Taipei|Teamlab creates a future park and takes children into a dreamy world of light and shadow!
I brought my children to visit Teamlab to create the future park and experienced a super dreamy light and shadow art exhibition! The colorful colors and undulating terrain make people feel like they have walked into a fantasy world of the future~
In addition to being able to draw and project your own works for interaction, there are also large slides and hopscotch facilities for children to have fun! Our favorites are the Light Ball Area and the Valley Area, which are full of dynamism and fun, and really make people linger.
However, because the exhibition venue is mainly based on projection, the light is relatively dim. When there are a lot of people, special attention should be paid to the safety of children to avoid them getting lost.
Overall, this is a great parent-child activity that combines art and games. It is recommended for families who want to get close to art and let their children release their emotions~

[Taiwan] Perfect for a date❤️ Starbucks in Yangmingshan
#CoupleTrip #100TravelStyles #FuriTabi
Starbucks in Yangmingshan, Taiwan is a highly recommended date spot as a cafe with a special atmosphere. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Yangmingshan, which is rich in nature, this Starbucks is easily accessible from Taipei City and is a great place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The best thing about this Starbucks is its location, which is in harmony with the surrounding nature. From the terrace seats surrounded by mountains and trees, you can enjoy the magnificent view of Yangmingshan, and you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, such as cherry blossoms and autumn leaves depending on the season, and frost in winter. You can spend a quiet and calm time against the backdrop of beautiful nature, and the romantic atmosphere is especially prevalent from evening to night.
It is a perfect place for a date, where you can relax with each other and enjoy a conversation with a hot coffee or a stylish drink in hand. In addition, the interior of the cafe is modern and stylish, but is designed with harmony with nature in mind, creating a comfortable space. The point is that you can see a vast view from the window, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery no matter where you sit.
In addition, Yangmingshan is one of Taipei's most popular tourist spots, so if you're planning a date, you can combine a visit to the nearby hot springs, hiking trails, and seasonal botanical gardens to make the whole day fun.
The Starbucks in Yangmingshan, where you can enjoy nature and a stylish cafe atmosphere at the same time, is an ideal spot for couples looking to spend a special moment. Be sure to visit it on your date.

Taipei Shilin My life is dedicated to this handmade gnocchi specialty store.
|Taipei. Shilin|
BON MEINGERDA was another accidental find on the map, and it turned out to be a famous store again 🤣. Unlike the usual impression of gnocchi, the store deliberately uses exotic cooking methods to pair with handmade gnocchi, which is incredibly delicious!
The portions are quite large, the gnocchi is very chewy, and the sauce is quite flavorful, which I really like. The marinated braised pork is crispy and I love it, and the beautiful tricolor egg is amazing. Overall, the dishes are very delicate yet reasonably priced. I really like it and will definitely come back to try other flavors 🤍❤️
🔰 Soy Milk Chicken Cheese White Sauce Gnocchi / $220
🔰 Braised Pork Mushroom Pesto Gnocchi / $220
+ $90 to upgrade to a set (choose a side dish or drink)
🔰 Tricolor Cake / $70

Popular Queue Ramen Shop Next to Taipei Shilin MRT Station: Kakurega Ramen
Shilin's popular ramen shop, Kakurega Ramen, is located right next to Exit 2 of the Shilin MRT station, offering a rich tonkotsu broth. Ordering is done via a vending machine, and on weekdays at noon, you'll only need to wait a little, about 5-10 minutes.
I ordered the basic tonkotsu soy sauce ramen, which came with a bunch of green onions and a thick slice of char siu. The white soup was very rich, having been simmered to perfection. If the meat is not enough, you can order an extra meat platter, which is quite a good deal. The price has now increased to 220 TWD.
The staff are friendly, and the overall experience is good. Next time, I might try the duck white soup ramen, which sounds intriguing.

Crispy and Juicy, the Best Fried Chicken in Shilin: Texas Mex Fried Chicken.
Known as the best fried chicken in the Shilin area of Taipei, Texas Mex Fried Chicken has been featured on many YouTube channels. The skin is crispy, the meat is juicy and tender, although slightly salty, the overall taste is quite outstanding and delicious.
My first visit was after a hike to Tianmu Battleship Rock and the Shuiguan Trail. Hungry after the climb, fried chicken was the perfect energy booster, and Texas Mex Fried Chicken was naturally the first choice! It did not disappoint, managing to fry even the driest chicken breast to such a crispy and tender perfection, delicious.
We ordered the meal for two: 3 pieces of American fried chicken + 6 crispy chicken strips + 2 small side dishes + 2 medium drinks. The sides were naturally American battered fries and creamed corn, paired with spicy fried chicken and cola, the sinful carbs were truly a joy!
Also, took away custard puffs and blueberry cheesecake from Jiaxin Deli for a delicious dessert after the meal, a real treat to relieve the fatigue of the hike.

Yuri Noodle Baoyuan in Taipei City
Location↓
No. 218, Zhongzheng Rd, Shilin District, Taipei City, Taiwan 111
This is a long-established bakery located on Zhongzheng Road in Shilin District, and the prices are very reasonable.
Whenever I come to Taiwan, I always eat
square-shaped cheesecake, egg tart, and milk bread🤩
I personally really like these three types😆
Even though it's called cheesecake, it has a texture somewhere between a souffle and bread, and a salty bread crust on the outside, and it has a very unique taste that you won't find in Japanese sweet bread!
The saltiness and the moderate sweetness of the cheese souffle are very delicious😊
As for the milk bread, there is something called 'Naisu' inside, which is not like a creamy milk, but more like minced meat? There is a delicious bread with a unique texture that contains . This is also a sweet bread that is not available in Japan, so if you come to Taiwan, you should definitely try it. It is the bread I most recommend to everyone. #Taiwanese food #Lily bread bun #Taiwanese sweets #Taiwan trip

Yusense Hotel
#Taiwan Local Tour
I chose to stay at Youcheng Hotel because it is very close to Yangmingshan. There are also the National Palace Museum, China Film Cultural City, Shuangxi Park, Shilin Official Residence Park, and Shilin Night Market nearby, which is very convenient.
The hotel's decoration mainly uses elegant wooden furniture, and there are large floor-to-ceiling windows with mountain views, providing good lighting.
I booked a deluxe room with two small beds. It was provided with small biscuits and three kinds of fruits. The TV was a bit small, but it could connect to YouTube and other online TV, which was a plus!
The most recommended breakfast is a set menu, which is cooked to order to reduce waste and coldness. The presentation is beautiful and the portions are large. Eating breakfast in a retro and artistic restaurant with a large mountain view will make you feel very good in the morning.
The overall stay was clean and comfortable, with all the necessary facilities, but it was not amazing, just average.

Taipei-Old-fashioned cake shop 🍰 Shuncheng Cake | (many kinds of souvenir gift boxes)
There are so many kinds of gift boxes in this shop. In addition to pineapple cakes and egg yolk cakes, there is also a full cabinet of cakes. I saw many foreign tourists coming to buy. The clerk was also very enthusiastic in introducing. I was a little scared when I first entered the store. 😆
I was really moved to see the chocolate chip cake from my childhood in the cake cabinet. It felt like a retro snack. If you want to try the taste of the old brand, the restoration of the old taste here is particularly good, and it has a very childhood taste!
The store also sells handmade biscuits, Chinese-style scones, and bread, which are perfect for those who want to take home for breakfast.

New food in Shilin | Cafe combined with art exhibition, high-quality bread is a must-order! Moge Coffee Art Space
A new high-quality coffee shop opened in Shilin👏
The basement is specially combined with an art space, with regular exhibitions of different themes. On that day, there was a calligraphy and pottery creation exhibition. Friends who like art should not miss it~
Their baked goods are among the best I've ever had in a coffee shop. The bread is made on the spot that day. It's so nice to eat hot bread.
▫️Moge Brunch $260
The brunch platter is rich and delicious!
Korean bread has a chewy texture and a strong sesame aroma. The sliced toast is soft and has a light spice flavor, which makes you feel full!
The chicken steak is simply seasoned, and the lettuce and sesame sauce are very refreshing, healthy and nutritious👍🏻
▫️Baked pork loin bread box $160
The soup-like filling is surprisingly rich! The onion is full of sweetness and rich cream aroma. The meat is also very tender. It is delicious when eaten with crispy bread.
▫️Salt flower cream roll $35
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the light milky aroma and salty-sweet taste are addictive
And it’s only $35 each, which is too cheap. I took a few home to eat.
▫️Croissant $120
The croissant dough is pressed into muffins, which tastes crispier and more layered than ordinary muffins. It is delicious with sweet honey and sweet but not greasy fresh cream😍
▫️Matcha Latte $150
▫️Lemon Sicily $140

Recommended izakaya next to Shilin Night Market 🏮, Dahe Qingtian Charcoal Izakaya Shilin Branch - Orion Drinking
It's been a long time since I came to Shilin. Today I came to Shilin to eat at an izakaya. I unexpectedly found that this one has good reviews and is very affordable. I ordered a table of good dishes today. Some of them are the chef's special dishes, such as chopped pepper preserved eggs and homemade sausages, which are quite unique. The truffle fries are delicious and the dipping sauce is super fragrant. The Hiroshima oysters are fried crispy, delicious and fresh 🦪😍. There are relatively few seats in the store. If there are more people going, it is recommended to make an appointment in advance. You can come and try it, you won't be disappointed

Sweet atmosphere-ice cream DIY Yannick Yangmingshan store
#Valentine's Day
It is an American style restaurant. The seats are not very comfortable but the colors are lively and bright. They sell a lot of desserts. The lowest price is 150 yuan per person. We ordered ice cream that day, which was 90 yuan each. It seems not cheap, but the ingredients are real. The milk source is raw milk from Hokkaido. It is really delicious and not too sweet. You will feel happy after eating it. Lovers can share DIY food on a date. It is delicious and fun.

Different beauty during the day and evening-Shuangxi Wetland Park
#NewYearGoodDestinations
Shuangxi Wetland Park has a different beauty in the evening when the sun is shining brightly during the day. If you drive here, it is difficult to park because there are no parking spaces. It is recommended that you park in the parking lot of the children's playground and then walk over.
The observation platform offers a view of the beautiful scenery, and the wetland platform is almost as high as the wetland in the water. It is a very special experience. Unfortunately, the wetland pool is severely euoxidized. In addition to taking a walk and taking beautiful photos for the internet, you can also ride bicycles here. This would be a great attraction for a New Year's family trip.
