I'm in Taipei, Taiwan for a conference in a few weeks time (October), it'll finish on the Thursday evening when my girlfriend will join me. So we have from Thursday evening in Taipei to the afternoon on Sunday. i know nothing about Taiwan, but have heard that it is beautiful. Any suggestions for a relaxing and relatively peaceful few days to recharge the batteries? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Taiwan for the weekend

Hello, Vietnam
Hi Simon, what did you end up doing? We are going for work in June and it's very hard to get advice in English! I did read about a hot springs resort just outside Taipei in Wulai called Volando Urai Spring Resort, so if you know about this or have any other suggestions, please let me know!
JToronto - suggest you get a copy of the Lonely Planet guidebook. It includes several day trips from Taipei. If you have time, you really should go to Taroko Gorge, which is lovely. And if you have more time, try to get to Tainan - the temples are stunning.
