It continued as the capital of Korea during the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire. The Seoul National Capital Area is home to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Changdeokgung, Hwaseong Fortress, Jongmyo Shrine and the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty.[7] Seoul is the world's greenest major city, with over 27% of the city dedicated to public parks such as Namsan Park, home to the N Seoul Tower, the tallest tower in Korea.[8] Today, Seoul is considered to be a leading global city, ranking among the top ten in the Global Cities Index of 2010 and seventh in the Global Power City Index of 2011.

Taipei City (Chinese: 臺北市 or 台北市 pinyin: Táiběi Shì)[1] is the capital of Taiwan and the central city of the largest metropolitan area of Taiwan island. Situated at the northern tip of the island, Taipei is located on the Tamsui River, and is about 25 km southwest of Keelung, its port on the Pacific Ocean. Another coastal city, Tamsui, is about 20 km northwest at the river's mouth on the Taiwan Strait. It lies in the two relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung (基隆河) and Xindian (新店溪) rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.[2] The city proper (Taipei City) is home to an estimated 2,618,772 people.[3] Taipei, New Taipei, and Keelung together form the Taipei metropolitan area with a population of 6,900,273.[4] However, they are administered under different local governing bodies. "Taipei" sometimes refers to the whole metropolitan area, while "Taipei City" refers to the city proper. Taipei City proper is surrounded on all sides by New Taipei. Taipei is the political, economic, and cultural center of Taiwan. The National Palace Museum which has one of the largest collections of Chinese artifacts and artworks in the world is located in Taipei. Considered to be a global city,[5] Taipei is part of a major industrial area. Railways, high speed rail, highways, airports, and bus lines connect Taipei with all parts of the island. The city is served by two airports -- Taipei Songshan and Taiwan Taoyuan. Taipei was founded in the early 18th century and became an important center for overseas trade in the 19th century. The Qing Dynasty in China made Taipei the provincial capital of Taiwan in 1886.[6] When the Japanese acquired Taiwan in 1895 after the First Sino-Japanese War, they retained Taipei as the capital of the island, and also advanced an extensive urban planning in Taipei.[7] The Republic of China took over the island in 1945 following Japanese surrender. After losing Mainland China to the Chinese Communist Party in the Chinese Civil War, the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) resettled the ROC government to Taiwan and declared Taipei the provisional capital of the Republic of China in December 1949.[8][9] #Taiwan #Taipei #Travel #Blockchain #ChiangKaiShek #101 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYmRbgxPab8
