it’s a relative newcomer compared to its neighbors in the East. Visit one of the city’s many temples to find deities of Buddhist, Taoist, and Chinese folk religions, and capitalize on your jet lag with a visit to one of Taipei’s many night markets. For a respite from the city, check in to Villa 32, a five-room mountainside spa built adjacent to a hot spring, a half-hour north of downtown by car. Taipei is well-connected to the rest of Taiwan through the high speed rail that runs the length of the island—look out for the Hello Kitty–themed train, which relaunched earlier this year.
不難發現，《CondéNast Traveler》認為台北多元的宗教信仰和廟宇文化乃特色所在，其他包含溫泉、夜市也是此地之所以迷人之處。至於日本除了東京、京都之外，大阪亦排名第五，使日本成為此次票選的大贏家。
