Things to do in National Palace Museum

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.

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.

I think we started at 2pm from taipei terminal, so we went down to the historical place and spent most of the time there. Then after we checked the time on the guide and waited for the bus to take us back to the main station. I really liked that they were also explaining in english about the places we passed by. The best part during this trip was for me was that I get to enjoy the ride during sunset which gave us the perfect city view and we also saw the taipei 101 light up. :))

This was an amazing and fantastic tour! Joanna our tour guide was an absolute gem! She made the tour an amazing and fantastic experience for me and my sister! Surely, she made the Beitou Hot Spring Tour truly unforgettable. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She made every moment enjoyable and special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Beitou! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's great way to visit all famous museums if you are crunched with time. However our tour guide had a bit difficulty in explaining the area/ history in english but you can still understand him a bit & he's sweet! Hassle free transfer to different museums especially in this June heat!

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. No words are enough to explain his dedication and kindness. Truly a 10-star service by him! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My first visit to the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum left a deep impression on me. The Southern Branch has a style that blends modern Chinese aesthetics, and the exhibitions inside are presented in diverse ways. Buying tickets on Klook was super convenient—instant purchase and use! The Southern Branch ticket was excellent value for money; my friend and I had a great time. The coolest part was that their stamps aren't regular ink stamps; they only appear when illuminated by a light. They don't stain clothes or smudge, which is awesome! I even asked a staff member to shine the light for me so I could take a picture. 😂 It was a very special trip, and I want to go again. Next time, I'll definitely use an e-ticket—it's so quick and convenient! 🫶

We had a very fulfilling two-hour tour thanks to Ms. Jo Sook-jin's engaging explanations. I appreciate that she tailored her explanations to my child's pace. I had visited the National Palace Museum before without a docent, and compared to that experience, this time was incredibly enriching and satisfying.

Ms Lee Yu Ying gave a very informative tour that weaved historical narrative with the artifacts. Highly recommended to get a guide for the musuem tour to explain the details.
