Things to do in Taipei

The queue is fast moving and line is not that long when we visit Maokong Gondola. You just need to pay additional 50ntd if you want to experience Crystal gondola. We booked the same day to make sure that it is operational and we got booking confirmation right away.

One of the highlights of my trip! I got to see the adorable little penguins and ride the cable car, which was such a fun experience. The place is quite big, so it’s best to set aside a whole day to explore all the areas. The animals looked well cared for, and the staff were all kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely visit again when I come back!

Today is Saturday. Although it rained in the morning, the weather cleared up after noon. My dad and I decided to take the kids to the dinosaur exhibition in Guandu. Thanks to Klook for letting us buy pre-sale tickets, which saved us a lot of money! We rushed there directly on the first day of the opening, but there were too many people at that time, so we didn't go in. Today is the start of winter vacation. When we went at noon, there weren't as many people as on the first day. We got in within 20 minutes of waiting in line for a number, which was fast. It's amazing that all the dinosaurs inside move. The kids were stunned and learned a lot about dinosaurs. The T-Rex is really big! The whole venue is spacious and comfortable to walk around, and the staff controlled the number of people, so it didn't feel too crowded. When we entered, we got some points first. The trampoline part costs one point per person, which is an extra charge. If two kids go, you may have to pay extra to ride the trampoline. In addition, the dinosaur riding part is also very novel and interesting. We also saw two T-Rexes fighting directly, which was very realistic. The weather was great today, and the photos turned out beautifully. It was the first time seeing such a realistic dinosaur exhibition, and the kids loved it overall!

Fun day here at Taipei Amusement Park! Redeeming is easy, you just need to go to the information center and scan your qr code to get the wrist ticket. The park is huge with multiple floors. They have indoor playgrounds, and so many rides. It also has a food court with different selections. Complete with washing areas for kids. Very enjoyable and affordable.

Our tour guide Eva Lin made our tour great. She manage our itinerary very well, making sure that we can enjoy more time in each attraction with less crowds. She knows the history of every place we've visited and she is very accomodating in everything we ask. She is always smiling. We enjoyed our stay in Jiufen old street and shife. highly recommended.

Even though there were a lof of visitors, the staff and crew were still very friendly and managed the whole crowd that there were limited views of Taipei because it was foggy. Still very nice to experience to go up to 89F within seconds. Amazing technology!

We used the Korean audio guide at the National Palace Museum, and I think other languages would be the same way, entering numbers... but there were many things without numbers, and the famous Dongpo pork wasn't there. The cabbage was on display, but there was no number written on it, but my daughter accidentally pressed 333 and the explanation came on, haha. If you just walk by without an explanation, you wouldn't know what it is, so we used the audio guide, but it wasn't very helpful and it was hard to concentrate. It would be more convenient and faster to look at it with a translator.

I can't describe how much I like and look forward to Mika Ninagawa's exhibition. It's not just because of the visual effects of the photos, but really, after walking in, that moment, my heart skips a beat. She's not using the pictures to speak, she's directly pouring emotions into your eyes. At that moment, I felt like little elves were jumping in my eyes. It's a state where the vision is awakened and the senses come alive.

The Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Special Exhibition is a captivating experience. The artwork and immersive displays beautifully showcase the series' themes, leaving fans inspired and eager for more. Highly recommend!
