Taipei Zoo
Shifen Waterfall
Wear comfy shoes! The paths can get slippery with mist from the falls. I saw several people struggle in flip-flops and trust me you don't want to end up on a trip!
I recommend visiting early, like around 9 AM, to beat the crowds and catch the best light for photos. I came later and it was sooo packed!
My advice is to check the weather for rain before you go. The falls can be hidden in fog, and I missed a clear view because of it. So keep an eye out!
Sun Moon Lake
Taroco
Definitely pack some snacks and water! There aren't many food options inside Taroko, and you wouldn't want to waste time finding a place to eat when you could be hiking or enjoying the views.
I recommend visiting the Eternal Spring Shrine – it's breathtaking! Although it can get busy, the scenery is totally worth it. Just be ready to share that view with others!
Yangmingshan
Check out the hot springs, but do it early! They get super crowded by noon, and it's way nicer when the crowds thin out. I wish I had planned better!
Songshan Cultural and Creative Park
I think the night market nearby is a great spot to grab dinner after your visit. The food is delicious, trust me!
Grab a coffee at one of the cafes before you start your tour. The vibe is relaxing, and it really helped me get into the creative spirit of the place.
My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. There’s a lot of walking involved, and you’ll want to enjoy the beautiful architecture without sore feet!
If you’re short on time skip the workshops unless you’re really interested. I found the exhibitions more engaging plus they’re easier to explore quickly.
Daan Park
If you’re planning to rent bikes, check out the Taipei YouBike stations, they’re conveniently located near the park. Just remember to bring your EasyCard!
Bring a picnic blanket if you want to chill on the grass. It’s a great way to enjoy the scenery and save money on food. I wish I had brought mine.
Maple Garden
Wen-Xin Forest Park
Check the weather before you go. A sunny day makes a huge difference; you’ll enjoy the landscape and photo ops way more!
I highly recommend bringing a packed lunch. There are some lovely spots to sit and eat, and it'll save you from overpriced snacks in the park.
Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes! The paths are great for walking but can be long if you want to explore everything
Taichung Park
I recommend renting a bike if you're up for it! It's a fun way to see more of the park, but make sure to check the bike availability ahead of time. I had to wait a bit.
