How can you not visit the National Palace Museum when you come to Taipei!
There were so many people
It’s a pity that the braised pork was not on display today, and everyone lined up in an orderly manner to take pictures of the cabbage.
It costs NT$150 to rent a guide, which is very good.
If you want to visit carefully, you need a whole day.
The inconvenience is that the food supplies inside are a bit expensive.
Finally, I bought a lot of souvenirs in the cultural and creative goods store, which is so unique.

Easy to use and save you time as you don't need to wait in line to buy a ticket. Overall experience was okay but not spectacular. Observatory for me personally was not worth it as you see the same view. There are many nice decorations to make a picture for Instagram, etc, but I don't do that on my trips, so it depends on your personality to visit observatory or not.
Great place for photos and time lapse videos, but that's it they provide the experience showing the scenery of Taipei

Yehliu Geopark is located in Wanli District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. Yehliu is a cape (Datun Mountain System) protruding from the sea, about 1,700 meters long.
Yehliu Geopark, due to the effects of sea erosion, weathering and crustal movement, has created a series of unique landscapes such as sea caves, honeycomb stones, candle-shaped stones, tofu stones, mushroom-shaped rocks, potholes, and dissolution plates.
The most famous thing in Yehliu Park is the Queen's Head. You have to queue up to take pictures, so you can only look at it from a distance. But in fact, some of the trails inside are also very comfortable, with birds singing in the mountains and rich vegetation. But you must apply insect repellent in advance, the insects here are too fierce!
The scenery at the end of the seaside is really beautiful!

It is very easy to use for all locations. Just scan a QR code, and you will get a ticket. I used it for the ropeway first. The views are very nice and breathtaking. Be aware of the weather there as it might get cloudy and rainy on some days. Boat is using a ferry service and goes to the other two locations so you can see the temple and each side of the lake. Renting a bike was also very easy. They offered me an electrical buy if I wanted to go around the lake, but I sticked with a normal one and went around the lake anyway. It took me about 2.5 hours and a bit of effort to do so as at some parts you have to go up on a steep hill.
Very easy to use, just follow the instructions. I used electronic QR code for trip forward and back. It's very easy to navigate in the high-speed rail station, just go down and look for exit gate no. 5. My suggestion is to wait in a queue no matter when the bus is arriving as there are no reserved seats, so you might not get a seat for the first bus. My mistake was that I saw the buss is coming in 16 minutes and there were only 4 people in the line so I went to a restroom and when I came back there were 25 people in front of me and at the end I didn't get a seat and needed to wait for the another bus. They way back was also not complicated as the station is small and is a clear lane for the bus going back. Just use a QR, which you redeem on the same day as your trip when boarding the bus.

Taipei 101 is undeniably one of the most iconic landmarks in Taiwan and a must-visit for anyone traveling to Taipei. The panoramic views from the observatory are absolutely breathtaking — but only if the weather cooperates. Be sure to check the weather forecast before heading over; visiting on a foggy day can mean you end up staring into a wall of clouds instead of the city skyline. Aim for a clear day to get the best experience.It’s also a good idea to go in the morning or early evening, as the afternoon hours can get quite crowded with tour groups. Despite the crowds, the visit is still very much worth it. Taipei 101 isn’t just about the view — the tower also features interesting and well-presented educational exhibits about the building’s unique engineering, especially its mass damper system, which helps stabilize the skyscraper during earthquakes and typhoons.
got this when there was a 1 for 1 promotion, fuss-free and quick redemption as well. only con was that it was cloudy the day we went and we couldnt catch the sunset

Jiufen Old Street is located in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. It was prosperous in the early days due to gold mining, and later gained attention again because of the filming location of the movie "A City of Sadness". The old street retains the architectural style of the Japanese colonial period. The houses are built on the mountain, forming a unique landscape of narrow streets and steep stone steps.

Best combo ticket ever! You can visit the Taipei zoo, cable cars and the Taipei 101 observation deck. Buy online and receive three QR codes, one for each place. Really efficient and great value for money!
Stepping into Taipei Zoo, it is like a wonderful natural exploration journey. The layout is clever, according to the geographical ecological partition, the Asian tropical rainforest area is lush, water vapor, Malay lizard, Asian elephant and other animals live at ease; Australia's animal area is full of unique creatures, kangaroos jumping, koalas dozing. The popular science signs in the park can be seen everywhere, introducing animal habits, living environment, and parents who bring children are patiently explaining to children and letting knowledge be passed on in interaction. The most memorable thing is to see the "tuan" and "round", which are very caring for pandas from the mainland. They are sloppy, or eat bamboo, or lazy to roll, and the cute look makes tourists laugh and draws closer to the emotions on both sides of the Straits. Walking in the garden, not only can enjoy the animals, but also feel the garden's care for the animals, and the importance of science education, is a full and warm travel.

Shilin Night Market was founded in 1909. It was originally a cargo distribution center at the Keelung River ferry. Now it has become one of the largest night markets in Taipei. The main part of the night market consists of a temporary centralized market opposite the MRT Jiantan Station and an open-air commercial area centered on the Yangming Theater. It covers more than ten streets including Jihe Road and Wenlin Road, with an average daily passenger flow of more than 10,000 people.

You can enjoy the scenery of Taipei City by taking the cable car. There is also greenery along the way. The wind on the mountain is relatively strong and it feels cool. There are many shops selling tea, and the shop assistants are warm and friendly.
The air up there is very good. It is easy to travel by Maokong Gondola. It takes about half an hour to get to the top. It is very convenient.
