After a decade of planning and a budget of 3 billion NTD, the New Taipei City Art Museum in Yingge has finally opened its doors. Admission is free until the end of June, and for six consecutive weekends, visitors can enjoy performances and a 300-second fireworks show. Designed by architect Yao Ren-Xi, the building incorporates Sanxia red bricks and over 3,000 metal tubes symbolizing reeds. It is a rare example in Taiwan over the past 20 years of an art museum entirely led by local designers. The newly opened museum features four major exhibitions: "Radical City," "As Natural As It Gets," "Don’t Worry Baby" by Xindian Boy, and "Reflections of the Past." Among them, "Reflections of the Past" focuses on the history of New Taipei City, showcasing traces of urban development from Taipei County to New Taipei City through themes like textiles, ceramics, and mining, combined with works by artists. Another intriguing exhibit features canvas painted to resemble meat, vegetables, seafood, and other vibrant market scenes. The immersive "Xindian Boy No. 5" exhibition uses game engine digital projections contrasted with an old-media small house, creating fascinating interactions between virtual and real. Located next to Yingge Station, the museum connects to the old street and the Ceramics Museum, making it a perfect destination for a rich one-day itinerary. 📍Address: No. 300, Guanqian Road, Yingge District, New Taipei City, 239 🚗 A 5-minute walk from Taiwan Railways Yingge Station

#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.

#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)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Address: No. 300, Guanqian Road, Yingge District, New Taipei City Designed by renowned architect Yao Renxi, the New Taipei Museum of Art, located in Yingge, is based on the concept of reeds and is covered with more than 3,000 cylindrical aluminum tubes. Currently, only some exhibition areas are open. Because it is open for free trial operation, there is no admission fee before June 30th. Although the free exhibition is not a masterpiece, the whole space is beautiful. Come and take a look when there are not many people. The outdoor area also incorporates the sculpture art of Yingge ceramics, which is very suitable for children to be exposed to art and run, jump and release their energy.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.
