Lin An Tai Historical House & Museum

One of the few remaining old Taipei homes, this charming building was meticulously dismantled and rebuilt on new land in 1984.

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

The Lin An-tai House is in Binjiang Park, it is quite easy to find and worth the walk from Yuanshan MRT Station on the Red (Tamshui-Xinyi) Line. This house is one of the oldest traditional houses in the Taipei area. It has been beautifully restored and gives a good idea of an ideal farming family house from days gone by. The house has an auspicious layout and good fengshui. It's cool in summer and warm in winter. The house, which is some 200 years old, is built in Fujian style, with red bricks and terra cotta tiles. It's well worth a visit.

Fine Arts Museum

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.

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

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.

National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine

This majestic shrine honors the Republic of China's war dead. Marvel at the soldiers' precision at the changing of the guard ceremony that occurs every hour.

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

The Martyrs' Shine commemorates at those soldiers who died in China's revolutionary wars in the 20th century. The Shrine is a fine structure, but the main attraction is the changing of the guard, every hour. This precision drill maneuver is a "must see" for visitors to Taipei.

Hsing Tian Kong

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Hsing Tian Gong honours Guan Yu, the patron saint of businessmen. The construction is relatively new; it was erected in 1967. "Ghost money" is no longer burnt at the temple, in an effort to reduce air pollution in the city. It is not as venerable as Lungshan Temple, but it is a lot cleaner.

Miramar Entertainment Park

Miramar Entertainment Complex is a shopping and entertainment destination. Find a mix of local and international brand stores plus a massive Ferris wheel, games, an IMAX theater, and restaurants.

Reviewed By matthewcN2216HB - Sydney, Australia

The Taiwanese are generally very well mannered, and the service in the whole shopping centre was no different. Has a plethora or stores and places to eat. The Ferris wheel helps too, but a good place to chill in the day and when dusk hits, you can make your way to the Shilin night market.

Miniatures Museum of Taiwan

The Miniatures Museum contains first-rate artwork produced by renowned artists from around the world. World-class in scale, the museum contains approximately 200 hundred assembled and ornamented works of art, including delightfully creative pieces such as architecturally-accurate dollhouses with full interior and exterior décor along with a diverse set of dreamy, exquisitely designed roomboxes.

Reviewed By KhinChong - Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

It's a must for collectors or miniatures lover. The details of these miniatures being displayed at the museum definitely worth your time and ticket fees. This museum is located on the basement of a commercial building, upon arriving to this building you will see a pillar with advertisement of this museum, surely you can see that walking towards the building using your google map or other apps. Once you read the entrance, you need to go downstairs and get your ticket, then the entrance is just next to the counter. This place will take 1hour to finish the tour depending on your speed and interest on these. I must say the details on these miniatures are just amazing, some are collected long ago and some are new, they also have a My Comic Era which you can enjoy collector's item of Ultraman and others.

Taipei Expo Park

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

The idea of a farmers' market, where producers sell direct to the public, is relatively new in Taipei, but it is catching on. There's lots of things to do and buy at the Expo weekend market. The honey is a bit pricey, but it's a natural product of Taiwan. The fruit comes in many varieties, some of which will seem a tad strange to newcomers to the island. What would a Taiwan market be without food? There's lots to eat. Youngsters will like the bouncy castle. The Expo weekend market has something for every family. It's at the Yuanshan MRT Station on the Red (Tamshui-Xinyi) Line.

Shuangcheng Street Night Market

Reviewed By CdnLovesTravel787 - Vancouver, Canada

Taipei is famous for night markets - both the famous ones like Shilin, Raohe, Ningxia and local ones within each neighborhood. Shuangcheng is a smaller, local night market which is just as vibrant as the famous ones. This night market was within walking distance in the area where I was staying. As I walked there, there were many small restaurants already lit up with many customers in them. This night market was also brightly lit up and you could see the bright lights from blocks away. The night market consisted or two rows of night market food carts offering all kinds of Taiwanese foods, with lots of tables and chairs for customers to sit and eat at. On either side of the carts there were stores and restaurants also selling goods and foods. About 7 pm, which is rush hour for Taipei, many locals were stopping at this market to pick up cooked foods to bring home for dinner. Many Taiwanese do not cook their own meals and find it much cheaper and easier to pick up cooked foods from local night markets like this one, for meals. I enjoyed looking at the excellent food offerings from each vendor, who specialized in their own type of foods and cooking. They were all busy and some had line ups at them even. Next to the market was a small park where a group of women were doing line dancing for exercise to music. This was also a playground for children during the day time, but since it was at night and very dark, there were not many children playing. This market area also had an adjacent, covered, tunnel like shopping area with many businesses which would be open during the day, but were closing at night. It would be fun to shop here first, then eat at the night market - to spend an afternoon and evening in this district.
