Taipei

the local sports scene
Taipei follows baseball the way European cities follow football — the CPBL season is the calendar, and the Lions–Elephants–Guardians triangle is how people argue at lunch.
The local sports scene
The scene
The Chinese Professional Baseball League plays through the humid Taipei summer with crowds that would look respectable in NPB. PTS and the Liberty Times sports desk cover the league in Traditional Chinese with daily depth that English-language aggregators never touch. Basketball has a professional league too, but CPBL is what fills the sports pages.
Rivalries that matter
Wei Chuan against Uni-Lions is the old capital rivalry; the Guardians' arrival split loyalties across New Taipei. International baseball — Chinese Taipei at the WBC — unifies the city in a way club football never could here.
Where to watch
Ximending and Da'an for CPBL nights; the bars near Taipei Arena when basketball is in season.
