You can eat very well—and very cheaply—in Taipei. The restaurants may not look posh, but the quality of the food is superlative. And there’s a huge variety of restaurants—in addition to local Taiwanese specialties, you’ll find regional cuisines from all over China, as well as great Indian, Japanese and even Italian options. Just make sure to leave some room for snacks—street-vendor food here is addictive.

dedicated to Paosheng Tati, the God of Medicine
We visited this temple after visiting the Confucious temple nearby. The temple looks old with intricate carvings and ornaments on the roof. Many people prayed here and it was fairly smoky due to the many burning joss sticks.

English mass is on sunday 9.45am. It is a short walking distance from Dongmen Station exit 5, next to Xinsheng Elementary School. We used google map to navigate but unfortunately we started from Daan station. It took us a good 30 mins walk or maybe longer only to realise mass was over. We did not enter the church as there was an ongoing chinese mass. But from the booklet on the church there are 18 stained glass windows painted by french artist. Church was completed in 1878. Statue of Our Lady came from Belgium. There were also a Nativity manger prepared foe Xmas when we were there -15 Dec 2019. We will visit again now that we know how to get there and the english mass schedule.

Nangang is the most northern station of the HSR system, and is a new great station. There is also a courtyard hotel in the station which is very convenient.

Beautifully laid out, this museum gives voice to an underrepresented group of war victims: women forced into sexual slavery to satisfy Japanese soldiers during WWII. It’s small, so it won’t take up too much of your time, and is an artfully presented exhibit of a barbaric piece of history.

Even it was pricey at USD66 for two adults and two kids, especially because we only stopped by for two hours... I can imagine it'll be very worth it if you spend an entire day here (unlimited entry) in this three-storey building. It's rather new and the quality of the activities are good. We really liked that they brought many outdoor experiences indoor... which makes sense since it rains almost all year round here and they also made those activities safe for younger kids. Our four year-old could experience simulated canoeing, ziplining and rock-climbing. Take note: I remembered there is an age/height limit for some of these activities... probably four years old or a larger three year-old. On the role-playing end, they have a "farmer's market" which is rather commonplace but nonetheless still a favourite among girls. The role-playing that's more unique was their campsite where they have a simulated tent and bonfire, "wild creatures" like foxes and owls all in the confines of a dark room to let you feel like you're doing night camping in the wild! One of the most memorable was their craft section - we had so much fun and bonding while we painted on easels, on a large bear sculpture, graffiti on glass, and even calligraphy! The center is generous and thoughtful to provide so many craft materials that we could stick or stamp on to create different art effects. Right beside this area was their DIY smoking bubbles area... pretty fun too! The toddlers' area on the ground floor right beside the cafe (thoughtful layout there) was rather basic and a bit boring --- just some scarf suction tubes, rocking horses, some books... The cafe has some healthy food options and good coffee, so parents, here's your little haven while your kids play. We recommend going on a weekday morning, and if you're foodies like us, you should definitely enjoy some Yong He Dou Jiang Wang (King of Soy Milk) which was just a few minutes walk away. We had a very satisfying breakfast before coming over as one of the first few customers! I believe it'll be crowded on weekends!

This extraordinary collection of historic art treasures, fascinating for its depth and breadth, has miraculously escaped destruction over hundreds of years. Some pieces date back to the tenth century.
The National Palace Museum houses 700,000 Chinese imperial artifacts and artworks providing a fascinating glimpse into China's past. Most of the collection are high quality pieces collected by China's emperors. Removed from mainland China to be protected from Japanese & Communist invaders. The age and breadth of the collection of bronze art, jade art, porcelain, stonework, jewelry, calligraphy and so much more A Special Treasures Room holds an intricately carved jade cabbage from Consort Jin’s dowry (1889) priceless ceramics, jade and ivory carvings, jewelry, furniture, & painted screens from the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911. Even for those with little interest in history will find this museum fascinating. The museum gets very crowded and receives many tour buses daily.

The twentieth-century collection housed at this art museum nestles chronologically between the ancient works in the National Palace Museum and the new works in the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
When the Fine Arts Museum opened in 1983, it was a cause for great joy among art lovers. Initially, it sought to develop modern art appreciation in Taiwan, revealing many works that had not previously been seen, such as Modernist art from the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945). Many of the paintings were in Impressionist style, and were quite beautiful. As the Museum developed its collection, it sought to enhance a cross fertilization between Taiwan and foreign artists. Some of the visiting exhibitions are interesting. Although the Fine Arts Museum has had its share of controversies, it is a boon to Taipei's art lovers.
