Taipei Heritage Landmarks and City Views
- Meet your tour guide at a pre-decided location and make your way around the city.
Start the tour with a visit to the National Palace Museum, where collections of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing court artefacts can be found. Don't miss the Three Treasures of the National Palace Museum: the Jadeite Cabbage, Meat-shaped Stone, and Mao Gong Ding.
Set out for Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, an important landmark in Taiwan's democratic progress. It is also home to the National Theater and Concert Hall.
Continue to Longshan Temple, located in the Wanhua district in western Taipei. Here, visitors can pray for love in front of Yue Lao, or the Old Man under the Moon. Built in 1738 by Fujian settlers for the safety of the neighbourhood, Longshan remains the spiritual heart of Taipei more than 280 years later. Nearby, Huaxi Night Market, Herb Lane, and Bopiliao are also worth seeing.
Stroll through old Dihua Street, also known as the Lunar New Year shopping district. Indulge in souvenir shopping at stores selling Chinese New Year items, traditional wares, and cultural artefacts.
Visit the Presidential Office Building and admire its solemn, simple architectural style.
Stroll through Xiangshan Park and enjoy an easy hike up the hill along its many trails. Take in the panoramic Taipei cityscape and see Taipei 101 from higher ground.
