You should have around 4-5 hours to walk around so just go to the Financial District and snap some shots of Taipei 101 (the most expensive building in the world = it is shorter than the Burj Khalifa but it cost more because it's built on an earthquake fault and Taiwan didn't use indentured servants for cheap labor).
I'd be coming in from SFO and connecting to SZX. I got people to see and food that I miss in Taipei, haha. The idea of waiting in TPE for 8 hours in transit isn't appealing at all. I can barely handle waiting there 2-3 hours for my flight.
