Underrated Taiwan is safer than you think and more delicious than you’ve imagined
Your first-time, best things to do in Taipei will show you how highly underrated Taiwan is as a travel destination, especially for families. We’re going to show you how we got the most out of our time in Taipei during our first visit, and how you can too.
Hint: It’s all about the delicious, affordable, everyday food.
Plus, while Taiwan has political and natural disaster considerations, this Asian island is safer than you think.
“Headlines can make you wonder about visiting Taipei. Is it completely without risk? Of course not. But during our own visit, the headlines might as well have been from another world. People got on with life. They enjoyed their city and culture. And so did we.”

Family and accessible travel: A quick note about our little family
Anthony, Jodie, Connor, and Aster St. Clair: We are the Learners and Makers, and we empower families and the mobility disability community to travel confidently, their way.
As a family of four, we travel with two kids (ages 10 and 13 at the time of this trip). Plus, Jodie is an above-knee amputee who uses a prosthetic leg for her walking mobility.
When we travel and make vacation plans, we consider not only what is a good mix of fun and safe for our kids. We take into account how well Jodie will be able to enjoy what we do, plus how a destination enables her to spend more time enjoying our family trip, and less time being concerned about the logistics of access.
For many individual attractions, we’ll note mobility tips from Jodie’s experience as an amputee using a prosthetic leg for her walking accessibility.
Safety and family friendliness in Taipei, Taiwan
We get it: Headlines can make you wonder about visiting Taipei. Is it completely without risk? Of course not. But during our own visit, the headlines might as well have been from another world. People got on with life. They enjoyed their city and culture. So did we.
Before we get to our tips, a quick confession: For a long time we considered visiting Taiwan, but safety concerns put us off.
Staying safe in Taiwan
On the one hand, Taiwan’s safety is considered on a similar level as Japan. Typically you have little to fear for your personal safety, beyond standard street smarts of situational awareness and minding of personal effects.
In Taiwan, that understanding matched our lived experience. Taipei’s friendliness and safety was in the air. From asking how we liked Taipei to even helping Jodie relay her bubble tea order, time and again we encountered friendly, caring people in Taipei who clearly watched out for others.
On the other hand.
Keeping broader news headlines and geopolitical concerns in context
Geopolitical concerns about Taiwan are a real thing. Beyond headlines though, they pretty much hang out in the background. While we have no doubt that folks in Taipei have their own broader concerns and probably discuss them regularly, we never encountered a sense of those concerns encroaching into day-to-day life.
As you plan your visit to Taipei and other parts of Taiwan, do you want to be informed about current geopolitical concerns or any changes? Of course.
Can you feel confident that Taiwan’s culture promotes harmony and a sense of personal safety? We think so, and we trust you’ll make the right decision for you and yours.
We chose to visit Taiwan, enjoyed a country where we felt safe, and are glad we finally went
For what it’s worth, planning our visit helped us gain a better understanding of Taiwan’s overall safety. We visited Taiwan with confidence for our and our children’s safety. In fact, during our two months in Taoyuan and Taipei, our biggest concern was coming down with colds for a few days.
Best things to do in Taipei
Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall and Liberty Square Arch
There is nothing like a park that makes you forget you are in the midst of one of the world’s great cities.
We suggest timing your visit to include the hourly changing of the guard at the bottom of the main staircase at the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial. For a serene wander, head to the walking paths and bridges among the ponds and waterways. The plaza with the performing arts buildings and the Liberty Square Arch are ideal family selfie spots.
This large, vehicle-free public square combines green park space, cultural icons, and symbols of Taiwan’s history.
We started our visit with the turtle-strewn ponds, arched bridges, and calm paths of Guanghua Lake, at Xinyi Road. This gave the kids a chance to move around a while, and the calm of the grounds made the city’s bustle fade into the background.
Nearby, the sprawling Liberty Square Plaza, including the National Theater, National Concert Hall, and Liberty Square Arch, combine Taiwan’s ideals, history, and culture in one area. The arch also makes an excellent background for family photos.
At the opposite end of Democracy Boulevard, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall commemorates one of Taiwan’s most enduring historical figures. The lower level also houses exhibits, restaurants, a gift shop, and a tea shop.
Dining
The basement level of the National Concert Hall includes cafes, dessert shops, and more. We found the Chun Shui Tang Zhongzheng Branch delicious for a slightly upscale dinner that was still family friendly.
Mobility tip
The paths near the lakes offer overall good access and are easy to navigate. The rest of the Liberty Square Plaza area has broad, paved paths. Attractions such as Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall can be accessed via stairs or elevator.
Changing of the guard at the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial
Throughout the day, on the hour, there’s also a public, free changing of the guard ceremony at the bottom of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall staircase facing Democracy Boulevard. It tends to attract a crowd, so focus on sticking together. The ceremony is meant to be a quiet, respectful time, inspiring reflection and appreciation.
Mobility tip
The changing of the guard ceremony happens at the bottom of the main staircase, so it’s accessible from the ground and the flat, wide, level pedestrian street.
Maokong Gondola
A long, peaceful ride up a clear-windowed gondola that shows you views of Taipei including Taipei 101 and the hills surrounding the city?
Yes please.
Get fresh air and a new vantage on the city and its countryside, yet still keep views of Taipei 101, all from the Maokong Gondola.
The serene ride up this ropeway took us uphill for a travel distance of 4 km, over about 30 minutes. Clear-bottom gondolas are available for extra cost, but they’re not essential. For us, any gondola did fine, and the view was just as amazing.
Bonuses
- Keep an eye out for iconic Zhinan Temple and Zhinan Temple Station. You can choose to hop off at the Zhinan Temple stop on the gondola route, have a wander, and get back on.
- Resident macaque monkeys live in the forests on the hills, and we saw monkeys throughout our ascent and descent.
- Up top, we enjoyed wandering the hilly lanes and stopping for tea and ice cream at local cafes. The lanes here are narrow and go through a village area; keep an eye out for vehicles, but otherwise relax and enjoy the fresh air outside of the city.
- The Camphor Tree Trail winds down, with some curves and steep sections, to a pond overlook with a covered viewpoint. The trail continues along the front of the hillsides to more vantages over Taipei and New Taipei.
- The station areas abound with refreshments, not to mention stalls where folks are selling fresh fruit, snacks, and more.
Mobility tip
Accessibility varies quite a bit in this area. The gondola stations had elevators, but you may need to discuss accessibility needs with gondola staff.
Up top outside Maokong Station, the paved roads are narrow and typically incline, since this is a village area on the hillside.
The steeper sections to and from the Camphor Tree Trail can be tricky to navigate, even though the trail itself is paved, mostly flat, and in good condition.
Panda Exhibit at Taipei Zoo
After riding the gondola back down from Maokong Station to Taipei Zoo Station, stretch your legs with a 600-meter walk to the Taipei Zoo.
Yes, the zoo has some cool exhibits, and we especially enjoyed the Australasian area with its marsupials, such as the Tasmanian devil.
However, if you’ve checked out your share of zoos and just want to see the pandas, it’s okay to head straight for the panda exhibit.
The Giant Panda House is a separate enclosure. Viewpoints have you queuing and making your way along a set path that shows you the full panda enclosure. The pandas might be sleeping, eating, or even eating and then sleeping. We got to see them when they were more active, especially as handlers brought in a fresh meal of bamboo.
Since the panda is so popular, zoo staff do focus on keeping people moving along. You’ll have time to ponder the pandas and get some snaps and videos, but staff will ask you to keep moving if you stop too long to gaze or take photos or videos.
Mobility tip
Zoo map signs can help you optimize your path to save energy or seek out the right routes for what you want to experience.
Main paths are broad and paved, and some exhibits have narrower access. There are inclines in some areas, and you can find zoo staff and ask about routes that work better for your mobility.
Taipei 101
Once the world’s tallest skyscraper, Taipei 101 was one of our favorite sights throughout our weeks in Taipei. We could see it from our balcony, our walking and bus routes often took us right by it, and we could hardly wait to go up to the top and check it out from the inside.
Along with the 5th-floor ticket area, 89th-floor main observation deck, and 101st-floor smaller, quieter tippy-top deck, don’t rush through the lobby—and plan your meals around the basement food court.
When you first look at Taipei 101, you might notice a resemblance between the iconic skyscraper and a stack of American-style Chinese takeout boxes. The takeout design is based on a traditional money box, for storing currency, and that same design was incorporated into a building that today houses the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
Taipei 101’s glory isn’t just for daytime skyline viewing either. We loved gazing at the tower at night. Each night, the top lights are a different color. Plus, from around 6-10 pm, the building gleams with an on-the-hour light show.
Purchase Taipei 101 tickets online, or where to go to get them in person
Buying tickets online in advance can save you lots of time. We purchased in advance, locking in our time and making it easier to make sure we didn’t get turned away on the day.
At the 5th-floor ticket area, instead of waiting in ticket lines, you’ll go to a separate window for online checkin.
The 89th floor is the main observation area. It has the selfie spots, gift shop, cafes, and access to the central area where you can see the giant damper that helps Taipei 101 survive high winds and seismic shaking.
Optional but not required 101st floor
The 101st floor is optional. We enjoyed it, and it’s really cool to head to the tippy-top publicly accessible area. If it doesn’t work out for you, you want to save the money, or it’s just not available, it’s not a huge loss.
Your priority is the 89th-floor main observation area. Anything else is gravy.
Free Taipei 101 stamp
Also on the 89th floor, keep an eye out for the free Taipei 101 souvenir stamp. Bring along a stamp book or some handy paper so you can snag this easy keepsake.
Skip the observation deck cafes and find refreshment in the basement food court instead
For refreshment, we skipped the observation deck cafes. We found more variety and value in the basement food court… not to mention Din Tai Fung’s Taipei 101 location.
Plus, dining in the food court made for great people watching. Connor and I wound up sitting at a table with two women from outside Tokyo. They were gracious enough to hear us out as we practiced our fledgling Japanese, and they in turn thanked us for an opportunity to practice their English.
Mobility tip
Take the lobby elevator to the 5th floor for the ticket area and the entry line for the 89th-floor elevator. You can discuss mobility needs with ticket staff.
The 89th-floor itself is broad and airy, and you can move around pretty freely depending on crowds.
All sides of the observation area have selfie spots, viewing highlights, and other features, so from any part of the building you can find good vantages and great spots for keepsake photos.
Purchase Taipei 101 tickets
Bonuses
Taipei 101 makes a convenient landmark and epicenter for the many amenities in the surrounding blocks:
- Right across from Taipei 101, take younger kids to Jimmy’s Moon Bus, and leave some time in case they want to linger with art and books. (Don’t worry, it’s easy to spot.)
- Apple Store: A couple of blocks away is Taipei’s official Apple Store location. (We actually had to go here to get Connor a new phone when his old one died.) Also fun? When looking down from Taipei 101, the Apple Store’s roof was designed to resemble the top of a closed MacBook Pro.
- Xiangshan Park and Playground: A large playground near basketball courts, restrooms, and walking paths popular with locals and visitors, this park makes an excellent stop for relaxing or getting some movement in for the kids. The south end of the park is near coffee shops, convenience stores, and restaurants. The northern end houses the Xiangshan Station, for convenient buses and trains.
Take a cooking class
With so much delicious food and centuries of culinary culture, Taipei is an excellent place not only to enjoy good eats, but to learn how to make them. We chose a beef noodle soup and soup dumpling class from CookInn Taiwan, and spent a lovely morning working together to craft 4 Taiwanese dishes.
Find out more about our experience with our Taipei cooking class here
Ximending Shopping District (and if visiting around Lunar New Year, the Lantern Festival)
We started our walk around Ximending at the Red House. If you are looking for a place to get artisan local souvenirs, this is a fantastic spot to stop.
Amidst billboards, concrete, steel, and glass, the Red House’s octagonal, red-brick structure from 1908 is easy to spot and makes a good starting point. Originally housing Taiwan’s first public market, today the Red House combines historical exhibits with local crafts and cafes. The kids also enjoyed some free romping in the plaza—along with brownies from a neighboring coffee shop.
Must-stops for us included Xing Fu Tang Bubble Tea, Taipei Tianhou Temple, and the street art along America Street.
The Red House became a starting and end point for us. From here, we wandered and people-watched the Ximending district’s pedestrian streets. Since we were in Taipei for the Lunar New Year season, the popular area was even busier than usual, but still manageable. Along with shops full of everything from clothing to souvenir knickknacks, we also nibbled on various dumplings and snacks, along with bubble tea.
In the evening, we returned to the Red House area to start our wandering through the Lantern Festival.
If you happen to be visiting around Lunar New Year, make a special trip for the lanterns in the Taipei Lantern Festival. This integral part of the Lunar New Year season showcases hundreds of lanterns, some made by corporate or destination sponsors (such as one showcasing parts of Japan), to arched displays with lanterns made by local school children.
Arrive in late afternoon for more daylight and to see the lanterns come alive with light. Make an evening of it with dinner and a wander around the many displays. Always keep an eye out for street performers too.
Mobility tip
This popular area gets crowded, but otherwise the streets and plazas have good mobility. Most of the area is flat, and there are wide sidewalks and many vehicle-free zones.
National Taiwan Museum and Peace Memorial Park
Taipei does have its rainy times, and it’s good to keep some indoor options in your back pocket.
Either for a rainy day, to get out of the heat, or simply to add some culture and context to your visit, block in at least a couple of hours for the National Taiwan Museum.
One rainy morning, we made our way here. Nestled in Taipei’s 228 Peace Memorial Park, the museum’s breadth of exhibits clued us into much of Taiwan’s history and culture. Some exhibits listed information in English, but usually the visuals gave us plenty of context on everything from how weather and natural disasters shape Taiwan, to the island’s indigenous peoples. Artifacts encapsulated thousands of years of Taiwanese history.
The lower levels also have a wonderful, sprawling children’s area, with zones targeting different age ranges via hands-on exhibits, free play areas, books, and dress-up. There are even zones that go through particulars of learning language.
Surrounding blocks offer a range of noodle shops and other eateries. The Peace Park area itself offered green space and paved paths. Once the rain had passed, Aster made the most out of a large playground structure, and we adults could sit at some of the benches and have a chat in the cool air.
Mobility tip
Moving around the museum building has some narrow zones, and elevators are available.
Dihua Street
The iconic traditional area offers shops and eateries, but expect that to include a hearty helping of crowds. This is a popular area for a reason though. The shops and treat stalls evoke Taipei through the ages, and the area is often a hub for community events such as Lunar New Year.
Stop by the Dadaocheng Visitor Center for recommendations, brochures, suggestions from staff, and street-level toilets. Inside, take up to an hour to explore the historic scenes, apothecary, and other displays and artifacts on the second and third floors.
When wandering the streets themselves, the people-watching is first-rate. And if you’re looking for snacks, such as an excellent dried fruit and veggie mix we noshed on, you’ll find all sorts of teas, nibblies, and more.
Dadaocheng Wharf
After Dihua Street, a wander through town takes you to the waterfront promenade and public area of Dadaocheng Wharf.
The paths along the Dadaocheng Wharf waterfront here are a favorite for cyclists and pedestrians. Keep an eye out for people stopping by the bridges here for wedding photos or other photo shoots for big life events.
Food stalls along the waterfront can be a little pricey, but the view makes it all the more worthwhile. We snagged an excellent coffee. As the afternoon heads into evening, this would be a great place to relax with a beverage, maybe a good book or some good company, and watch the city lights come on across the water. Most stalls open after 4pm
Also check out the mural at the entrance to the waterfront area. The nearby temple offers a calm area to relax a little, and it’s often the site of community events.
Mobility tip
Exercise caution and keep an eye out for cyclists along the car-free routes here. The promenade is wide, flat, and paved, making for overall easier access throughout the food stalls and along the waterfront overlooks.
Food and drink in Taipei
Taipei loves to eat. And the city makes it easy to dine on a budget, even a modest family budget like ours. As much as we love to cook at home, our month in Taipei was the least we have ever cooked for ourselves.
Dine out and get takeout with abandon
Our family loves to cook, yet our month in Taipei had us hardly touching the stove. Many areas of Taipei simply abound with affordable, everyday food. Whether it was our scallion pancake place in the morning, the manifold bubble tea shops on practically every block, or the family friendly spots serving up everything from sushi to waffles, fried rice to bao, we ate well on a family budget.
As you know, we rarely make restaurant suggestions. Odds are wherever you stay in Taipei, you can triangulate your area with Google reviews of good places nearby. Given how central good food is to Taipei culture, we have every confidence you’ll be just fine—and finely fed.
We will, however, make a couple of suggestions.
Dim Sum at Din Tai Fung (we suggest the location at Taipei 101)
Iconic, global dim sum chain Din Tai Fung began in Taipei, and we suggest a dining and sightseeing pairing.
A visit to one of the world’s tallest buildings goes hand in hand with visiting the height of dumplings and dim sum. After visiting the observation decks at Din Tai Fung, head to the basement food court area for a meal at Din Tai Fung.
Plan for a wait (ours was about an hour and a half), but you can get a ticket with a return time. That frees you up to have a wander or do a bit of shopping before you tuck into Din Tai Fung’s legendary dumplings.
Visit a night market on your own or take a guided night market tour
Taipei loves night markets. Neighborhoods throughout the city have their own day and night markets too, but Taipei’s most typical markets for visitors are these three:
Nanjichang Night Market is often considered less touristy overall.
Raohe Night Market is popular and has lots of options, but generally is a good value.
The sprawling Shilin Night Market can feel more like a sprawling street fair full of not only freshly cooked food, but shops and carnival-style games.
We visited Shilin Night Market on a private night market tour. Our guide was great with the kids, explaining dishes, steering us to vendors whose quality he knew well, and helping us try a delicious sample of foods popular throughout Taiwan.
Book the Taipei night market tour we enjoyed
Take a tea tour for a day trip from Taipei
Want to get out of town for the day while still engaging in Taiwanese culture? Take a tea tour!
Tours leave in the morning and the afternoon. We chose an afternoon tour to get out into the hill country just outside of Taipei.
Our tour had us looking out over lakes, forests, and the hillside plantations of Taiwanese tea farms; deepening our understanding of tea’s history throughout Taiwanese culture at an excellent interactive museum; and visiting a tea shop in a small town for a light-hearted tea tasting.

Tamsui (also known as Danshui)
North of Taipei’s main areas, the Tamsui district is easily reachable by train or rideshare. This slightly slower paced community is close to the water. Tamsui offers boardwalks, cycle routes, temples and more, for an excellent day trip spot close to Taipei itself.
The gathering spots of Guandu Temple gave us insights into local beliefs and culture. At the Mangrove Ecology Trail’s boardwalk, we wandered through a waterfront mangrove forest, where the muddy ground teemed with teeny crabs.
Guandu Temple
From our area south of Taipei 101, it turned out to be more convenient yet still reasonably priced to take a rideshare. However, you can reach Guandu Temple directly via train too. When walking from the train station, just follow the lanterns.
Guandu Temple provides a central hub for the community. The multilevel grounds are full of rooms devoted to different spirit representations or opportunities to offer prayers.
Up the hillside, there’s also a garden area and a serene overlook for views of the water. You can check out temple architecture up close, and offer your own prayers or requests, while being mindful of those around you who are also there for their spirituality and community.
Just inside the main temple building, you can find souvenir stamps, as well as an English guidebook to the temple and common prayers.
From inside the main temple building, turn right to the outdoor plaza, set in a sort of small grotto surrounded by hillside. We enjoyed the small pool here, which was full of turtles. There are also toilets nearby, along with stairs to other parts of the temple complex.
Mobility tip
The road going into the temple is sloped, and there are stairs throughout the temple area.
Mangrove Ecology Trail
As much as we enjoy cities, we especially love it when we can easily get into nature. The Mangrove Ecology Trail is an 800-meter walk from Hongshulin station.
During our 2025 visit, the area between the station and the trail was under construction. Once construction finishes, our understanding is there’ll be a closer entrance to the trail, reachable from the station.
There’s peace and wonder here. The river is wide, and you retain views of the skyline along both sides of the water. When the tide is out, the exposed muddy ground teems with little crabs. The kids were happy to hang out and watch them dash along.
It’s a quiet zone, all the more welcome as a respite from the bustle of Taipei itself. From the main entrance, we wandered until the boardwalk turned a sharp corner. It was a good turnaround point for us, but you can also continue out over the water itself if you want.
Mobility tip
The boardwalk itself can be narrow in spots, but overall is a smooth stroll through the forest. During the current construction zone, some access was along the road, and we had to cross under a rail trestle with an incline and little visibility. Much of the path to the boardwalk’s entrance was through a fenced pedestrian path alongside the construction zone.
Also in Tamsui
Other popular spots in the Tamsui area include:
- Fisherman’s Wharf, where the river has its confluence with the Taiwan Strait (waterfront promenades here are popular with cyclists and pedestrians)
- Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts
- Hobe Fort
Getting around Taipei
Taipei’s safe public transportation system makes it easy to get around the city via bus, train, or rideshare. We actually used the bus system almost daily, and only rode the train twice!
For times where public transport wasn’t as useful or convenient, we used Uber for a door-to-door rideshare.
Much of Taipei is walkable. Typically your biggest hazard is how people park (and sometimes drive) their motorbikes on the sidewalks.
Get an EasyCard
Along with cash fares, Taipei’s trains and buses accept Taiwan’s EasyCard. EasyCard also comes in handy as an electronic payment in many stores and some restaurants.
We used EasyCard for all our public transit. Foreign visitors typically need to get a physical card, which you pay for with cash at stores such as 7-11.
When you pay a bus or train fare, a fare payment display screen will show you how much money you have left on your EasyCard. And when your EasyCard needs topping up with cash, you can quickly do so at train stations, but we also just dropped by a 7-11, where an attendant could take care of it at the register.
EasyCards come in standard designs, but we appreciated that they also have lots of cool or limited release designs. We sought out designs we liked, turning our cards not just into a useful transit tool, but a fun souvenir.
Accessibility and mobility disability considerations
Taipei’s sidewalks are a mishmash of materials, heights, and widths. Our understanding is that the building’s developer/owner is in charge of making the sidewalk space, and there’s not an overarching standard that the sidewalks have to follow.
For travelers with mobility disabilities or considerations, this does mean getting around Taipei’s sidewalks takes some vigilance. Motorbikes might make a walkway narrow or block it completely. Inclines on ramps or curb access points are often steep, sometimes nonexistent, and rarely uniform. Some sidewalks have the occasional step up or down.
We typically could figure out ways to navigate sidewalks, and often followed what other people were doing. On one stretch of sidewalk near our accommodation, for example, we knew that there was a stretch where anyone, not just us, had to walk along the road.
Ideal? No. Manageable? We thought so, and encourage you to observe the surroundings well as you get around Taipei.
Where to stay in Taipei
In our experience, Taipei has a range of accommodation and price points, but finding multiple rooms can be tricky. Typical price points can be lower than you might find in, say, Japan, but higher than what you might typically encounter in Vietnam or Thailand.
Whenever we can, we get short-term rentals where the kids can have their own room. During our stay in nearby Taoyuan, we found a great apartment where the kids could indeed have separate rooms.
During our stay in Taipei itself, the kids shared a room but had their own beds. On the flip side, that apartment came with a northern view of Taipei 101, and that alone was worthwhile.
Especially for families, and especially for stays longer than a few nights, it can be more worthwhile staying in a short-term rental, such as an Airbnb, than a hotel. We find that we can get a bigger space, and we feel more relaxed and at-home during times when we’re not out and about for activities and sightseeing.
Affordable dining out can make a kitchen less of a priority
Funnily enough, kitchen space was far less of a factor in Taipei than it is for most of our accommodation priorities.
We found many affordable, family-style eateries in Taipei. Going out to eat or getting takeout was often less expensive than cooking our own food. When evaluating short-term rentals, a kitchen might be less of a priority for you too.

From soup dumpling deliciousness to skyline marveling, Taipei is a wonderful destination
Best things to do in Taipei (and eat in Taipei) abound, especially for families.
We dined. We saw pandas (and macaques, and koi fish, and turtles, and Tasmanian devils…). In addition to filling our bellies, we filled our knowledge as we learned to make soup dumplings. One of our favorite activities in Taipei was simply wandering our neighborhood for bakeries, beef noodle soup spots, and more.
Even writing this, I can’t help but notice that what I say always veers back to food.
Taipei is a wonderful place to visit, especially with kids. It’s a city where you can feel safe, where there’s lots to do for adults and kids, and where you will always be able to find something delicious to eat and something fun to do.
There are big joys in Taipei. There are also simple pleasures, from a bowl of beef noodle soup, to gazing up at Taipei 101 when it’s lit up at night. We are so glad we finally went, and you will be too.
