A tiny side-tip to those who might end up visiting Taipei (I've spent a few years there) for the championship (yes I know it's a ways off, but...):
----> MAKE SURE YOU MANAGE TO VISIT THE IMPERIAL PALACE MUSEUM!!
If you were ever interested in Chinese culture, this is the place to visit. Over500+ years of treasures accumulated by the Yuan, Ming, and Ching dynasties are there (no, it's not in mainland China).
When the Nationalist Party (Kumingtang) retreated from mainland China to Taiwan, they took most of the imperial treasures from the Forbidden City to Taipei. So, if you visit the Forbidden City in Beijing today, you'll find the buildings, but the actual valuables are in Taiwan...
