Visiting Taipei? Don't limit your sightseeing to the city center. Also known as New Taipei City, Xinbei covers more than 2000 square kilometers of Taiwan, including coastlines, hot springs, temples, historic landmarks and more. At Yeliu Coast, strange and fascinating rock formations rise from the rocky coastline. The Lin Ben-Yuan Family Abode and Garden is a tranquil place featuring graceful Chinese landscaping.

Experience the ancient traditions of Chinese landscaping with the majestic home of the Lin family. A pond, square pavilion and ornamental plants such as cypress, plum and bamboo adorn the majestic garden. Each Chinese New Year there is a chrysanthemum exhibit.
I had a few hours to spare when last in Taipei so I visited the Lin family mansion and this used to be one of the major landmarks in its hey day. Lovely gardens and paths with classical old residences. I wouldn't say its drop dead impressive but glad I visited all the same. There is an NT$80 (US$2.50) entry fee. To get there get of the MRT at Fuzhong station (Blue line station6). Walk along Fuzhong road and turn right on Wenchang road then left at Ximen street. The mansion is only a minute walk from there. In closing I also liked the fact that the crowds were small and the few that were there can easily be avoided as the grounds are quite large. Hope this helps.

On a recent trip to Taiwan,Republic of China-ROC we visited the beautiful "The Xuan Zang Temple" and traveled on the rail system to the Ruifang Station to visit the Ruifang District. At each of these locations the visitors centers offered interesting stamps for visitors as a momento of their visit.We found them to be fascinating- I have images of those beautiful stamps. . . . . #ruifang #ruifangstation #ruifangdistrict #taiwan #taiwanroc #xuanzangtemple #templesoftaiwan #waynesalvatti #visittaiwan #instataiwan #taiwanhighspeedrail #taichung #jiufen #jiufendistrict

The Gold Museum shows how cruel Japanese were to British POWs. It was one of the main highlights of this Museum. Of course, in WW2, Japanese POWs were treated much worse in other frontline by Americans or British, but they keep quiet. It's fun to see the exhibitions that show Japanese human rights violation always. Chinese tourists must be satisfied with this reproach to Japan. On the other hand, Japanese family who were there looked feeling down. Very good exhibition to keep Japanese tourists away from this attractive tourist destination !! All Taiwanese city officers must come to this museum to know how to avoid Japanese tourists. 本黄金博物館では、日本軍による連合軍捕虜への虐待行為が非常に過激に展示されています。シンガポール陥落時に捕虜となった主には英国軍人への対応が非難されています。当時は現在のように人権が重視されない時代であり、もちろん日本人への白人社会の差別や、日本軍捕虜への徹底的な連合軍側による殺戮などもありました。その上で、70年以上も前の対応を改めて金採掘の博物館に大きく展示することには、その意図を感じずにはいられません。現在、訪問者の多くは日本に友好的でない国からの団体客であり、日本人旅行者への雰囲気も良好ではありません。敢えて日本人が訪問するべき場所ではないと考えます。
