In the interview with the director in the DVD "Features", Huo Hsiao-hsien said he made it a point to have this movie mostly about Taipei. He also said he doesn't use Cantonese actors and doesn't make films too much like Wong Kar-Wai or other Hong Kong directors because he feels he hasn't got a deep enough cultural background understanding for doing so.
