Taipei is a city where surprises are always hidden in everyday life! During my 6-day, 5-night trip, I explored Taipei's most iconic and storied districts. From national treasures in museums to time-honored shops on street corners, from brunch to night market delicacies, I experienced the city's diversity and vitality firsthand. Whether you're a hipster, a foodie, or a traveler who enjoys exploring historical sites, this Taipei itinerary is sure to leave you with a rewarding experience—not just for the check-in, but also for the warmth. 🌟 Trip Highlights: - A Gathering of Scenic Spots: The National Palace Museum, the Presidential Office Building, and the Red House in Ximen all combine a historic atmosphere with modern vitality. - Dining: Enjoy the National Palace Museum's Jinghua Chinese cuisine and the diverse Taiwanese snacks at Shilin Night Market. Even the underground shopping mall is updated and air-conditioned. - Local Culture: Pray at Lungshan Temple, stroll along Tamsui Old Street, and experience the trendy atmosphere of Ximending. 👀 Recommended Attractions 1⃣ The National Palace Museum in Taipei This fusion of ancient and modern architecture boasts a rich collection. National treasures like the Jadeite Cabbage and the Meat-Shaped Stone are definitely highlights. (But be warned: some exhibits rotate. For example, the Jadeite Cabbage was on display in Penghu this time, so I didn't see it. Be sure to check exhibit updates before your trip to avoid missing out!) - Address: No. 221, Section 2, Zhishan Road, Shilin District, Taipei City - Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Closed Mondays, ticket sales until 4:30 PM) - Admission: NT$36 2⃣ Palace Museum Regent Tea If you're tired of visiting the museum, the popular Palace Museum Regent is right next door. Signature dishes like Jade Cabbage and Superior Soup Dumplings are incredibly creative, deeply transforming national treasures into gourmet dishes. The elegant environment and consistently high-quality food make it a highly recommended spot for a family or friends. - Address: No. 221, Section 2, Zhishan Road - Recommended Dishes: Jade Cabbage, Superior Soup Dumplings, Jade Shrimp Dumplings, Taiwanese Three-Cup Chicken 3⃣ Ximen Red House This collection of historic buildings, cultural and creative shops, and cafes makes it a must-see. Visit on weekends at dusk for the best atmosphere, with frequent exhibitions and market events. Take a stroll and savor the "Taiwanese-style Western" experience. - Address: No. 10 Chengdu Road - Opening Hours: Tuesday-Thursday 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM; Friday/Sunday 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM; Closed Monday 4⃣ Presidential Office Building A Taipei landmark, symbolizing history and political and economic brilliance. A must-see for exterior photography, it's recommended to visit in the morning. Reservations are required. - Address: No. 122, Section 1, Chongqing South Road - Opening Hours: Saturday-Sunday 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM 5⃣ Longshan Temple in Wanjia A popular place for praying for peace and good fortune, it's bustling with incense. If you have time, sit quietly and soak up the atmosphere. The atmosphere is completely different during the day and at night, so we recommend visiting both. - Address: No. 211, Guangzhou Street - Opening Hours: 9:30-11:00, 1:30-15:00, 19:00-20:30 6⃣ Shilin Night Market A must-visit during dinnertime. The underground food court has just been renovated, with comfortable air conditioning and a clean environment, making it a joy to browse. Long lines await for fried chicken cutlets, small and large intestine wrapped in large intestine, oyster omelets, tofu pudding desserts...so many choices! Tip: The food court is brightly decorated, so you can sit and relax in the air conditioning after a long day. 7⃣ Ximending Taipei's youngest and most vibrant shopping district, offering everything from fashion and anime to trendy brands, pour-over coffee shops, and all kinds of snacks. Watching the young people's fashion style is incredibly inspiring! ✈️ Useful Transportation & Travel Tips - Most attractions in downtown Taipei are accessible by MRT or bus, making travel convenient and driving a breeze. - It's recommended to arrive at the night market around dusk to avoid peak crowds; it's recommended to purchase tickets in advance for the National Palace Museum, as it can be quite crowded. - Ximending, the Red House, Lungshan Temple, and Shilin Night Market are all located near the MRT and can be easily reached by walking or transferring. - For a complete tour of the National Palace Museum, it's recommended to start early in the morning, have lunch at the National Palace Museum Regent before exploring the other exhibition halls. 🍽️ Quick Food Recommendations - National Palace Museum Regent: High-end Chinese cuisine within the museum, featuring national treasure cuisine. - Shilin Night Market Basement Food Court: Authentic Taiwanese snacks in an upgraded atmosphere. - Ximending Street Food: Milk tea, takoyaki, and chicken skewers. Tip Summary - Check exhibit loan/rotation availability in advance to avoid wasted trips! - The night market's new renovations are perfect for a relaxing and clean experience. - You absolutely have to experience Longshan Temple both morning and night; the atmosphere is completely different. In Taipei, you can spend a day enjoying the arts, eating at night markets, touring historical sites, and taking a leisurely stroll outdoors—you'll never get tired of it!
