2025 New Taipei City Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The predecessor of Mackay Memorial Hospital was the Huwei Mackay Medical Clinic, which was also the first and earliest Western hospital in northern Taiwan. It was planned and built by Dr. Mackay in 1879. It has now been transformed into the New Taipei City Tamsui Museum of History, which houses many medical instruments of the time and some brief introductions to Dr. Mackay. From the old photos in the museum, it can be seen that the Huwei Kai Medical Clinic looks almost exactly the same as it did back then, with no special changes. Although the museum is not large, it records Dr. Mackay's outstanding contributions not only to the Tamsui area but also to the medical and educational aspects of Taiwan. (20211211)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Bitan was once one of the eight major scenic spots in Taiwan, and is as famous as the Grand Hotel, Xiluo Bridge, Baguashan Giant Buddha, and Eluanbi. The Bitan Suspension Bridge across the Xindian River is the landmark of Bitan. This is also a good place for couples to talk about love. The quiet scenery of lakes and mountains and the Bitan Suspension Bridge are the reasons that attract tourists and couples to come here. You can also go boating on Xindian Creek. There are also cafes on the lakeshore. Occasional activities are also held in the lakeside square and along Xindian Creek. Bitan has a special charm after nightfall. The Bitan Suspension Bridge hangs in the night sky like a dream under the projection of lights. In addition to admiring the beautiful scenery of Bitan, we also come to collect the English words of Bitan. There is a ♥️-shaped English word Bitan on the lakeside square, and there is also a huge English word Bitan on the embankment roadside steps in front of the bus station. Although the weather was bad and it rained during this trip to Bitan, the beautiful scenery did not affect our good mood for traveling.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Bitan Suspension Bridge spanning the Xindian River is the landmark of Bitan and was once one of the eight scenic spots in Taiwan. The Bitan Suspension Bridge was built between June 1936 and completed in August 1937. It is 186.6 meters long, 3.5 meters wide, and has a 20-meter-high bridge tower. The bridge is a double-tower, double-hinged, single-span suspension bridge. On August 5, 2013, the New Taipei City Government announced that the Bitan Suspension Bridge was a municipal historic site. This 85-year-old suspension bridge has withstood numerous storms and earthquakes, but it still stands firm over the Xindian River. During this period, the cables have been replaced to ensure the safety of the bridge. If you come to Bitan and don’t walk on the suspension bridge, you can’t say you have been to Bitan. Standing on the suspension bridge and looking down at the scenery of Bitan is another kind of view. The lights projected on the bridge at night add a romantic atmosphere. It is no wonder that Bitan is a favorite date spot for many couples. The beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, coupled with the beauty of the Bitan Suspension Bridge, creates a great place for sightseeing and leisure for the entire area. (20211112)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 If you come to Tamsui and don’t eat a bowl of A Gei, it feels like you haven’t been to Tamsui. However, Tamsui A Gei is so famous that there are several of them along the riverbank trail alone. Of course, Internet information is very developed nowadays. If you want to inquire about any question, just search online and you will find the answer you want. We followed the map and came to the old A-gei store. What is A-gei? It is a tofu bun made by wrapping vermicelli with fried tofu and then sealing it with fish paste. The old shop is indeed well-deserved of its reputation for crowds, and is always full even during non-holiday periods. As for the taste of A Gei, some people like it and some think it’s just so-so. However, when you go to a tourist attraction, in addition to appreciating the local scenery, the next thing to do is to try the local food. This is the purpose of traveling. (20211112)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 In addition to eating at A-Ge, the main purpose of coming to Tamsui today is to find the English font of TAMSUI Tamsui. We walked along the river bank trail to the square in front of the golden waterfront, and saw the English words "Tamsui" carved out of marble. Golden Riverside is located on the bank of the Tamsui River behind Tamsui Old Street. The 1.5-kilometer-long riverside space was named "Golden Riverside" after the overall image engineering planning. From this golden waterfront, you can overlook Guanyin Mountain and Bali and the estuary of the Tamsui River on the opposite bank. In addition, at dusk, there are always many photography enthusiasts who come here to capture the beauty of the sunset. Of course, there are also many couples in love who come here to watch the sunset. Although the golden waterfront is not long, it is often crowded with people during holidays. This is the charm of Tamsui. (20211112)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Tamsui Christian Presbyterian Church, also known as Tamsui Chapel, is located just a few steps away from Huwei Medical Clinic. The church is a pseudo-Gothic architecture with the "Trinity" of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit on the front. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the founding of Tamsui Presbyterian Church, the first church established by Dr. Mackay in Taiwan on April 10, 1872. It is also the founding anniversary of the Tamsui Church. The exterior walls of the chapel are made of exposed bricks, while the interior is made of reinforced RC columns and floor slabs. The chapel still retains its original appearance, including the century-old bell, old organ, church building monument, seats, pulpit, communion table, etc. In addition to his contributions to medicine, Dr. Mackay also did not forget the missionary purpose of the Presbyterian Church of Canada. We would like to express our deepest respect for this foreign friend's selfless dedication. (20211112)

The Xizhi suburban area is known for its mountainous terrain, including several of Taiwan's "Small Hundred Peaks." Among them is "Dajian Mountain," named for its sharp, towering peak that seems to pierce the clouds. Also known as "Xiufeng Mountain" for its picturesque scenery, the mountain becomes a vibrant tapestry of colors every spring as cherry blossoms, osmanthus, azaleas, and sea mangoes bloom in succession, drawing numerous visitors to admire the flowers. There are several ways to hike Dajian Mountain. The most popular—and also the most challenging—route starts from the stone staircase trail next to Tianshou Temple. This path consists of a total of 1,145 steps leading to the summit, making it a true test of both stamina and endurance! If you're looking for a workout that leaves you sweating and feeling the burn, this is the route for you. Personally, I recommend taking the paved road along Qinjin Road. While this route is longer, it is much easier to walk and is lined with blooming cherry blossoms. The highlight is the stretch near the Maitreya Mountain Tiandao Monastery, where both sides of the road are flanked by a breathtaking sea of cherry blossoms. From the back of the monastery, you can reach the summit of Dajian Mountain. Take a moment to rest at the pavilion and enjoy the panoramic view of Taipei City and the cherry blossoms—it's absolutely stunning! For the descent, take the stone staircase back down to Tianshou Temple. This way, the return trip is more relaxed, sparing you from being out of breath or having wobbly legs.

The Banqiao Hilton Hotel, located near Banqiao Railway Station, has become the first choice of many travelers with its magnificent 32-story appearance and convenient transportation location. From the exterior design to the interior decoration, every detail exudes the noble atmosphere of a five-star hotel. As soon as you enter the hotel lobby, you can feel the luxurious atmosphere. Especially the extra-large, high-ceilinged hall. The spacious and bright space, coupled with gorgeous lighting and fashionable decorations, instantly immerses people in a luxurious style. Every corner is carefully designed, presenting a perfect combination of luxury and comfort In addition, the hotel is within walking distance to Banqiao Railway Station, which is convenient for both business and leisure.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The art gallery connects the square and the church, and the walls of the houses on both sides bear traces of demolished eaves. After searching online, I found out that the hall was originally a private house. Later, the town government planned it as an art landscape passage from Mackay Street to Zhongzheng Road, named "Art Hall". This is also the location of the "Chen Cheng-bo Outdoor Art Museum". On both sides of the hallway are Mr. Chen Cheng-bo's works and introductions. We are actually not unfamiliar with this painter and have often seen his works exhibited in the south. Although the space of the art gallery is not large and the works on display are outdoors, it does not affect the viewing pleasure. If you have time to come here, you might as well slow down and appreciate the 12 Tamsui landscape paintings created by Mr. Chen Chengbo, the first generation of Western painters in Taiwan, and lead everyone to explore the historical customs of ancient Tamsui.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 February to May every year is the best season to appreciate the Laomei Green Stone Trough at Cape Fugui on the North Coast. As the northeast monsoon gradually weakened, a large patch of green seaweed grew on the stone trough. It’s a pity that we came here during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. It’s also because of the longer consecutive holidays that we have more time to travel to Taipei from the south. Although it is already mid-June, you can still see some seaweed on the stone trough, but it is not very dense. The works of professional photographers can be seen on the Internet, in which the seaweed on the Laomei Green Stone Trough is photographed to look like a dream and a fairyland. The Laomei Green Stone Trough was once voted by CNN as one of the top eight private attractions in Taiwan. In addition to the Green Stone Trough, there is also an Laomei maze hidden in the Fuguijiao Park next to it. The Laomei maze is located on the prairie. If you go further up, you will reach the Fugui Cape Lighthouse, the northernmost tip of Taiwan Island. Don’t miss these attractions when you travel here~~~.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 I haven’t been to Bali for a long time. When I lived in Luzhou, I would come here from time to time to stroll around and see the scenery. After returning to the south, I rarely have the opportunity to come here. Now we can see that Bali Zuo'an Park is very beautifully planned. In addition to the beautiful scenery of the sunset, there are also many installation arts on site. Not only is it good for taking photos, there are also dedicated bicycle lanes, and the overall feeling is very comfortable. On the other side of the river is Tamsui. Bali cannot compare with it in terms of volume, but I personally think that the environment of Zuo'an Park is much better than that of Tamsui Golden Waterfront. There are many tourists and citizens in Zuo'an Park on weekdays and holidays. Especially on holidays, the tourists coming to Bali often block the roads. Seize this rare holiday opportunity to visit scenic spots in Tamsui and Bali Zuo'an, recall every bit of the past and keep these beautiful memories in your heart forever. (20211112)

We are Nicolena, a Japanese-Italian couple who love Asia and cost-effective travel✈︎ We compared 4 ways to get to Jiufen, a very popular spot in Taiwan😁 The distance from Taipei to Jiufen is about 1 to 1.5 hours one way👍 You can also make a day trip, but you should do your research carefully so you don't waste time getting lost or on the wrong train😉 There are 4 ways to get from Taipei to Jiufen: "bus", "train + bus or taxi", "taxi", and "local tour"✨ The most recommended way for first-timers in Taiwan is a local tour😆 You don't have to worry about getting lost or on the wrong train, and there are tours where you can listen to a guide's explanation, so you can deepen your understanding🙌 If you're going on your own, the bus is also highly recommended! It's easy because you can get there in one bus and you can catch it from a bus stop in central Taipei👍 You can take the 965 from MRT Ximen Station and MRT Beimen Station, and the 1062 from MRT Zhongxiao Fuxing Station😉 However, be careful because the 1062 has a timetable but the 965 doesn't👍 The train and transfer method is more difficult than a single bus, so it's probably not for beginners💦 But if you want to enjoy a train trip, it might be worth a try😉 #AsiaTravel #Taiwan #TaiwanTrip #TaiwanTourism #Jiufen #JiufenOldStreet #JiufenTourism #Jiufen #JiufenOldStreet #Taipei #TaipeiTrip #HowToGetToJiufen #OverseasTrip #OverseasTripTrip

Qitang Old Street in Jinguashi, Ruifang, New Taipei City, boasts a history of over a century. Known for its tranquil and nostalgic atmosphere, it has remained largely untouched by commercialization. Recently, it has gained popularity due to the vibrant Rainbow Stairs. Located above the Gold Museum, this area was once a bustling commercial hub for miners during the Japanese colonial period. It was established as a settlement for Taiwanese miners leasing land from Japanese mining companies. Often referred to as "Jinguashi Ginza" or "Jinguashi Old Street," the settlement was built along the mountain slopes. While some residents still live here, the area retains its original charm as a mountain town, offering a stark contrast to the more commercialized Jiufen Old Street. Both Qitang Old Street and Jiufen Old Street are mountain towns that thrived as commercial centers during the mining boom. However, with the decline of the mining industry and population migration, Qitang Old Street has become a quieter destination. Visitors can explore its unique Japanese-style architecture, wander through the mountain paths, and soak in the nostalgic ambiance. Although the street no longer sees the bustling activity of its heyday, a few shops, such as general stores and cafes, remain open, allowing visitors to enjoy a peaceful stroll and experience the serene beauty distinct from Jiufen. 📍Address: No. 165, Qitang Road, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, 224

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 50th Floor Café Buffet is located on Xinzhan Road, Banqiao District, New Taipei City, just a few minutes' walk from Banqiao New Station. It is also a good choice for enjoying the night view of New Taipei City and Taipei City. The Banqiao New Station area can be said to be the first-tier battle zone for restaurants and hotels in Banqiao District. All restaurants are doing their best to attract customers to consume. The location of the 50th floor Café Buffet has many advantages. In addition to being close to Banqiao New Station, the restaurant's location on the 50th floor is definitely its biggest selling point. In addition, at the price of a child's ticket, you can enjoy steak, seafood, sashimi, cooked food, desserts and other delicacies. The restaurant offers a distant view of Taipei 101. Customers can enjoy a sumptuous buffet while appreciating the night view downstairs. The lighting is beautiful and the atmosphere is great. If you want to eat delicious food and appreciate the beautiful night view, then come to the Café buffet on the 50th floor.

Finally waited for it! The Yingge Art Museum was open during the trial operation phase, and I immediately dragged my husband there to see the true face of this new cultural landmark. When I first saw the museum, I was amazed by its modern architectural design. Combining Yingge's local ceramic culture and natural environment, it is really a great place to take photos and check in. Transportation is also very convenient. Take the Taiwan Railway to Yingge Station, and walk about 15 minutes after exiting the station to arrive. There is also a parking lot nearby for car owners, and the traffic flow is clearly planned. The trial operation exhibition area currently includes contemporary art, ceramic installations, and digital interactive areas. Not only does it have a strong visual impact, but there are also many creations that make people think about "time, matter, and perception". It is worth slowly savoring. Don’t leave in a hurry if you are tired of shopping. There are many hipster coffee shops and pottery DIY shops next to the art museum where you can slowly explore. You can also visit Yingge Old Street to eat a bowl of hot tofu pudding. 🎫Tickets are currently free (during the trial operation period). It is recommended to come on weekdays when there are fewer people so you can enjoy the view slowly. The official opening is expected in the second half of the year, when there will probably be more exhibitions and activities. #Yingge Art Museum #Taiwan New Attractions #Art Museum Control #Ceramic Capital #Yingge Day Tour #Yingge Trial Operation #New Taipei Attractions Recommendation #Art Exhibition #Literary Travel #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf is located on the right bank of the Tamsui River estuary in Tamsui District, New Taipei City. It is famous for its sunset glow. Formerly known as Tamsui Second Fishing Port, it was started in 1978 and completed in 1987. It has a land area of ​​about 15 hectares and a water area of ​​about 11 hectares, totaling 26 hectares. There are many art installations in the area that are great places to take photos and check in. The most popular place for couples is the white Lover's Bridge. The poetic name is coupled with the Tamsui Twilight, which is known as one of the eight scenic spots in Taiwan. The combination of the bridge and the twilight adds a romantic atmosphere to the area.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Sandiaojiao Lighthouse is located in Gongliao District, New Taipei City. The Sandiaojiao Lighthouse was built in 1935. The tower is 16.5 meters high and stands on the easternmost cape facing the Pacific Ocean. Sandiao Cape is not only the easternmost point of Taiwan, but also the starting point of the Snow Mountain Range and the confluence of ocean currents. The Sandiao Cape Lighthouse has an arc-shaped white tower. The lighthouse flashes white and red twice every 28 seconds to guide sailing ships and is known as the Eyes of Taiwan. There is an exhibition hall inside and a showroom under the main body of the lighthouse, which displays historical relics such as the distribution map of lighthouses across the country and lighthouse stamps issued by the post office. In 1992, at the request of the local authorities, the tower area was opened to the public for visits. Behind the lighthouse, there is a small mountain road about 250 meters long that leads to a viewing platform where you can enjoy the magnificent Pacific Ocean view.

Fuguijiao Lighthouse, located in Shimen District, New Taipei City, is an octagonal concrete structure with black and white stripes. It is the northernmost lighthouse on Taiwan's main island. The lighthouse was completed in 1897 and was rebuilt in 1962 into its current octagonal shape. Initially, the lighthouse was not open to the public, but it has been accessible since 2015, although the lantern room remains closed to visitors. From the observation deck, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Taiwan Strait. During the day, you can see the blue sea and sky, and at dusk, you can witness the spectacular sight of the sun setting behind the lighthouse, creating the illusion of a giant flaming lamp.

Located not far from downtown Taipei, the Yinhe Cave Crossing Trail is a scenic and accessible hiking route. The overall distance is not long, and the path is lush with greenery, exuding a refreshing forest atmosphere. It is perfect for a day trip to get close to nature and relax. The initial section of the trail leading to Yinhe Cave is relatively damp, especially after rain when the ground can be slippery. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes and watch your step. Along the way, you will pass a small temple next to a waterfall. Continuing upwards, you will reach the final destination, the Yinhe Cave Lüzu Temple. The temple is built against the mountain and is adjacent to the waterfall, which is abundant in water and offers a magnificent view. This is one of the highlights of the entire trail. There are public restrooms next to the temple, providing convenience for travelers to take a break. If time permits, you can continue to Maokong, where you can enjoy tea in the tea gardens and then return via the Camphor Tree Trail. This is a suburban hiking route full of variety. Transportation Take the Taipei MRT to Xindian Station, then transfer to bus Green 15 (about once an hour). It is recommended to check the bus schedule before departure to ensure a smooth connection. The bus ride takes about 15 minutes, and after getting off, you need to walk a section of the road to reach the trailhead. The entire trail is mostly shaded, making it cooler. The initial section of the hike involves steep stairs, which are somewhat challenging but not difficult. Overall, the Yinhe Cave Crossing Trail is a great choice for both sightseeing and hiking. A light trip on the weekend to experience the natural charm of the suburbs is just perfect!

There is a private onsen pool, free shabu dinner, free breakfast 🍲✨ Let me tell you first that this place requires about 1 hour out of town. You can go back and forth or stay for 1 night. 🚌 📍 This area is called Wulai or Wulai. The highlight is the hot spring pool, beautiful waterfall, and there is a cafe with a view of the waterfall. It's very beautiful to take pictures. There are also some small activities like trams and cable cars! 🏘️ Let's get back to the accommodation first. 📍 The accommodation is called Sun Moon Bed & Breakfast (it's the same as Full Moon Spa, but the one I stayed at was cheaper, the room was smaller, but it had a private onsen in the room. The view might not be as beautiful.) 💖 The room was very clean, both the bed and bathroom area. It was okay. It didn't smell, wasn't stuffy, and wasn't dusty. The onsen pool was clean, but there were some insects outside. They didn't come into the room. 💖 The onsen pool doesn't have water. If you want to soak, call the staff to release water into the pool. It will turn on automatically. It's good that it's not dirty. 💖 The staff is very good service, very kind, came to send to the room, recommended, very good service, not bad 💖 The main highlight is that the accommodation has a free shabu dinner, very full, and also includes breakfast (really like this) 🚌 Travel **Recommended to read from this post** 💖 No matter where you stay, please start at 'Metro Main Station' first 💖 Then walk to the bus at 'Taipei Main Station (Qingdau)' >> Search for this name on Google Maps and walk from the metro. Take bus number 849 💖 Ride for about 66 points, takes about 1.5 hours, get off at 'Wulai Terminal Station' 💖 Then open the map, walk to the accommodation + walk to find something to eat + walk to get on the tram! *** Go and return, get on and off at this station. I recommend not following Google Maps if the map tells you to take the metro to get off at Xintian Station because it will be a station that appears halfway through the bus. It will make us get on the bus without a seat. Therefore, it is better to sit from the beginning as mentioned above.*** 💸 The room price is around 3,000 baht (weekdays)💸 I can't remember the bus price, but it's not expensive. You can tap the easycard. This is another place I would like to recommend for anyone who plans to visit Taiwan but doesn't want to stay in the city. You can come for a round trip or stay for 1 night. You can come to breathe in the air and soak in the hot springs and let your heart go. 💦💧🩵 #Taiwan2024 #TaiwanReview #TaiwanReview2024 #WhereToGoInTaiwan #Wulai #wulaiwaterfalls #TaiwanCafe #WulaiCafe #TaiwanAttractions

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Yingge Ceramics Museum is located in Yingge District, New Taipei City. The entire museum covers an area of ​​12 hectares. The museum was established in November 2000 and is the first ceramics-themed museum in Taiwan. The main building is made of plain water and steel frame structure, and the whole glass design not only increases the light intake but also allows for inside and outside perspective. Yingge District is a major center for ceramic manufacturing in Taiwan, so it is a blessing for the Yingge District to be able to build an international ceramic museum in this place. The museum not only provides exhibitions and collections of ceramics, but also has the responsibility for educational promotion and academic research. There is also a rest area at the back of the museum, where there are also some ceramic art installations, and it is also a good place for children to play games.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Juming Museum is located in Jinshan District, New Taipei City. It was officially opened in 1999. The museum covers an area of ​​about 11 hectares and is divided into indoor exhibition area and outdoor sculpture exhibition area. The indoor exhibition area will change the works of artists with different themes from time to time, while the outdoor sculpture exhibition area is a regular exhibition area for Ju Ming's large-scale sculptures. Ju Ming's works can be divided into three series: Tai Chi Series, Human Series and Native Series. The Tai Chi Series is especially popular with many art collectors and is reasonably priced. The concise and sharp knifework presents the essence of Tai Chi through its "form and meaning". The connotation of waiting for movement with stillness, defeating the big with the small, defeating the strong with the weak, and transforming the straight with the round is expressed vividly.

#BanqiaoAll You Can Eat #MarketFlavorYue Market #Xinban Hilton Yue Market has a new theme 🤩 From 03/25 to 04/30, we will create a new French-style feast food festival.

Near Banqiao Station, there are three connected hotels: Caesar, Hilton, and Q Square, making them excellent choices for staying while visiting New Taipei Christmasland. The transportation is extremely convenient with three rail systems integrated. Among them, Caesar and Hilton share a stunning rooftop glass canopy pool. This time, I stayed at the 'Caesar Park Hotel Banqiao' with an incredibly discounted price of 3467 TWD during the off-peak season, and got upgraded to a 40-square-meter Elite Double Room. It was a great deal. The room is very spacious, with a super comfortable sofa area by the window where you can easily fall asleep. The bed is soft and cozy, and there's even a separate dressing room, making great use of the space. Of course, there's also a bathtub for a relaxing soak. The value for money at Caesar is really high; I doubt you could get this price at the neighboring Hilton. The hotel has a Chinese restaurant and a Thai restaurant, offering a 20% discount for guests. The breakfast selection is also quite abundant, with a dedicated chef preparing Dan Zai noodles. The overall stay experience was very pleasant, and the price is super worth it.

Four Points by Sheraton Linkou is an excellent choice for those on a business trip to Linkou. The hotel is conveniently located near National Highway No. 1 and the Airport MRT station, making it easy to get around. It's also close to the Mitsui Outlet Park and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, offering great convenience for daily needs. Positioned as a business hotel, Four Points by Sheraton Linkou not only offers convenience but also features a surprisingly stylish design. The decor is modern and minimalist, with clever use of lines to create a chic and slightly tech-savvy atmosphere. I stayed in a deluxe room, which is about 40 square meters with a large TV, probably around 55 inches. The room rate is a bit pricey at over 6000 TWD per night without breakfast. For this price, you might consider staying at the Courtyard by Marriott in Nangang, which is more convenient. (Four Points Linkou does have a swimming pool, though.) I'm not very familiar with Linkou, but overall, the area is quite convenient with good living facilities. There are large hospitals and plenty of parks and green spaces. However, the downside is the climate, which tends to be humid and foggy.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Coming to Jiufen Old Street, it feels like walking into the anime world in Hayao Miyazaki's movie "Spirited Away". It feels so unreal.🏮🏮 Jiufen Old Street is located in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Taiwan that combines food, scenery and history. Jiufen at night is more beautiful as the night goes on. The countless lanterns on the stone steps and the lights on the streets at night make us feel like we are walking in another unreal world. (It is similar to the anime world of "Spirited Away", especially at A-Mei Tea House.) Jiufen attracts countless tourists from all over the world, so the rugged stairs along the way are full of people. Everyone walks and stops to take pictures 📷, hoping to leave such a beautiful memory. (Although there are many people, my love for Jiufen has not diminished.) Walking along Jiufen Old Street, there are many boutiques and snack bars, and they are basically crowded. I saw many small shops selling small boutiques of the faceless man in "Spirited Away", which is super cute😍. 🌟🌟🌟 Jiufen is a long way away, and there are several ways to get there. Most tourists charter a car for a day trip. Or you can join a one-day tour and take a tour bus directly. (But this kind of stay time is generally more limited 🚫) 🚌Transportation: 1-🚄Train: Take the train from Taipei Main Station to Ruifang Railway Station, then transfer to bus 788, 825 or 827 to reach Jiufen Old Street. Take the train from Taipei Main Station to Ruifang Railway Station, and then take a taxi directly. The fare is not expensive! 2-🚌Bus (Jiufen Bus) 1062 Highway Bus 🚇MRT Zhongxiao Fuxing Station——Jiufen Old Street——Jinguashi 🚇Exit 4 of Songshan MRT Station, turn right after exiting and look for the license plate number 1062 Bus Station——Ruifang Railway Station——Jiufen Old Street (Jiufen Old Street is always crowded with tourists on holidays or weekdays, so there is a chance of traffic jams when driving or taking the bus! The best suggestion is to take the train.) #jiufen #taipeiattractions #taipei #jiufenoldstreet

On the weekend morning, I was looking forward to the class with the new basketball coach, but I didn’t expect that the school had another project and couldn’t play basketball. I rushed to Neihu to see an ophthalmologist. The good news is that my son’s vision is still 1.0, so good☺️ When it rains, my husband immediately thinks of Sandiaoling. There are no crowds of people hiking, so it is indeed a good place to go on rainy days. The very distinctive "Kuan Ge's Place" in Sandiaoling is well-known and needs no introduction. If I continue to introduce it, there will be too many people and I will forget about coming 😅 This is not only a cafe, the food is also excellent, especially the freshly baked pizza, which will make people become regular customers after trying it. The store's decoration style is a mix of industrial retro and country style, full of personality and warmth. The bare concrete walls, iron frame ceiling and open counter create a casual yet detailed atmosphere. The most eye-catching thing is the pink bicycle hanging on the beam, which adds vitality and fun to the space. The kiln oven is hidden behind the counter, revealing that this is not just a cafe, but also a place to enjoy delicious food. The bar counter is furnished with a blackboard handwritten menu, coffee utensils and books, giving people a strong sense of handcraft and humanistic atmosphere. The personalized collection elements make people feel that they are not just coming to eat and drink coffee, but more like exploring a space full of stories. The temperature is low today and it is drizzling, but we still choose to sit outside the store. We are surrounded by the smell of moist soil and the tranquility of the mountains and forests. It seems as if we are isolated from the world, with only us and the food in front of us. The pizza baked to order has a strong charcoal aroma and the crust is chewy. Today we ordered a spinach bacon pizza, which was delicious😋. I also ordered the Fireworks Italian Handmade Pasta, the noodles were chewy and slightly spicy overall. Needless to say, the French fries are sold out as soon as they are served. Feeling the beauty of food is the purest moment of happiness. #CafeFood #SanDiaoLing #KuanGeWhere #NewBeijingGoodPlace

#Taipei Attractions Although Yulong City has changed from Zaha Hadid's stunning masterpiece to an ordinary factory building, it has created a lot of topics since its opening with its reputation as "the largest Eslite Bookstore in Taiwan". The interior space was designed by Sanshi Architecture, which used high-ceiling space to create multiple arch shapes and a skylight that runs through the bookstore to create the momentum of a flagship store. Most of the brands inside the mall are available in Taipei city, such as NIKE, MUJI, UNIQLO, Global Work, etc., which are not very attractive to out-of-town customers. On the second day of trial operation, there was no buying spree by the public. The customer base is targeted at local residents of Xindian, and there is a certain guaranteed customer base. "The largest Eslite Life in Taiwan debuts: new look attracts attention" After a long wait, Taiwan’s largest Eslite Life is finally online! Looking back at its birth process, the Yulong City project has gone through many twists and turns. It was originally designed by the architectural master Zaha Hadid and should have been a stunning masterpiece, but in the end it looked like an almost ordinary factory building, which is really regrettable. But even so, relying on its famous reputation as "the largest Eslite Life in Taiwan", it caused quite a stir as soon as it opened and successfully created many topics. As soon as you step into it, you can feel the charm of the interior space carefully created by Sanshi Architecture. The high-ceiling design with multiple arch shapes is majestic and elegant. The light-filled skylight that runs through the bookstore is even more ingenious. The sunlight pours down, injecting vitality into the entire space, and the grand momentum of the flagship store is fully revealed. However, if you look closely at the brand layout in the mall, you will find that most of them, such as NIKE, MUJI, UNIQLO, Global Work, etc., have long been common in Taipei City. For foreign tourists, they lack sufficient novelty and appeal, and it is difficult to drive them to spend money on purchases. Even on the second day of the trial operation, there was no crazy buying spree among the public. Fortunately, Eslite Life is foresighted and has targeted the local residents of Xindian as its customer base. This group of stable customers has been guaranteed a bottom line. It remains to be seen how they will continue to shine in the commercial wave in the future. Whether it can break through the status quo and carve out a unique path in the homogeneous market competition remains to be seen how its subsequent operating strategies will be implemented.
