Things to do in Shilin Night Market

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.

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.

Despite the museum being extremely crowded with visitors, it was very helpful that you condensed the explanation of the museum artifacts into a short 2-hour tour. I especially appreciated that you came prepared with many photos on your tablet, including X-ray tomography and artifacts not present in the museum.

I'm happy that I can receive the ticket as a QR code and don't have to print it on paper, which helps protect the environment. The QR recognition was also good, making it convenient to re-enter.

You get extra stickers compared to buying on-site, but you need to enter the park first (show your voucher at the manual gate to prove you're a visitor for the day), then go to the redemption counter in the building on the left front to exchange it.

It was a time when the famous Cabbage display was not available. However, I was very satisfied with the ticketing system itself. If you only had an admission ticket and didn't rent an audio guide, you could enter directly.

Definitely a cool experience to try if you need a break from the typical shopping / food market trips. It was well worth the money because aside from the box of pineapple cakes that you’re gonna bake, you also get a cup of tea, some other pastries, and a NTD 50 voucher for their bakeshop downstairs. Staff and instructors were multi-lingual and attentive as well. It was also fun conversing with the other participants.
