Taipei Palace Museum

avatar

uhhkatee

first time to taipei palace museum and it sure did not disappoint! i strongly recommend allocating about 3 to 5 hours here as it is really big with different exhibitions around. there is also a kids area and although i do not have kids, this section does have very pretty artefacts worth taking a look! i bought this with the yehliu geopark admission as well and while i have been there years ago, yehliu geopark still amazes me as much as the first time i went.

TAIPEI 101

sogata

Only go to the 91st floor! Go up again to buy tickets! The gift coupons sent are all conditional, one is useless… a little gap with expectations! If you can, it will be more perfect to go directly to the top floor 😍

Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall

Came here in the late afternoon so it was cooler but the sky was just beautiful with such a large landscape of garden plots and sight of memorial hall. The contrast of white building against the blue sky was perfect for photography. Watch the flag lowering at CKS.

Liberty Square

喜欢猫的虎

The main entrance of Liberty Square is the most magnificent archway in Taiwan and an important place for Taipei’s civic arts and leisure activities. The square often hosts various large concerts and concerts, and the “Taipei Lighting Festival” is also held here every year. Theatre and concert halls on both sides are the main town of Taipei’s literary and artistic performances. Peace Pigeons are frequent visitors to Liberty Square, where they can take photos, interact and feed. As night fell, the tall archway was illuminated by bright yellow lights, the golden wall was brilliant, majestic.

Taipei 101 Observatory

Definitely a must see if you’re going to Taipei. Taipei 101 itself is testament to masterful engineering work and the observatory at the top really makes you see Taipei in a whole new light.

Joyful Dining

Take the cable car to enjoy the scenery of Taipei City, along the way is also green, the mountain wind is relatively large, it feels cool. There are many shops selling tea, and the clerks are warm and friendly.

Maokong Gondola

Maokong Gondola is definitely one of the places you must visit if it’s your first trip to Taipei. Enjoy the break taking view from the top of the mountain, located right beside the zoo. Check out the matcha and hojicha ice cream too!
