Things to do in National Palace Museum

Our tour guide, David, was very enthusiastic and conversational. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared everything he knew. The next time I visit Taipei, I will definitely ask him to be my guide again.

Our day tour to Yangmingshan National Park and Beitou was the perfect escape from the city! The volcanic landscapes at Xiaoyoukeng and the lush greenery of the flower clock were breathtaking. We even got a chance to see some cherry blossoms. Ending the day in the peaceful, sulfurous atmosphere of the Beitou hot spring area was incredibly relaxing, eventhough it was really a foggy morning with some drizzle in yangmingshan. ​A special thank you to our guide, David, who was absolutely wonderful. David was knowledgeable about the geology and history of the area and ensured we had plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed. His friendly energy and helpful tips for the best photo spots made the day truly seamless. Highly recommend this tour, and definitely ask for David!

This past Tuesday (March 26th) at 10 AM, my spouse and I experienced the National Palace Museum's Korean docent-guided tour, 'Gogung Museum Day Tour,' which we booked through Klook. It was truly one of the most enjoyable and informative experiences of our lives. The guide from 'Chakan Tour' (I believe that was the name?) who led our session was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in such an easy-to-understand way, extending the scheduled two-hour tour significantly. We are so grateful. Although my husband and I had to leave about five minutes early to attend the Shifen Sky Lantern Festival, the impression the tour left on us lingered for a long time. It was wonderful to hear explanations of Chinese history and the history of Korea's Gojoseon, as the guide's knowledge was far deeper than that of other guides. The way they connected the explanations to the museum artifacts made everything incredibly clear and easy to grasp. It was a truly beneficial experience. I apologize for not catching the guide's name clearly before the tour started, so I can't include it in this review. Nevertheless, we were so thankful that our first day tour in Taiwan began so wonderfully, thanks to that guide. Above all, we were deeply moved by their passionate and continuous explanations for over two hours. If anyone I know plans to visit the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, I would enthusiastically recommend this guide. It was truly the best docent tour of my life.

This was our second trip to Taiwan. We didn't get to visit a hot spring on our first trip, but this time, our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the Beitou outdoor hot springs. The outdoor bath at Spring City Hotel offered great value for money. We got off at Xinbeitou Station and walked up to Thermal Valley, enjoying the library and hot spring museum along the way. Finally, we put on our swimsuits and enjoyed the outdoor hot spring at Spring City Resort, then took the downhill shuttle to Beitou Station this time. The itinerary was excellent! Highly recommended for its great value! If you have the time, you should definitely go.

David was so informative and easy to talk to! He even lent me a bottle of warm water because it was freezing and I only had on a layered jacket and a skirt 🥶🫣 We had a great time, even if some spots were chilly and a bit foggy! We were also in awe that we got to ride in a Mercedes-Benz throughout the trip plus our driver (forgot to ask his name) was very accommodating and always smiled at us; he even also lent us an umbrella since we hadn't expected the weather that day 😬

The environment is absolutely fantastic! Therapist #9 was very friendly and I highly recommend them. The value for money is excellent! I'll definitely be back again.

It was a wonderful retreat to relax and destress. Soaking in hot sulfur water was just what we needed.
