About Taipei time
Taipei keeps one clock.
Taipei moves at just the right pace—nestled in a moderate subtropical climate on the island of Taiwan, where the morning sun rolls in bright and clear but business buzz tends to pick up a bit later, settling into a smooth, rhythmic workday even if you're syncing with teammates in Europe or North America.
