The Cutest Mountain Top Coffee Spot, Hidden In The Trees! A Caffeine Oasis ❤️ ☕️ 🌲

If you’re heading up the Maokong Cable cars you need to check out the ‘lazy day cafe’ when you get to the top. The cafe is tucked away down some stairs that go down into the forest, under the tarpaulins is a super cute cafe. It’s run by an elderly couple who are super friendly and super proud of their store - they do a nice range of coffee, tea and cakes. I got iced coffee and an amazing lemon cheesecake, the coffee came in an adorable cat mug and they were very happy that I enjoyed myself. The cafe is sitting in the Forrest and has no main walls, it’s completely open plan and you just feel like you’re in the trees. The couple are very friendly and want to know where all their visitors are from, they’ll ask to take a photo of you and take some details for their scrap book. Such a wholesome visit, I’d highly recommend! Coffee & cake was about £8 / $10 totally worth it for the experience alone. #cityplaybook #myitinerary #thingstodo #taipei #coffee #cafe #hiddengem

This trip to Taipei and New Taipei with a 4-year-old child has selected a few attractions that are suitable for parent-child fun and full of characteristics. The route design focuses on parent-child interaction, beautiful photography and exploration of nature, so the whole family can easily enjoy the wonderful time in Taipei’s city and countryside. Itinerary: Taipei Municipal Zoo (morning) > Cat Sky Cable Car (after lunch) > Taipei 101 Observation Deck (afternoon) > Yehliu Geopark (next day outing) Taipei Municipal Zoo Address: No. 30, Section 2, Xinguang Road, Wenshan District, Taipei Opening Hours: 09:00 - 17:00 (last entry 16:00) Tickets: 22.0 The zoo is oversized and you can easily see popular animals such as elephants, giraffes, and pandas with your children. The park has parent-child washrooms and a rest area, which is very convenient and clean. The animal feeding area is very popular with children. It is recommended to reserve 2-3 hours, every weekend there is a little more crowd, it is recommended to go early to avoid queuing. Cat Sky Cable Car Address: No. 8, Section 2, Xinguang Road, Wenshan District, Taipei Business Hours: 09:00 - 21:00 (Monday, Saturday & Sunday only) Tickets: 69.0 The cable car station is within walking distance from the zoo and the kids are excited to board the crystal glass-bottomed carriage! Along the way, you can see the mountain view of Wenshan and the tea garden. There are several tea restaurants at the Cat Air Station at the end. It is very chill for parents and children to gather together to enjoy tea. The whole journey is safe, and there are guide boards at the stops on the way for fun and learning. Taipei 101 Observation Deck Address: 89F, No. 7, Section 5, Xinyi Road, Xinyi District, Taipei Opening Hours: 10:00 - 21:00 (last entry 20:15) Tickets: 140.0 Recommended in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. A quick lift directly to the sky, the 89th floor overlooking the panoramic view of Taipei City, children jump with excitement! The viewing platform features interactive games and photo booths, simple English/Chinese introductions, and educational and entertaining. It is recommended to bring a light stroller for smoother movement inside the venue, however it is windy outdoors and be sure to take care of your children. Yehliu Geopark Address: 167-1 Yeliuligang East Road, Wanli District, New Taipei City Opening Hours: 08:00 - 17:00 (last entry 17:00) Tickets: 27.0 The next day it is recommended to take transportation to New Taipei, Yehliu must see the "Queen's Head" strange rock, children can learn geological knowledge and enjoy the natural scenery. The park trails are flat and suitable for parents and children. There are plenty of photo spots, but the wind is stronger, prepare a windbreaker hat. There are shops and snacks nearby for easy resupply. The park is not too big, 1.5-2 hours is enough. Practical tips: 1. Early arrival is recommended for all attractions to avoid queues, especially the zoo and 101. 2. Wild Willow Geopark needs to be aware of strong coastal winds and children need to wear jackets. 3. The Cat Air Cable Car is not open on weekdays. Remember to schedule your visit on Mondays or weekends. 4. If your child needs a nap, bring a folding stroller. 5. The zoo park is large, it is recommended to download the map and plan the route to avoid taking the wrong path. This parent-child Taipei New Taipei route is definitely suitable for taking children out, integrating fun, education, natural beauty, plus a few more beautiful spots to take pictures, satisfying the whole family.
