Taipei Palace Museum and Beijing Palace Museum has never stopped. Beijing Palace Museum has the Qingming Festival, Taipei Palace Museum has jade cabbage, Beijing Palace Museum has the " Pingfu Tie " by Lu Ji, Taipei Palace Museum has Mao Gongding ... The collections in both places are the artistic peaks of the Chinese nation. The total collection of 700,000 pieces in the Forbidden City in Taipei is slightly inferior to the 1.8 million pieces in the Forbidden City in Beijing, but the number of collections it exhibits is very amazing.
pictures are from karl around the world
pictures are from the value
As a tourist-friendly museum, the three treasures of the Forbidden City in Taipei are all in the first exhibition hall on the second floor, and visitors can complete the check-in in 10 minutes. But if you are a senior historical fan, you can also slowly collect Qiu Ying's "Shanglin Tu", Wang Xizhi's " Kuaixue Shiqing Tie ", and the most complete "Siku Quanshu", not to mention precious artworks such as pottery, jade, porcelain and other eras. If you are careful, you can also find many prop prototypes for film and television dramas. You can also find some of the jewelry of concubines and concubines in the popular Qing Dynasty drama.
[Haori] You can also find many small gifts from the big pig's hooves to Fucha Fuheng's son Fuheng.
Is there any high-value art buildings in Taiwan? For example, Taipei City Art Museum. It is next to the Flower Expo Park (which caused a sensation during the 2010 Flower Expo in Taipei), and is a white cube. The Municipal Art Museum opened in 1983 and is the first modern art museum in Taiwan, with a sense of futurism.
exhibits themselves are not amazing, but the exhibition focuses on interactivity, and you will definitely find the points of interest. There are no paintings that you can't understand here. You can drill into a capsule cube in the front hall that is nearly 10 meters high and listen to the children tell the story of "colored ocean"; you can also watch the light and shadow change in the Wang Dahong architectural theater on the side, and be a "person who walks to the moon"; you can also go to the second floor of the underground and study "70% of the architecture" with the children, so that the creativity can decorate the remaining 30%.

Taiwanese people like to say, I am not in Eslite, I am on the way to Eslite. As a content creator, checking in to various Eslite Bookstores is the reason why Nanjun doesn’t return to hotels in Taipei. Many people are studying Eslite's business operation model. They have opened more than 50 bookstores for 23 million people in Taiwan, and nearly 20 in Taipei alone. It has become a symbol of Taiwanese culture and is distributed in major business districts. Different Eslite does have slight differences.

Xinyi Eslite is a stop that you will never miss. It is next to the city government, behind 101, with the best geographical location and "single-family" scale, with nearly 1 million books, and is an encyclopedia-style bookstore. Whether it is traditional Chinese, English or Japanese, here are almost everything you can think of. The first floor is the "department store" where Eslite's commercial empire is more proud of, and it has entered the clothing and accessories of niche design brands. The second and third floors of the book area is a paradise for bookworms. If you don’t love books enough, there are also record stores here to find vinyl golden songs from Taiwan. In the stationery area next to it, various design cards may also make the little girls unable to let go.

If you want the real "not going home tonight", the Dunnan store recommended in "One Page Taipei" will be open 24 hours a day, and there will be more stories about urban people there. For literary and artistic youth, Songyan Eslite is also recommended because in the Cultural and Creative Park, the quality of art books is higher.
[Xiaodao] As someone who bought more than 30 books in Taipei on this trip, it has to be said that the prices of original English magazines and books in Taiwan are almost the lowest in the world, 2/3 of that in the mainland.
[Haori] If you like writing greeting cards, this ancient but most sincere way of communication is to sell greeting cards and papers in various scenarios in the bookstore, which almost contains the world's top card brands and papers of different materials. Whether you want creative or formal, lively or high-end cards, you can find them here. (Do you believe I bought a greeting card of more than 600 yuan here?)
If you prefer pure food night market, then Ningxia night market must not be missed. Compared with the Yiwu commodity market where Shilin Night Market is entering the random entry, many Taiwanese snacks that boast Japanese and Thai styles and countless delicious dairy shops, Ningxia Night Market seems much simpler. The Ningxia Night Market, which is no more than one kilometer from beginning to end, is mostly composed of orthodox Taiwanese time-honored food, and the local tourist association gathers many Taiwanese snacks and time-honored brands that have been over 50 years old.
taro balls, sesame oil chicken, rice balls, braised pork rice, tofu, oyster omelette, rice cake ice cream... There are almost no shops that can be found in Ningxia night market. If you don’t know which one is better, it’s better to refer to the locals who choose to vote with their feet. You will definitely not be wrong with following Taiwanese people who love to queue up.
[Haori] It is best to eat less or be on an empty stomach when you come to the night market. Otherwise, I would really hate myself for being taller than the sky and my stomach is thinner than paper. Unlike the "strange phenomenon" of queuing in the Internet celebrity stores in mainland China, the taste in Taiwan is almost proportional to the queuing time. I would like to recommend the Miaokou noodle line in Ningxia Night Market and the rice ball restaurant with the most people in line.
Taiwan is a place full of books, not only because of the commercial atmosphere created by more than 50 Eslite Bookstores throughout Taiwan, but also the blessing of various public libraries. For example, Beitou Library (Beitou Branch of Taipei City Library), is known as one of the 25 most beautiful libraries in the world, quietly hidden in Beitou Park.
Compared to the library, it looks more like a tree house. The entire building is made of only wood and glass. The glass angle is very unique and uses sunlight to the greatest extent, making it a diamond-grade green building. However, its diamonds are much more than just appearance. As a public library, entering them will be infected by the atmosphere of reading. There are students studying here, young people are reading fashionable English books, friends sit on the floor to read picture books, and even villagers picking up scattered books with magnifying glasses to read yellowed pages...

Yangming Mountain, many locals believe that it is another "the most beautiful night viewing place in Taipei" in addition to the 101 observation deck in the city center. It is a national park composed of several small volcanoes. On sunny days, you can see the green pines and cypresses, and on cloudy days, you can see the clouds and mists. After the rain, a rainbow may appear on the edge of the mountain. If you travel by following the season, the mountains are full of azaleas and cherry blossoms in February and March, and autumn is famous for its red leaves all over the sky... The luckiest thing here is that the lights are on at night. I see the neon lights in Taipei, but I am independent of the world.
[Small Island] Special reminder: If you come to Yangmingshan, it is best to rent a car and drive by yourself. The NT$15 ticket is indeed only 50 cents for public transportation. There are buses every 20-40 minutes, because there are too many tourists, usually you have to wait more than 2-3 to get to the next attraction. The distance between the core attractions of Yangmingshan is quite long. Kojima himself experienced taking pictures for three minutes and waiting for an hour to drive, and regretted why he didn't bring his equipment and hike forward.
[Haori] The mainland driver's license cannot be rented directly in Taiwan. It requires a mainland driver's license to be converted into a Hong Kong driver's license (the cost is higher), and the international driver's license translation is not supported.

From Lanji Spicy Pot Facebook Homepage
Not very spicy Taiwanese invented Taiwanese spicy hot pot has become the three major hot pot dishes in China alongside Sichuan and Chongqing Spicy Hot Pots.In the minds of Taipei people, Lan Ji Spicy Pot's status is definitely one of the unshakable hot pot restaurants.
uses freshly cut beef slices from Taiwan local beef with a rich soup. Although it is not as exciting as Sichuan Chongqing hotpot, it makes spicy lovers and diners who cannot eat spicy food willing to accept it. Whether you are used to using sesame paste, sesame oil or dry ingredients as dipping sauce for hot pot, when you come to Lan Ji, you highly recommend that you try its secret dipping sauce, which is paired with beef tripe and waist flower, which is so delicious that it will make people want to overturn the table.
However, there are far more than this one. As a time-honored hot pot brand, except for the large-character posters with various tips and requirements posted in the store, reservations are not accepted, and they must queue on site. The number reordering and the service here seem to be slightly different from the humanity of Taiwanese in the minds of tourists. But overall, this is still a hot pot restaurant that has poor service experience, long queue time, high price compared to similar hot pots, and a general dining environment, but it is still worth tasting, or this is the other side of the life of Taiwan’s streets and alleys.
How can you not drink alcohol when you come to Taipei? In this city where "the bartender does not shake hands", it seems that the degree of each cocktail is higher than that of other places. As a bar deeply influenced by the underground bar culture of the American Prohibition period, Alchemy not only has the decoration close to the atmosphere at that time, but also uses old American base wines such as rum and whiskey in bartending. The live performance of the jazz band in the store every weekend is in line with the atmosphere of Speak Easy. Lively but not noisy.
As the 15th-ranked bar in Asia, it is also very bold and innovative on the wine list. Cocktails with flavors such as kelp, fish soup, longan, etc. are surprising but not inconsistent. The "decoration" on the wine glass is no longer lemon cherries, but replaced with small items such as fishing rods, longans, etc., and even innovatively match pre-wine snacks for different cocktails. If your acceptance range is wide enough, you might as well try Miso Martini. In addition to making cocktails into Miso soup, it even matches the grilled fish snacks before the wine, which can be said to be very attentive.
[Haori] You must make an appointment in advance on weekends, and it should be noted that there are minimum consumption on weekdays and weekends, with the low consumption on weekends being NT$1,000 per person, and the price is about 3 glasses of wine.
如果不在花季或者不想将近一天时间往返于阳明山,那么乘坐缆车在猫空品茶,俯瞰这个台北则是整场旅行中最惬意的选择。 Take the MRT Wenhu Line at the terminal zoo station and you can change to the Maokong cable car to reach the top of the mountain. Order a pot of Tieguanyin with a completely different taste from the mainland, or a famous Taiwanese product, Frozen Oolong, chat with the teahouse owner, or look out the smokey window and stare blankly. If it weren't for the 101 in the distance, you would have the illusion of being in Taipei, you would have always felt the illusion of being in a mountainous town in the south.
【Haori】 Compared to sunny sunny days, I prefer to visit Maokong after the rain or in the rain. Compared with tourist attractions in the sunny days, Maokong in the rain has lost a trace of commercial atmosphere, and has more tranquility and fairy spirit.

Huashan 1914, there are "small literature and art" standard in almost every cultural and creative park, including bookstores, coffee shops, creative exhibition areas, and Huashan also has cinemas and weekend markets. I just searched for a "Blue Bird Bookstore". In addition to selling regular books, I actually saw the first issue of Monocle 10 years ago and various Taiwanese magazines that have been discontinued. The boss said it wanted to commemorate the magazine's golden decade in this way. There is also "Xiaolizi Business" here, a 10-square-meter room, but it is the official bookstore of Taiwan's largest monthly lifestyle magazine "Xiaolizi". It is still sold here for the past 7 or 8 years. It continues to recommend that simple and simple lifestyle.
After the bookstore closed, go to Guangdian Cinema in the park to watch a niche movie. Although the cinema is classified, there are some resources that will never be released in China, and Japanese films account for half of them.Taiwan is pro-Japanese. Whether it is Chinese or Japanese, they like to choose those extreme and lonely perspectives, which are more real life in the seemingly peaceful society now.
[Haori] After visiting the park, you might as well look at the public basketball court under the Xinsheng Elevated Road next to the park. Almost all the news about Taiwanese male celebrities related to basketball that you have seen before comes from here. And this stadium may be the most likely place to encounter Jay Chou, Jay Chou, Jay Chou, , and Pan Weibo during the entire trip.

This is a coffee shop highly recommended by my friend in Taiwan. For Taiwanese people, the word "exaggeration" is not only an adjective, but also a catchphrase that is on your lips. And this cafe will also bring "exaggeration" to its extreme. A hand-book menu written in multiple languages, ancient objects, lifting-covered organs that appear in Taiwanese movies and TV series, dense posters, ancient phones, sewing machines, electric fans, and small spaces fill many memories of Taiwanese people's past.

Compared with the same type of internet celebrity shop in mainland China that are not popular, this coffee and afternoon tea are the key points of recommendation. The boss’s style is unique in "hand-painted" lace flower, the Texas grilled chicken sandwich that is limited to the daily supply of Texas roasted chicken sandwiches, and the caramel apple or lemon tiramisu that is necessary for almost every table, which has sublimated the quality of the entire store.
There is no area in Taipei like Dihua Old Street and Dadaocheng, which can truly reflect the rise and fall of Taiwan in such a century. When you walk to the streets of Dihua, you won’t think it is different from the conventional old neighborhoods. People’s lives are simple and real. Street vendors sell ginger ducks, which are sweet or not. But I don’t know which old man is queuing up is a Taiwanese businessman. Decades ago, in just a few blocks, there were nearly 100 listed companies, more than 300 cloth stores and 200 exclusive Chinese medicinal materials stores. In other words, countless billionaires have been created here, and famous Taiwanese wealthy businessmen such as the Tong Family and the Xinguang Family have made their fortunes here. The one we are most familiar with is the chairman of Want Want Xianbei, and the first store is also opened in Dihua.
However, in the past decade, Dihua's economic situation has taken a sharp turn. In addition to being a "New Year's goods street" during the Spring Festival, Dihua Old Street has become more of a place for young people to watch the sunset at night. You can walk to Dadaocheng in 3 minutes from Dihua Old Street. The river bank market on the wharf has added a lot of vitality to this old port that has been more than 100 years. As night fell, the mobile beer cars with Japanese songs became active. They took a glass of beer in plastic cups and chatted while walking, and did not feel that they were incompatible with the ports at their heyday 100 years ago. This is how history is, nothing will be taken away from the rise and fall of success or failure.
What do you think of when it comes to Michelin-starred restaurants? The over-commercial promotion of being selected for restaurants today has made Michelin's authoritative recommendations backfire. One-star Michelin often encounters situations that are not worthy of their reputation and the store has a bad attitude. However, the Taipei one-star Michelin restaurant recommended today is an exception that can be safely picked up stars.
As a family-style restaurant, Jin Penglai series of restaurants, it has several different branches in Taipei, and the one selected as one Michelin star is this Jin Penglai Zun Gu Taiwanese cuisine. As the name suggests, this dish follows the traditional Taiwanese cuisine method, which slightly reduces salt and oil. The method is not as important as the general restaurants, and it is closer to the home-cooked state. Whether it is the high-end Buddha Jumps over the wall or the simple but amazing fragrant fried taro strips, there are almost no lightning points, and per capita consumption depends entirely on the dishes you order. The last meal you choose to leave Taipei is here and will definitely find the best reason for you to return to Taipei next time.
[Haori] It is recommended to make an appointment in advance. If you want to click Buddha Jump over the wall, you must also inform the store in advance when making an appointment.
Living in Taipei
Huashan Town-Tiancheng Cultural Tourism
What is the experience of living in a bank vault? This newly opened boutique design hotel I accidentally chose during this trip to Taiwan made me deeply plant my grass. This was originally a bank vault, but later transformed into a cultural hotel. The hotel is located opposite the road of Huashan 1914 Cultural and Creative Park, and is only 200 meters away from the subway station. However, the price of 500 yuan also includes a buffet breakfast. It is indeed very cost-effective in this area, from the large installations in public areas to the small cups in the room, all of which are from the hands of co-designers. If you are walking with friends, you can also try the fun 4-person room in the hotel.
