Things to do in Taipei

We had a wonderful experience. The van used was very comfortable and clean. Our tour guide/driver Mr.Allan was very enthusiastic and professional. The whole itinerary was tiring, but we still had fun at the end of the trip.

plenty of hot and cold plunges to choose from. the grounds were clean and the service impeccable. this is definite must visit after a long day of sight seeing. can stay all day at the outdoor area with admission. free shuttle service was fast and convenient.

Date of visited : Nov 2,2026. Time slot was 5 p.m. It was quite foggy that day. I can only take a clear picture from a few glass windows. The tickets couter process went smoothly. It quicker to paid advance on Klook than walk-in. I have been to many observatory building all over Japan, nothing as high as this one. But those places have a lot more choices for local craft beers and soft serve ice cream that I could sat down and enjoyed it. This place have only one café with the limited choice non of beverages were interesting here.

We had a really nice experience with the Maokong Gondola! Ticket redemption was quick and easy, and we didn’t have to line up at all. When we arrived at the station, we just waited for the next available cable car. The staff were also very helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. We enjoyed the ride and the beautiful views along the way. We also had a quick but fun visit to Maokong Village. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth trying when visiting Taipei!

Good place to spend a whole day. start from the top and work your way down. the collection is ordered from earliest period on the top floor, and later pieces on lower floors. public transport to get there is easy and cheaper then the sight seeing bus. there are so many pieces there you might want to come another day to see the rest. Do eat before coming here as there is only a small cafe that is constantly crowded. Besides their most popular pieces that people seem to like to view, you will find other pieces you will like I found the gate cups to be the ones I prefer over the popular pieces.

Booking our tickets online right before entering Taipei Zoo turned out to be a great move, as paying in PHP was noticeably cheaper than purchasing directly in NTD at the gate. The zoo grounds are massive, beautifully maintained, and offer incredible value, but timing is everything when visiting. Arriving at 1:00 PM already put us on a tight schedule, and an unexpected two-hour rainstorm completely stalled our plans. Because of the weather delay and the sheer size of the park, we weren't able to explore the entire zoo, but we definitely plan to visit again on our next trip to Taipei. For anyone planning a visit, I strongly recommend buying your tickets online in advance for the best rate, arriving right when the park opens, and packing umbrellas so a sudden downpour won't cut your day short.

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.

The wind protection was really thoughtful, and I especially loved the illustrations on the walls. Plus, getting a digital colored paper at the end felt super thoughtful!! I specifically chose my oshi's birthday to go see my oshi, 🫶🏻💙 Even though my friend and I had a private screening for just the 5 of us (since it was literally only us), baby Sugi-shita was so cute.

August 23, 2026 (Sunday) Two years ago, when we visited, it was a sunny day. Today, the weather was very cool, with a light drizzle. However, because of the rain, the roller coaster was temporarily closed, which was a shame because we didn't get to ride it. We rode the Jungle Roar Treehouse (free fall), the pirate ship, the spinning teacups, the Galaxy Express (monorail), the Ferris wheel, the Happy Bumper Cars, and the Space Gyro. It was truly worth the price of admission! My most memorable experience was riding the pirate ship; it was actually very comfortable, and my daughter and I rode it twice. My son was glued to the sandbox and spent an hour and a half there. 😅 We didn't leave until it got dark (6:30 PM), and it was hard to say goodbye.
