In the past, when I passed the North Gate (Cheng'en Gate) by car, I would always rush to see the city gate, but I always felt that I should stop and learn about its history. This time, I will use my free time to appreciate the North Gate, which is the only remaining original city gate in the Minnan style and is also a historical landmark of Taipei. There are now historical sites near the city gate, such as the Ministry of Railways, Taipei Post Office, and the Western-style Buildings on Futai Street during the Qing Dynasty. You can spend 1 to 2 hours checking in and taking photos at these attractions. It is one of the attractions worth visiting. #Local Tour

Accommodation name: City Suites Beimen Accommodation address: No. 265, Chang'an West Road, Datong District, Taipei City Nearby attractions: Beimen, Dadaocheng, Taipei Main Station Y District Underground Street City Suites Beimen is located near the MRT Beimen Station. It can be reached within 5 minutes on foot. If you get off at Taipei Main Station, You can also walk directly up through the Y District underground street. The branches of the City Hotel series are all near the rear station area. Although the Station Front Pavilion and the North Gate Pavilion are very close, But there are still slight differences in decoration style. The Beimen Pavilion may be located near Dadaocheng. The overall interior decoration has a retro industrial style. The wooden doorplate and decoration style are quite comfortable and textured. The hotel features a 24-hour electronic check-in system. Whether you are checking in or checking out, All can be seen through the tablet in the lobby on the first floor. No need to stay in a traditional hotel. If there happens to be no one at the counter, Or if there are too many people queuing for check-in, And delayed my original schedule, In addition, there is a free Nestle coffee machine on the first floor for unlimited use~ This time we stayed in a deluxe double room. Although the room is not large, it has everything you need. Large flat-screen TV with a wide selection of channels. There is a soft and comfortable extra large double bed. Just like the comfortable enjoyment at home~ The only downside is that the sound insulation is not very good. Sometimes there are sounds of doors opening and closing or corridors coming in from the neighbors. Everyone can hear it clearly. But at least it’s not to the point where you can hear people talking in the next room. What is more special is that perhaps it is due to the design of the room. The toilet and shower area are separated! ? But also because of this complete separation of dry and wet, You don’t have to worry about getting the toilet bowl wet when you take a shower. Or avoid the embarrassment of wanting to go to the toilet when someone is taking a shower. In terms of the overall accommodation experience, the CP value is actually very high. After all, in Taipei on holidays, You can stay in such a hotel for less than 1500. In fact, it’s already very good. It’s a pity that the sound insulation is a little bit poor! #Taipei Accommodation

The Taipei Memory Warehouse is a small museum that collects the history of Taipei City and contains the memories of many people. The purpose of this visit was to listen to Professor Li Dongming’s lecture on the historical features of the “Polier Road Western Food and Coffee House,” the only remaining historical memory in Taipei. This cafe is also the place where my parents had their first date and fell in love, so it is very meaningful to me. From Professor Li’s speech, I learned about the rise and fall of the business by three generations of successors, and also understood the cultural symbolic significance of the design, decoration and food of this building. If I have the chance, I will bring my parents to the old store to relive the good memories of the past 💖🌹😍 #PolieruWesternCoffee #Taipei Memory Warehouse #100YearsPoliiRoad

#2月好地方2025 Taipei Lantern Festival I traveled to Taiwan with my family during the New Year and happened to encounter the Taipei Lantern Festival held in Beimen. The Lantern Festival is definitely a great place to travel to, which will bring the New Year atmosphere to the fullest. It’s my first time watching the Lantern Festival in Taipei. The materials they use seem to be different from what we saw in Hong Kong. Why do they have a fuzzy feel? There are many snake shapes. #TaipeiTravel #TaipeiLanternFestival #SpecialEvents

#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent #BubbleTeaRestaurant This is a bubble tea shop in Taipei Main Station. The name is Coco. I ordered a mango smoothie bubble tea, and it had a whole fresh mango in it, but it didn't even cost 4,000 won. I bought bubble tea here when I was going to take the airport rail and drank it on my way to the airport rail boarding gate.

#August2024 There are many beautiful cafes in Taipei in recent years. Some styles are also unique ✨ Like the one introduced this time in Beimen District As soon as I sat down, I was deeply attracted by the Moto on the wall. "Who says 🐖 can't be the protagonist?" I know this is a shop that specializes in hand-made pork chops. But it was morning when we came. I really want to eat egg pancakes~ So I clicked: Taro Cheese Omelette Can be served with salad or fries🥗 There are also many Mount Fuji-shaped ornaments here. Even the cup is a trapezoidal shape like Mount Fuji🗻 I wonder if the shop owner has any special connection with Mount Fuji. 📍Mount Fuji Pig Address: No. 36-1, Yanping South Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City

The North Gate of Taipei City, officially known as Cheng'en Gate or simply the North Gate, is a Qing Dynasty city gate building located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, Taiwan. It is the main gate of Taipei City. Located at the intersection of Zhongxiao West Road, Yanping South Road and Boai Road in Taipei City today, it was completed in the 10th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is the only one of the five major city gates of Taipei City that has completely preserved its original appearance during the city's construction. It is a representative work of Taiwan's new city gates and one of the few remaining Qing Dynasty buildings in Taipei City. There was originally an urn outside the gate, but it no longer exists.

#Overseas travel #Taipei #Taipei North Gate The only remaining city gate in Taipei that preserves its original form from the Qing Dynasty. It's hard to believe that this building was covered by an elevated highway just a few years ago~ There are many buildings from the Japanese colonial period around the North Gate, so it's good for a series of visits. In particular, the old buildings on this street look even more beautiful at night when they're lit up. There aren't many people in front of the North Gate, so it's quiet and comfortable to take pictures, but it's a little awkward to take a break because there aren't any snacks or anything nearby. Still, it's a pretty good place to take night shots.

City Hotel, No. 265, Chang'an West Road, Taiwan. Affordable price, nice environment, new facilities, good staff attitude, they will greet you when you go downstairs in the morning. The only drawback is that there is no window

The Taipei Underground Street that you walk out of Taipei MRT Beimen Station is the so-called Animation Festival. In addition to some restaurants, the biggest feature is that it is full of many installation arts. These installations are presented in birch, which makes you feel like you are abroad in 1 second. My favorite is this Japanese street. The whole thing looks very good to take pictures. This is good. There are probably seven or eight birds here that you can get close to take pictures. I believe that people who come in look very good. If you have a chance, come here to take pictures and give yourself a different trip to the Taipei Underground Street.
