Top Culture in New Taipei City

Bring a portable charger! I turned my phone into a camera and GPS, and I ran out of battery pretty quickly. You don’t want to miss capturing the charming architecture.

I suggest following the locals when they line up at food stands. Their favorites are usually the best. I got caught up at a place that looked popular but was pretty disappointing.

I suggest checking the weather in advance; I went during a rain shower and it made walking around the gardens tough!

If you’re short on time, just focus on the main garden areas; some of the smaller paths can be skipped unless you want a longer stroll.

I suggest taking your time at the main hall - the architecture is really beautiful. Snap some photos, but also take a moment to soak in the details without rushing.
