| Posted: 18 Dec 2012 01:17 PM PST Rivers, mountains, valleys and beaches make the City of Azaleas beautiful, but it's the bright lights and nonstop tempo that make it an undiscovered treasure Article Page A flourishing metropolis, Taipei sits in a basin surrounded by mountains gushing with hot springs, but it's the urban attractions that garner the most attention in this capital city with about 7 million residents in the metro area. The mighty Taipei 101 (at 1,670 feet, it's the world's third-tallest structure ) rises from the center of the city like a single, giant stalk of bamboo.

| Is this Europe's most beautiful coastline? Posted: 19 Nov 2012 02:45 AM PST A glimpse of the Antrim Coast in Northern Ireland is one sure way to help visitors forget the past The fjords of Norway, the Swiss Alps, the Aegean Islands and the Scottish Glens -- to that roll call of beauty incarnate, we'd add an unsung region in a distinctly unglamorous part of the world: Northern Ireland's amazing Antrim Coast. When you have a population of just 1.7 million and change, a coastline that's a scant few hundred kilometers long and a recent history on which few care to dwell, it's all the more important to highlight the good things in life.

| Belize: 7 of its most stunning islands Posted: 18 Nov 2012 11:54 PM PST Can't decide which Belizean caye to visit? After checking out these beauties, the decision won't get any easier The Caribbean nation of Belize has more than 200 islands or "cayes." While many visitors are content to spend all of their time in the more heavily trafficked northern cayes, such as Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, venturing to more distant, southern islands, such as Tobacco Caye, gets you closer to the eternal deserted-island fantasy. Getting to most of the country's more "remote" cayes requires no more than a three-hour journey from Belize City.

But a century on and Rudyard Kipling's sentiments -- about "sunshine, palm trees and tinkly temple bells" -- still hold true.

But for each month there's a perfect city, and conversely each city can be best enjoyed in a specific month. Here's a year-long guide to the when, where and why.

| Tony Wheeler's top 5 edgy destinations Posted: 18 Nov 2012 09:38 AM PST You have to be "a bit crazy" to want to go to the weird and wonderful places that excite the Lonely Planet founder Article Page Lonely Planet founder Tony Wheeler hasn't stopped traveling since he sold the company two years ago. When it comes to deciding where to go there's just one qualifier -- it's got to be edgy. The sort of place that isn't just a challenge to get into, its even risky to be in.
