Things to do in Taipei 101

One of our group day-tours got cancelled, but we were still able to go to Taipei 101 since we reserved tickets. This was one the highlights of our trip to Taiwan. The tower itself is more beautiful and magnificent in person. Even looking up at it from the street was such a sight to see. YouTube videos and postcards do not do it justice. We had access to the 89th Obseravatory Floor and it was worth it. We were able to get pictures prior to getting on the elevator. The 89th floor offered 360 degree views of Taipei and it was glorious. We were there around 5:45 to 6:45 pm and that was perfect for a golden sunset. The floor had a flux of photogenic backgrounds and props, some adorable cafes and treats, a souvenir shop, the Tuned Mass Dumper section, and the elevators to go up and down the tower. This was an unforgettable experience and easily topped some of my prior tower visits in the USA.

The Fun Pass is really useful and great. However, if you try to enjoy all these benefits within a short schedule, your trip might become too exhausting. So, I recommend comparing the monetary value of the benefits you'd get and then making your purchase. For attractions like Yehliu Geopark, Jinguashi, and the Shifen Sky Lantern experience, you might find it more effective to purchase a separate Fun Trip Yehliu-Shifen-Jiufen-Jinguashi (YES FOG JING) bus tour and use them together. Also, as a side note, I recommend adding the Funlab bag-making experience to your itinerary. It's surprisingly fun and provides a cool space for a short break. The wood glue they provide takes a long time to dry after attaching materials, so rather than rushing to sew, it's better to glue the pieces, put them in a plastic bag, carry them carefully, and by the next day, they should be completely dry. Using glue will save you a lot of time.

Taipei Zoo & Maokong Gondola Combo Review Combining the Taipei Zoo with the Maokong Gondola was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Taipei, offering incredible value and seamless booking. We started our morning exploring the zoo’s massive, lush grounds—getting up close with the giant pandas and walking through the impressive Pangolin Dome rainforest. Booking through Klook made entry effortless, letting us skip the main ticket lines using a quick QR code scan, which saved us so much time on a busy day. Right from inside the zoo, we boarded the Maokong Gondola. The 30-minute ride provided breathtaking, panoramic views over the lush mountain canopy and the distant Taipei 101 skyline. Ending the trip with a relaxed pot of local Tieguanyin oolong tea and tea-flavored ice cream at a hillside teahouse made for the perfect afternoon escape from the bustling city center. A must-do experience for families, couples, and solo travelers alike!

Finding M4 to get on the bus was easy. I took my first hop on with the blue line at 10:50 am and the red line at 14:50. I ended the 2 routes at past 6pm. That was fun, relaxing and enjoyable!

Mr. Bratt Kao — what a man of excellent service throughout our tour! Beyond being just a tour guide, he helped us in every possible way, took so many amazing pictures for us, suggested great restaurants, and guided us extremely well throughout the trip.

We had an excellent experience with our tour guide! He was friendly, professional, experienced, and very knowledgeable. The explanations were clear and engaging, and we learned so much about the local culture, history, and attractions. The guide was also attentive, approachable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour. Everything was well organised, making the experience enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fantastic tour experience!

A great experience, fun and definitely recommended! Since we were the only ones speaking English we ended up having a completely private session of the DIY noodles making, it was very well explained and great fun!

It was a great experience to get to the observatory and walk to the skyline. Thanks to our guide Sherry, appreciate how clearly she explain things. Highly recommended!
