Travel to Taipei

Taipei offers a unique blend of tradition and progress that feels both familiar and inspiring to Filipino visitors. Once a quiet settlement, it has grown into a modern urban hub while holding on to its deep cultural roots. Sleek high-rises rise beside forested hills, and the city’s night markets—alive with the scent of street food and the glow of red lanterns—sit just around the corner from stylish shopping malls and efficient public transport. It’s a place where centuries-old temples stand beside buzzing tech offices, and quiet parks offer a break from the fast-paced rhythm of the city. For many Filipinos, Taipei is more than just a travel destination—it’s a glimpse of how a city can move forward without losing its soul.

I love to shop for old objects and small ornaments. I used to go to Chifeng Street to hunt for treasures. But this time when I came to Dihua Street, I was completely amazed by the Modern Mode Cafe opened by artist Zhong Yao. The space is low-key and hidden in the alley, but when you walk in, it feels like walking into a small selection store on the streets of Paris. Several retro European sofas, wooden dining tables, and industrial iron chairs are placed just right, warm and unique. This is not just a cafe, but also a selection store. All furniture is old pieces collected by the boss himself from all over the world. The front half of the space is converted into an ornament display area with old tables. It is full of antique necklaces, earrings, ornaments and European-style utensils. You can buy them and take them home. You can own what you like. It is not just a look but a part of life. I highly recommend it to people who like retro style, treasure hunting, and the old soul. This place has more European warmth and selection aesthetics than Chifeng Street. You will really fall in love with it after a visit. 🔌 Useful information Store name｜Modern Mode Cafe Address｜No. 197, Section 1, Dihua Street, Datong District, Taipei City Time｜11:00 to 19:00 daily #Selected store #Must-visit Dihua Street #Retro Taipei attractions #Artists' cafes #Chifeng Street extension #Taipei cafe recommendations #Selected items paradise #Retro accessories #Old items collection #Dadaocheng private attractions #Lifestyle selection #Café control #July good places 2025

Tao Zhu Yin Yuan This building is designed with a DNA-like spiral shape. This project emphasizes sustainability. Over 23,000 trees are planted throughout the building to help absorb carbon dioxide and increase green space in the city center. The building also uses renewable energy technology and is designed to allow good access to natural light. It is suitable for those interested in cutting-edge architecture and environmentally friendly concepts. It is a new landmark that is beautiful to take pictures of and worth seeing when visiting Taipei. 📍 Songgao Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City, Taiwan 🚆 Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall Station #TaiwanTravel

Went to Taiwan last April and here are some things I'll definitely do again if I come back as a solo traveler. 1 - Use e-sim instead of pocket wi-fi. The line is actually not that long during claiming (Taoyuan Airport). However, for me it's a hassle to go back to the booth just to return it. E-sim is also reliable and no problem with connect 2 - Bring extra pair of shoes if you're staying for a couple of days. My last trip was 6D5N aand I only brought a pair of shoes. My friend said Taipei weather is unpredictable and surely I got soaked on my 2nd day. Thankfully the hotel I'm staying have dryer. 3 - Hotel. Don't mind adding a little extra if this will give you comfort! I had a wonderful stay at Main Inn Taipei and will probably be back here! 4 - Buy an IC card holder. For someone forgetful like me, this is a must! You won't need to rummage on your bag or pockets. 5 - Load your IC with enough value, it's easy to top-up on convenience stores. Always bring cash! Not all shops accepts card. 6 - When lost, Google Map is the key! Learn how the train lines work (Taipei), You don't need to memorize them all, just check the station name/line color. No need to be afraid during transfer, there are signages every where! #travel #taipei

Hoto Cafe ☕️✨ •—Taiwan . 🍰There are so many cafes in Taiwan! We'll take you to 🍀 Hoto cafe 🍀 located at Zhongshan Station. Just walk down an alley and find it on Google Maps. . ☕️It's a quiet cafe with delicious, aromatic coffee and cute cakes. The bathroom is incredibly clean and fragrant. There are several seats inside, but I didn't take any photos of them, as I'd have to take photos of the people sitting there. . The cafe is so cute and perfect for a relaxing time. The greenery and the wood tones of the cafe blend in. It's incredibly peaceful when you step inside. 🌸🌸🌸 #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #TaiwanCafe #TaipeiTravel #TaiwanTravel

Emperor Qianlong, one of the longest-reigning emperors in Chinese history, was also a passionate connoisseur of art and collectibles. The exhibition at the National Palace Museum in Taipei showcases exquisite artifacts that narrate the luxurious lifestyle of the royal family during Qianlong's reign. From gold-thread embroidered dragon robes to porcelain, jade, and treasured paintings, each piece reflects Qianlong's meticulous attention to detail. The highlight of the exhibition is a recreated palace scene that transports visitors back to the Qing Dynasty's imperial court, immersing them in the grandeur of "the emperor's will, the world's provision." It's not just an exhibition but a serene and opulent journey through time. 📍 Location: No. 221, Section 2, Zhishan Road, Shilin District, Taipei City (National Palace Museum)

Roots is a sculpture created by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, based in Taipei, Taiwan, who uses characters from many languages (Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, etc.) to create human shapes. It is located in front of One Park Taipei. Made of white painted steel, it shines brightly at night, and it is a figure of people sitting on top of each other (like a father and son), representing the “roots” and the connection between humans in terms of culture and generations. The characters that make up the human figure reflect the diversity of languages and cultures around the world. 📍 One Park Taipei 🚆 Daan Park Station Exit 6 #TaiwanTravel

Shuicheliao Hydrangea Garden is truly a fantastic flower-viewing spot near Taipei. Especially during the annual hydrangea season, the entire hillside is covered with dreamy blue, purple, and pink hydrangeas, making it a perfect place for photography! The drive from the city center isn't too long, and the garden has well-planned walking trails that are easy to navigate and not too strenuous. Many visitors dress up beautifully for photos, and the pictures often look like they were taken abroad. However, if you visit on weekends, it can get quite crowded, and you might have to wait in line for photos. It's recommended to come early or visit on weekdays for a more comfortable experience. This is an ideal spot for couples, friends, and families to enjoy together, and visiting during the flower season will definitely not disappoint!
