A journey between history and modernity

#Taipei Itinerary Day 1: A walk through time at the Taiwan Museum of History Early in the morning, I set out from downtown Taipei and took the MRT and bus all the way to the Taiwan History Museum in Tainan. Upon arrival, what catches your eye is the architectural design that blends modern and traditional elements. The museum is divided into sections to showcase Taiwan's evolutionary history from the aboriginal era to the modern era. Aboriginal handicrafts, artifacts left by the Dutch East India Company, and old photos from the Japanese colonial period make people feel as if they are in the long river of time and feel the weight and warmth of history. In the afternoon, I strolled through the museum’s outdoor garden, admiring the landscaping inspired by Taiwan’s natural landscape. It was peaceful and full of artistic conception. Return to Taipei in the evening and experience the vibrancy of modern Taipei by feasting on delicious food at Ningxia Night Market. Day 2: Diverse Experiences of City and Culture The next morning, I went to the National Palace Museum to admire precious ancient artifacts, such as the Jadeite Cabbage and the Mao Gong Ding, and deeply felt the profoundness of Chinese culture. In the afternoon, head to Huashan Cultural and Creative Park to experience the tension and innovation of modern culture in creative exhibitions and art shops. At dusk, I watched the sunset at Dadaocheng Wharf. The brilliant glow of the sunset illuminated the surface of the Tamsui River, bringing the trip to a perfect end. In just two days, history and modernity, tradition and innovation blended together to outline the diversity and charm of Taipei.
