As the dynamic capital of Taiwan, Taipei is a great place to begin your journey! If you love the fast-paced and efficient lifestyle of Singapore, you\u2019ll also love the bustling atmosphere in this vibrant metropolis. A tourist hotspot, it\u2019s also one of the more popular destinations for travellers due to its many interesting sights and delectable <\/span>food<\/span><\/a> options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Shilin Night Market\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"shilin<\/p>\n

Ask any local, and they\u2019ll tell you that night markets are a quintessential part of life in Taiwan. And I agree \u2013 the number of times I visited Shilin Night Market on my last visit to Taiwan was concerning, but that goes to show just how good my experience was! A trip to your nearby night market offers various cheap thrills, from delicious street food to shopping delights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taiwan\u2019s speciality is stinky beancurd, a fermented beancurd with a strong and acquired taste. Other street foods that you can\u2019t miss out on are the fried chicken cutlets and the <\/span>bubble teas<\/span><\/a>, which I might have had one too many of. It does get crowded, but the atmosphere is vibrant, so I shan\u2019t complain about the crowd. If you\u2019re planning to visit, visiting various night markets is one of the best things to do in Taiwan!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. National Palace Museum<\/span><\/h3>\n

This is a great place to start if you\u2019re looking for an activity to learn more about Taiwan\u2019s history, especially if you\u2019re interested in Chinese art. While you\u2019re there, visit the various exhibitions that combine ancient artefacts with innovative technology! If you\u2019re a fan of olden-day <\/span>Chinese dramas<\/span><\/a> like my parents are, you\u2019ll be excited to view precious artefacts such as <\/span>jade bangles<\/span><\/a> and ink plates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Travelling with family? There\u2019s also a dedicated Children\u2019s Gallery, so your kids will be kept entertained as you tour the place. Once you\u2019re done with all the exhibitions, head outside to enjoy the picturesque and serene environment. If you don\u2019t typically visit museums, a visit to the National Palace Museum is one of the best things to do in Taiwan to create an engaging experience for visitors of all ages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"taipei

This tourist attraction is one of the first things that comes to mind when we talk about Taipei. Standing at a staggering 101 feet, this stunning skyscraper holds the title of the tallest building in Taiwan. If you\u2019re planning to visit, I guarantee that you\u2019ll be amazed by the entire process. Start your tour by marvelling at the elevators that\u2019ll transport you from the first floor to the 89th in mere seconds!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, visit the Experience Viewing Deck for unobstructed views of the city. Another scenic photo spot that\u2019s not to miss is the Secret Garden, where you can take some romantic and dreamy photos. Adrenaline junkies will also enjoy Skyline 460, a high-altitude walking experience on Taipei 101\u2019s roof. To maximise your visit, don\u2019t forget to check out the Infinite Sky section to experience the special floors that create a whole new viewing experience!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Elephant Mountain\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"elephant

As one of the Four Beast Mountains, Elephant Mountain was named for how its leafy foliage resembles an elephant\u2019s trunk. Today, it\u2019s also one of Taiwan\u2019s protected forest regions that has become a popular hiking destination. A hike up Elephant Mountain can be completed within two hours (even for novice hikers like me), as it\u2019s slightly more than two kilometres long. This makes it an invigorating experience if you\u2019re looking for things to do in Taiwan that\u2019ll allow you to catch those scenic views. If you\u2019re lucky, you\u2019ll also catch a breathtaking glimpse of the sunset by visiting around dusk. Just make sure to wear some comfortable <\/span>sports shoes<\/span><\/a> and bring a <\/span>cap<\/span><\/a>, as it does get warm in the afternoons!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 157, Alley 342, Lane 150, Section 5, Xinyi Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City, Taiwan 110<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: 24\/7
\n<\/span>Price<\/b>: Free\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Beitou Hot Spring Park\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"beitou
(Credit: <\/span>Caitriana Nicholson<\/span><\/a> \/ Wikimedia Commons) <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019re interested in hot springs, head down to Beitou Hot Spring Park to relax and observe them. There, you\u2019ll be able to see the green sulfur spring water and watch as the steam rises periodically in clouds. If you\u2019re <\/span>really <\/span><\/i>interested to learn more about their unique history and geography, a visit to the Beitou Hot Spring Museum may interest you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Beitou Public Hot Spring will be closed for renovations until early next year, other facilities such as the Longnice Hot Spring are still available for you to enjoy a good soak. I can\u2019t advocate for this enough, as no trip is complete without some well-deserved pampering! If you ever feel reluctant to leave, an overnight stay at one of the many hot spring hotels isn\u2019t a bad idea to add to your Taiwan itinerary either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 2, Zhongshan Road, Beitou District, Taipei City, Taiwan <\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: 24\/7
\n<\/span>Price<\/b>: From NT60 (~SG2.63)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Things to do in Taiwan: New Taipei\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"things
(Credit: <\/span>Ralff Nestor Nacor<\/span><\/a> \/ Wikimedia Commons) <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You\u2019re not alone if you\u2019re wondering what the difference is between Taipei City and New Taipei. Taipei is an urbanised city, whereas New Taipei is more of a suburban region that surrounds Taipei City. New Taipei also offers a more diverse landscape with attractions ranging from shopping regions to mountainous and coastal areas. As such, many tourists plan day trips to New Taipei for a change of scenery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Jiufen Old Street\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"jiufen<\/p>\n

This is a charming mountain village that\u2019s located in the coastal area of New Taipei. With misty fog that rolls in from the sea and beautiful red <\/span>lanterns<\/span><\/a> strung around the shops, it reminds me of Studio Ghibli\u2019s Film Spirited Away. Those who enjoy taking photos on their holidays will also be pleased with the many Instagrammable spots scattered around the area. Additionally, various <\/span>dessert<\/span><\/a> spots and interesting shops can be found here, offering snacks like peanut ice cream and interesting souvenirs for your friends and family back home. While I had a great experience visiting in the afternoon, I\u2019d recommend visiting at night to soak in the magical vibes of this old street. If you haven\u2019t visited Jiufen Old Street before, it\u2019s one of the things to do in Taiwan that I can\u2019t recommend enough!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Jishan Street, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 224<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: 24\/7<\/span><\/p>\n

*Note that most of the shops open at 10am and start to close around 7pm\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

7. Shifen Old Street<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"shifen<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss out on visiting Shifen Old Street if you\u2019re already visiting Jiufen. Built along the train tracks, it\u2019s an exciting experience whenever the train passes by this nostalgic village. Other than the typical eating and shopping, releasing a sky lantern here is one of the more memorable things to do in Taiwan! Simply purchase a package and you\u2019ll be able to pen down wishes on a <\/span>paper lantern<\/span><\/a> of your choice. Under the direction of photographers, you\u2019ll take photos with your lantern to commemorate your experience before wistfully watching it ascend. After, you can also consider walking to the nearby Shifen Waterfall to marvel at the sight of nature\u2019s beauty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 81, Shifen Street, Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 226<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: 24\/7<\/span><\/p>\n

*Note that most of the shops open at 10am and start to close around 5pm\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

8. Houtong Cat Village\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"houtong

Just a 10-minute train ride from Jiufen or Shifen Old Street is this sleepy cat village that has become popular for its overwhelming number of feline friends (more than 100 cats)! While we know that the adorable kitties steal the show, Houtong Cat Village is also home to many photoworthy installations. There are multiple cafes and souvenir shops here too, so you can get some gifts that your friends are sure to love. Visiting this village is one of the best things to do in Taiwan, especially if you\u2019re looking to spend a chill day surrounded by cats. Now, who wouldn\u2019t want that? Pro tip \u2013 bring some <\/span>cat treats<\/span><\/a> and you\u2019ll be irresistible to the kitties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 70, Chailiao Road, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 22450
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: 24\/7<\/span><\/p>\n

\"tamsui

If you don\u2019t mind queuing for a spot, Lover\u2019s Bridge at Tamsui Fisherman\u2019s Wharf is a romantic destination for couples to enjoy the sunset together. Alternatively, the top floor of the nearby Lovers\u2019 Tower will give you a panoramic sea view. As you cross the bridge, you\u2019ll quickly arrive at the Tourist Fish Market. If you can\u2019t get enough of <\/span>seafood<\/span><\/a> like me, you\u2019ll enjoy the fresh catch here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exploring Old Street isn\u2019t a bad idea either. You\u2019ll get a taste of the area\u2019s speciality \u2013 Tamsui Fish Ball and Ageh, a snack consisting of fried tofu that\u2019s stuffed with glass noodles. For those travelling with your significant other, this is one of the best things to do in Taiwan for a romantic time together!<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 199, Guanhai Road, Tamsui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: 24\/7<\/span><\/p>\n

Things to do in Taiwan: Taichung\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"things
(Credit: <\/span>takuma mori<\/span><\/a> \/ Wikimedia Commons) <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As the birthplace of every Singaporean\u2019s favourite drink (bubble tea), Taichung is also home to a vibrant arts and cultural scene. Whether it\u2019s museums or green spaces, this city offers it all. Life here progresses at a slower pace, but it’s no less interesting than you\u2019d expect. So, it’s worth a day or two on your Taiwan itinerary for sure! The weather here is also refreshing, as it\u2019s sunny but cooling, so it\u2019s great for a day of exploration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Shen Ji New Village\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"shen<\/p>\n

If you love to collect <\/span>trinkets<\/span><\/a> and handmade memorabilia like I do, you\u2019ll have to add Shen Ji New Village to your list. Also known as the Audit Village of Taichung, this area was once a dormitory for the Taiwan Provincial Government\u2019s Audit Department. Today, the revitalised area has become a cultural and creative hub that\u2019s filled with artsy booths and stalls where creators sell their handmade items!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I observed as an artist crafted my keychain from scratch, which was a really interesting experience. I\u2019d suggest visiting on a weekend so that you can visit more booths, since not all of them are open on weekdays. If you\u2019re considering things to do in Taiwan that are out of the norm, a visit to this village has to be on your list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 8, Alley 4, Lane 368, Minsheng Road, West District, Taichung City, Taiwan 403
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: Daily, 11am – 7pm\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Shen\u2019ao Rail Bike\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"shen'ao<\/p>\n

If you love the ocean like I do, you\u2019ll have to visit this attraction! Located right next to the Pacific Ocean, the Shenao Railway was originally built to transport coal. Today, it has been repurposed into a rail-bike attraction that continues to attract many tourists. As you set off on your journey, you can expect to ride in marine-themed, tandem carts. Pedalling down the railway, make sure to keep a lookout for historical landmarks such as Elephant Trunk Rock and various adorable murals whilst enjoying the refreshing ocean breeze.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On my visit, we completed the ride within 15 minutes. It\u2019s therefore a great alternative to conventional tourist activities such as shopping. I also saw many elders, and it was adorable as they squabbled over which carts to pick. The ride isn\u2019t overly strenuous either, so it\u2019s one of the ideal things to do in Taiwan for even young children or elderly parents! Just remember to book your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment, as slots are limited.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 121, Section 2, Jianji Road, Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 224
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: Daily, 9am – 5pm
\n<\/span>Price<\/b>: From NT150 (~SGD6.60)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Rainbow Village\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"rainbow

This is a colourful tourist attraction that you\u2019ll see on every traveller\u2019s Instagram feed! While it isn\u2019t as big as I expected and could be explored within an hour, it was still interesting to wander around. It was also interesting to understand more of the village\u2019s history. I was surprised to learn that the artworks were painted to deter the government from demolishing the village, creating the colourful and whimsical murals that we see today. If you\u2019re visiting with kids, they\u2019re bound to love the many photo spots. So, a visit here is a must-add to your Taiwan itinerary!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 8, Alley 4, Lane 368, Minsheng Road, West District, Taichung City, Taiwan 403
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: Daily, 8am – 6pm
\n<\/span>Price<\/b>: Free\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Gaomei Wetlands\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"gaomei

If you\u2019re looking for a romantic spot to bring your partner to on your trip to Taiwan, this is it! Gaomei Wetlands is an ecological paradise that\u2019s popular for the sprawling grassland and breathtaking views. If you\u2019re lucky enough to catch the sunset, you\u2019ll get to see how the mudflat acts as a mirror that reflects the setting sun perfectly. The large wind turbines along the coastline also contribute to the scenic beauty of the nature reserve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re done taking pictures, take a stroll on the 800-metre boardwalk to get up close and personal with various types of flora and fauna. That said, any amount of explaining just can\u2019t do the place justice. So, a visit to Gaomei Wetlands is one of the most highly recommended things to do in Taiwan!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 8, Meiti Street, Qingshui District, Taichung City, Taiwan
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: 24\/7
\n<\/span>Price<\/b>: Free\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Zhong She Flower Market\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"zhong
(Credit: <\/span>Amina Filkins<\/span><\/a> \/ Pexels) <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Zhong She Flower Market is the ideal photo spot if you love flowers. It\u2019s similar to Singapore\u2019s Gardens by the Bay, which offers beautiful year-round blooms and adorable installations to liven up your photos. The only difference is that it\u2019s located outdoors, but it\u2019s still pretty cold (even in summer), so you\u2019ll have to bring a <\/span>jacket<\/span><\/a>. Another reason that tourists visit is to catch a glimpse of Huoyan Mountain in the background. Its slopes glisten in the sun, creating a unique reddish-brown slope that gives it its name \u2013 Fire Mountain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from the fresh flower fields, this flower market also houses the Family Fun Park and a Potted Culture Zone. So, it’s perfect if you\u2019re thinking about visiting with your family to bask in nature\u2019s beauty! After a day of admiring the flowers and spending time with your loved ones, end the day with a hearty meal at the Barbecue Zone. If you\u2019ve been thinking of a place that\u2019ll appeal to the whole family, Zhong She Flower Market is a great place to add to your Taiwan itinerary!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 333, Section 5, Sanfeng Road, Houli District, Taichung City, Taiwan 421
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: Daily, 8am – 6pm
\n<\/span>Price<\/b>:
\n<\/span>Adult tickets from NT130 (SGD5.70)

*Note that the prices of admission tickets may vary based on the season<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Things to do in Taiwan: Others\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

15. Alishan National Forest Recreation Area and Railway<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"alishan

There\u2019s something magical about untouched forest areas and railway attractions. Hence, the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is a popular destination for those who wish to experience the misty forests firsthand. Popular photospots here include the Sisters\u2019 Pond and the towering Magnolia Garden. On your visit, check out Shouzhen Temple to seek blessings from the Supreme Emperor of the Dark Heaven. After all, it\u2019s not every day that you\u2019re able to visit the highest temple in Taiwan in terms of elevation!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is magnificent all year round, a visit in March will give you the best chance of viewing cherry blossoms as they bloom! However, I\u2019ve heard from friends that it\u2019s notoriously difficult to secure a train ticket aboard the Alishan Forest Railway. Make sure to purchase your tickets early, as this is one of the attractions that can\u2019t be excluded from your Taiwan itinerary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 56, Zhongshan Village, Alishan Township, Chiayi County
\n<\/span>Opening hours<\/b>: 24\/7

\n<\/span>Adult tickets from NT300 (SGD13.20)

16. Sun Moon Lake\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"sun
(Credit: <\/span>Ralff Nestor Nacor<\/span><\/a> \/ Wikimedia Commons) <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This lake gained its name for its unique shape that resembles both the sun and the moon. Contrary to popular belief, there are a variety of attractions here other than the lake. Start your journey at Xuanguang Pier and leisurely make your way to Xuanguang Temple to admire the architecture. Ci En Pagoda is also great if you want to get a vantage point that overlooks Lalu Island and Sun Moon Lake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For a bird\u2019s eye view of the lake and its surrounding mountains, hop on the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway cable car. It\u2019s also a great place to snap a commemorative photo of the scenery down below! As you\u2019ll probably be hungry after all the exploring, visit the nearby shopping street for some good food and souvenirs to conclude your visit to this popular attraction in Taiwan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address<\/b>: Number 102, Chung-Cheng Road, Yuchih Township, Nantou County 555, Taiwan

If you\u2019re already in the area, a visit to the Sanyi Wood Sculpture Museum is a great addition to your Taiwan itinerary. As Taiwan\u2019s first public museum that\u2019s dedicated solely to wood sculptures, this area is the proud home of many precious sculptures that have been accumulated over the years. Although it\u2019s a simple museum, you\u2019re guaranteed to spend hours inside admiring the intricate carvings. Once you\u2019re satisfied, visit the nearby Sanyi Duck Treasure Shop to have a go at painting some wooden ducks and bring them home as mementoes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On my visit, we stayed at an Airbnb near Taipei Main Station. This was convenient as the metro was well within walking distance, so it was easy to get back to our apartment after a long day of activities. Airbnb is a popular choice nowadays due to the lower cost of flats. However, also consider factors such as apartment size, amenities, and safety. If you\u2019re looking for an accommodation that\u2019s more comfortable and luxurious, booking a hotel may be the way to go instead.<\/span><\/p>\n
