What to do and see in New Taipei, Taiwan: The Best Scenic Walking Areas

July 5, 2021 Alice Mieles

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.

The Lin Family Mansion and Garden

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.

Yinhe Cave

Reviewed By Ericaboo - Calgary, Canada

This was not an easy feat for me. This took me a long long time to get here. My hotel was smack-dab in the middle of downtown Taipei. I am also not a hiker, and in the extreme heat and humidity it took a toll. From my hotel it took me two train rides, a 30 minute gondola ride, a 40 minute walk to get to the hiking trail and once at the hiking trail it took me another 25-30 minutes all the way up the steep steps to make it to the top. Needless to say I was drenched in my own sweat, but man oh man what a sight. Make sure to take about 3-4 bottles of water and some food to eat, also an umbrella for the sun and lots of bug spray, you WILL get eaten alive. I finally made it to the Yinhe Waterfall cave. It was suffice to say..amazingly beautiful. I used google maps all the way here for which trains to take and to stay on trail to the cave. I don't recommend tourists coming here when it is severely hot out as I felt like I was going to pass out but its definitely doable - just be careful and pack accordingly. A MUST SEE! I won't ever forget my time here.
