Taipei is beautiful because it’s attractive, not because it’s pretty. There’s a slight difference. Berlin’s cityscape is prettier (but only marginally pretty in absolute terms; drab compared to other European cities), but I don’t find it nearly as attractive.
Vibrancy, fun, quirkiness, and safety count for a lot.
