2025 New Taipei City Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

The Xizhi suburban area is known for its mountainous terrain, including several of Taiwan's "Small Hundred Peaks." Among them is "Dajian Mountain," named for its sharp, towering peak that seems to pierce the clouds. Also known as "Xiufeng Mountain" for its picturesque scenery, the mountain becomes a vibrant tapestry of colors every spring as cherry blossoms, osmanthus, azaleas, and sea mangoes bloom in succession, drawing numerous visitors to admire the flowers. There are several ways to hike Dajian Mountain. The most popular—and also the most challenging—route starts from the stone staircase trail next to Tianshou Temple. This path consists of a total of 1,145 steps leading to the summit, making it a true test of both stamina and endurance! If you're looking for a workout that leaves you sweating and feeling the burn, this is the route for you. Personally, I recommend taking the paved road along Qinjin Road. While this route is longer, it is much easier to walk and is lined with blooming cherry blossoms. The highlight is the stretch near the Maitreya Mountain Tiandao Monastery, where both sides of the road are flanked by a breathtaking sea of cherry blossoms. From the back of the monastery, you can reach the summit of Dajian Mountain. Take a moment to rest at the pavilion and enjoy the panoramic view of Taipei City and the cherry blossoms—it's absolutely stunning! For the descent, take the stone staircase back down to Tianshou Temple. This way, the return trip is more relaxed, sparing you from being out of breath or having wobbly legs.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 February to May every year is the best season to appreciate the Laomei Green Stone Trough at Cape Fugui on the North Coast. As the northeast monsoon gradually weakened, a large patch of green seaweed grew on the stone trough. It’s a pity that we came here during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. It’s also because of the longer consecutive holidays that we have more time to travel to Taipei from the south. Although it is already mid-June, you can still see some seaweed on the stone trough, but it is not very dense. The works of professional photographers can be seen on the Internet, in which the seaweed on the Laomei Green Stone Trough is photographed to look like a dream and a fairyland. The Laomei Green Stone Trough was once voted by CNN as one of the top eight private attractions in Taiwan. In addition to the Green Stone Trough, there is also an Laomei maze hidden in the Fuguijiao Park next to it. The Laomei maze is located on the prairie. If you go further up, you will reach the Fugui Cape Lighthouse, the northernmost tip of Taiwan Island. Don’t miss these attractions when you travel here~~~.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 I haven’t been to Bali for a long time. When I lived in Luzhou, I would come here from time to time to stroll around and see the scenery. After returning to the south, I rarely have the opportunity to come here. Now we can see that Bali Zuo'an Park is very beautifully planned. In addition to the beautiful scenery of the sunset, there are also many installation arts on site. Not only is it good for taking photos, there are also dedicated bicycle lanes, and the overall feeling is very comfortable. On the other side of the river is Tamsui. Bali cannot compare with it in terms of volume, but I personally think that the environment of Zuo'an Park is much better than that of Tamsui Golden Waterfront. There are many tourists and citizens in Zuo'an Park on weekdays and holidays. Especially on holidays, the tourists coming to Bali often block the roads. Seize this rare holiday opportunity to visit scenic spots in Tamsui and Bali Zuo'an, recall every bit of the past and keep these beautiful memories in your heart forever. (20211112)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 50th Floor Café Buffet is located on Xinzhan Road, Banqiao District, New Taipei City, just a few minutes' walk from Banqiao New Station. It is also a good choice for enjoying the night view of New Taipei City and Taipei City. The Banqiao New Station area can be said to be the first-tier battle zone for restaurants and hotels in Banqiao District. All restaurants are doing their best to attract customers to consume. The location of the 50th floor Café Buffet has many advantages. In addition to being close to Banqiao New Station, the restaurant's location on the 50th floor is definitely its biggest selling point. In addition, at the price of a child's ticket, you can enjoy steak, seafood, sashimi, cooked food, desserts and other delicacies. The restaurant offers a distant view of Taipei 101. Customers can enjoy a sumptuous buffet while appreciating the night view downstairs. The lighting is beautiful and the atmosphere is great. If you want to eat delicious food and appreciate the beautiful night view, then come to the Café buffet on the 50th floor.

Finally waited for it! The Yingge Art Museum was open during the trial operation phase, and I immediately dragged my husband there to see the true face of this new cultural landmark. When I first saw the museum, I was amazed by its modern architectural design. Combining Yingge's local ceramic culture and natural environment, it is really a great place to take photos and check in. Transportation is also very convenient. Take the Taiwan Railway to Yingge Station, and walk about 15 minutes after exiting the station to arrive. There is also a parking lot nearby for car owners, and the traffic flow is clearly planned. The trial operation exhibition area currently includes contemporary art, ceramic installations, and digital interactive areas. Not only does it have a strong visual impact, but there are also many creations that make people think about "time, matter, and perception". It is worth slowly savoring. Don’t leave in a hurry if you are tired of shopping. There are many hipster coffee shops and pottery DIY shops next to the art museum where you can slowly explore. You can also visit Yingge Old Street to eat a bowl of hot tofu pudding. 🎫Tickets are currently free (during the trial operation period). It is recommended to come on weekdays when there are fewer people so you can enjoy the view slowly. The official opening is expected in the second half of the year, when there will probably be more exhibitions and activities. #Yingge Art Museum #Taiwan New Attractions #Art Museum Control #Ceramic Capital #Yingge Day Tour #Yingge Trial Operation #New Taipei Attractions Recommendation #Art Exhibition #Literary Travel #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf is located on the right bank of the Tamsui River estuary in Tamsui District, New Taipei City. It is famous for its sunset glow. Formerly known as Tamsui Second Fishing Port, it was started in 1978 and completed in 1987. It has a land area of ​​about 15 hectares and a water area of ​​about 11 hectares, totaling 26 hectares. There are many art installations in the area that are great places to take photos and check in. The most popular place for couples is the white Lover's Bridge. The poetic name is coupled with the Tamsui Twilight, which is known as one of the eight scenic spots in Taiwan. The combination of the bridge and the twilight adds a romantic atmosphere to the area.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Sandiaojiao Lighthouse is located in Gongliao District, New Taipei City. The Sandiaojiao Lighthouse was built in 1935. The tower is 16.5 meters high and stands on the easternmost cape facing the Pacific Ocean. Sandiao Cape is not only the easternmost point of Taiwan, but also the starting point of the Snow Mountain Range and the confluence of ocean currents. The Sandiao Cape Lighthouse has an arc-shaped white tower. The lighthouse flashes white and red twice every 28 seconds to guide sailing ships and is known as the Eyes of Taiwan. There is an exhibition hall inside and a showroom under the main body of the lighthouse, which displays historical relics such as the distribution map of lighthouses across the country and lighthouse stamps issued by the post office. In 1992, at the request of the local authorities, the tower area was opened to the public for visits. Behind the lighthouse, there is a small mountain road about 250 meters long that leads to a viewing platform where you can enjoy the magnificent Pacific Ocean view.

Fuguijiao Lighthouse, located in Shimen District, New Taipei City, is an octagonal concrete structure with black and white stripes. It is the northernmost lighthouse on Taiwan's main island. The lighthouse was completed in 1897 and was rebuilt in 1962 into its current octagonal shape. Initially, the lighthouse was not open to the public, but it has been accessible since 2015, although the lantern room remains closed to visitors. From the observation deck, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Taiwan Strait. During the day, you can see the blue sea and sky, and at dusk, you can witness the spectacular sight of the sun setting behind the lighthouse, creating the illusion of a giant flaming lamp.

There is a private onsen pool, free shabu dinner, free breakfast 🍲✨ Let me tell you first that this place requires about 1 hour out of town. You can go back and forth or stay for 1 night. 🚌 📍 This area is called Wulai or Wulai. The highlight is the hot spring pool, beautiful waterfall, and there is a cafe with a view of the waterfall. It's very beautiful to take pictures. There are also some small activities like trams and cable cars! 🏘️ Let's get back to the accommodation first. 📍 The accommodation is called Sun Moon Bed & Breakfast (it's the same as Full Moon Spa, but the one I stayed at was cheaper, the room was smaller, but it had a private onsen in the room. The view might not be as beautiful.) 💖 The room was very clean, both the bed and bathroom area. It was okay. It didn't smell, wasn't stuffy, and wasn't dusty. The onsen pool was clean, but there were some insects outside. They didn't come into the room. 💖 The onsen pool doesn't have water. If you want to soak, call the staff to release water into the pool. It will turn on automatically. It's good that it's not dirty. 💖 The staff is very good service, very kind, came to send to the room, recommended, very good service, not bad 💖 The main highlight is that the accommodation has a free shabu dinner, very full, and also includes breakfast (really like this) 🚌 Travel **Recommended to read from this post** 💖 No matter where you stay, please start at 'Metro Main Station' first 💖 Then walk to the bus at 'Taipei Main Station (Qingdau)' >> Search for this name on Google Maps and walk from the metro. Take bus number 849 💖 Ride for about 66 points, takes about 1.5 hours, get off at 'Wulai Terminal Station' 💖 Then open the map, walk to the accommodation + walk to find something to eat + walk to get on the tram! *** Go and return, get on and off at this station. I recommend not following Google Maps if the map tells you to take the metro to get off at Xintian Station because it will be a station that appears halfway through the bus. It will make us get on the bus without a seat. Therefore, it is better to sit from the beginning as mentioned above.*** 💸 The room price is around 3,000 baht (weekdays)💸 I can't remember the bus price, but it's not expensive. You can tap the easycard. This is another place I would like to recommend for anyone who plans to visit Taiwan but doesn't want to stay in the city. You can come for a round trip or stay for 1 night. You can come to breathe in the air and soak in the hot springs and let your heart go. 💦💧🩵 #Taiwan2024 #TaiwanReview #TaiwanReview2024 #WhereToGoInTaiwan #Wulai #wulaiwaterfalls #TaiwanCafe #WulaiCafe #TaiwanAttractions

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Yingge Ceramics Museum is located in Yingge District, New Taipei City. The entire museum covers an area of ​​12 hectares. The museum was established in November 2000 and is the first ceramics-themed museum in Taiwan. The main building is made of plain water and steel frame structure, and the whole glass design not only increases the light intake but also allows for inside and outside perspective. Yingge District is a major center for ceramic manufacturing in Taiwan, so it is a blessing for the Yingge District to be able to build an international ceramic museum in this place. The museum not only provides exhibitions and collections of ceramics, but also has the responsibility for educational promotion and academic research. There is also a rest area at the back of the museum, where there are also some ceramic art installations, and it is also a good place for children to play games.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Juming Museum is located in Jinshan District, New Taipei City. It was officially opened in 1999. The museum covers an area of ​​about 11 hectares and is divided into indoor exhibition area and outdoor sculpture exhibition area. The indoor exhibition area will change the works of artists with different themes from time to time, while the outdoor sculpture exhibition area is a regular exhibition area for Ju Ming's large-scale sculptures. Ju Ming's works can be divided into three series: Tai Chi Series, Human Series and Native Series. The Tai Chi Series is especially popular with many art collectors and is reasonably priced. The concise and sharp knifework presents the essence of Tai Chi through its "form and meaning". The connotation of waiting for movement with stillness, defeating the big with the small, defeating the strong with the weak, and transforming the straight with the round is expressed vividly.

Near Banqiao Station, there are three connected hotels: Caesar, Hilton, and Q Square, making them excellent choices for staying while visiting New Taipei Christmasland. The transportation is extremely convenient with three rail systems integrated. Among them, Caesar and Hilton share a stunning rooftop glass canopy pool. This time, I stayed at the 'Caesar Park Hotel Banqiao' with an incredibly discounted price of 3467 TWD during the off-peak season, and got upgraded to a 40-square-meter Elite Double Room. It was a great deal. The room is very spacious, with a super comfortable sofa area by the window where you can easily fall asleep. The bed is soft and cozy, and there's even a separate dressing room, making great use of the space. Of course, there's also a bathtub for a relaxing soak. The value for money at Caesar is really high; I doubt you could get this price at the neighboring Hilton. The hotel has a Chinese restaurant and a Thai restaurant, offering a 20% discount for guests. The breakfast selection is also quite abundant, with a dedicated chef preparing Dan Zai noodles. The overall stay experience was very pleasant, and the price is super worth it.

Four Points by Sheraton Linkou is an excellent choice for those on a business trip to Linkou. The hotel is conveniently located near National Highway No. 1 and the Airport MRT station, making it easy to get around. It's also close to the Mitsui Outlet Park and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, offering great convenience for daily needs. Positioned as a business hotel, Four Points by Sheraton Linkou not only offers convenience but also features a surprisingly stylish design. The decor is modern and minimalist, with clever use of lines to create a chic and slightly tech-savvy atmosphere. I stayed in a deluxe room, which is about 40 square meters with a large TV, probably around 55 inches. The room rate is a bit pricey at over 6000 TWD per night without breakfast. For this price, you might consider staying at the Courtyard by Marriott in Nangang, which is more convenient. (Four Points Linkou does have a swimming pool, though.) I'm not very familiar with Linkou, but overall, the area is quite convenient with good living facilities. There are large hospitals and plenty of parks and green spaces. However, the downside is the climate, which tends to be humid and foggy.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Coming to Jiufen Old Street, it feels like walking into the anime world in Hayao Miyazaki's movie "Spirited Away". It feels so unreal.🏮🏮 Jiufen Old Street is located in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Taiwan that combines food, scenery and history. Jiufen at night is more beautiful as the night goes on. The countless lanterns on the stone steps and the lights on the streets at night make us feel like we are walking in another unreal world. (It is similar to the anime world of "Spirited Away", especially at A-Mei Tea House.) Jiufen attracts countless tourists from all over the world, so the rugged stairs along the way are full of people. Everyone walks and stops to take pictures 📷, hoping to leave such a beautiful memory. (Although there are many people, my love for Jiufen has not diminished.) Walking along Jiufen Old Street, there are many boutiques and snack bars, and they are basically crowded. I saw many small shops selling small boutiques of the faceless man in "Spirited Away", which is super cute😍. 🌟🌟🌟 Jiufen is a long way away, and there are several ways to get there. Most tourists charter a car for a day trip. Or you can join a one-day tour and take a tour bus directly. (But this kind of stay time is generally more limited 🚫) 🚌Transportation: 1-🚄Train: Take the train from Taipei Main Station to Ruifang Railway Station, then transfer to bus 788, 825 or 827 to reach Jiufen Old Street. Take the train from Taipei Main Station to Ruifang Railway Station, and then take a taxi directly. The fare is not expensive! 2-🚌Bus (Jiufen Bus) 1062 Highway Bus 🚇MRT Zhongxiao Fuxing Station——Jiufen Old Street——Jinguashi 🚇Exit 4 of Songshan MRT Station, turn right after exiting and look for the license plate number 1062 Bus Station——Ruifang Railway Station——Jiufen Old Street (Jiufen Old Street is always crowded with tourists on holidays or weekdays, so there is a chance of traffic jams when driving or taking the bus! The best suggestion is to take the train.) #jiufen #taipeiattractions #taipei #jiufenoldstreet

On the weekend morning, I was looking forward to the class with the new basketball coach, but I didn’t expect that the school had another project and couldn’t play basketball. I rushed to Neihu to see an ophthalmologist. The good news is that my son’s vision is still 1.0, so good☺️ When it rains, my husband immediately thinks of Sandiaoling. There are no crowds of people hiking, so it is indeed a good place to go on rainy days. The very distinctive "Kuan Ge's Place" in Sandiaoling is well-known and needs no introduction. If I continue to introduce it, there will be too many people and I will forget about coming 😅 This is not only a cafe, the food is also excellent, especially the freshly baked pizza, which will make people become regular customers after trying it. The store's decoration style is a mix of industrial retro and country style, full of personality and warmth. The bare concrete walls, iron frame ceiling and open counter create a casual yet detailed atmosphere. The most eye-catching thing is the pink bicycle hanging on the beam, which adds vitality and fun to the space. The kiln oven is hidden behind the counter, revealing that this is not just a cafe, but also a place to enjoy delicious food. The bar counter is furnished with a blackboard handwritten menu, coffee utensils and books, giving people a strong sense of handcraft and humanistic atmosphere. The personalized collection elements make people feel that they are not just coming to eat and drink coffee, but more like exploring a space full of stories. The temperature is low today and it is drizzling, but we still choose to sit outside the store. We are surrounded by the smell of moist soil and the tranquility of the mountains and forests. It seems as if we are isolated from the world, with only us and the food in front of us. The pizza baked to order has a strong charcoal aroma and the crust is chewy. Today we ordered a spinach bacon pizza, which was delicious😋. I also ordered the Fireworks Italian Handmade Pasta, the noodles were chewy and slightly spicy overall. Needless to say, the French fries are sold out as soon as they are served. Feeling the beauty of food is the purest moment of happiness. #CafeFood #SanDiaoLing #KuanGeWhere #NewBeijingGoodPlace

#Taipei Attractions Although Yulong City has changed from Zaha Hadid's stunning masterpiece to an ordinary factory building, it has created a lot of topics since its opening with its reputation as "the largest Eslite Bookstore in Taiwan". The interior space was designed by Sanshi Architecture, which used high-ceiling space to create multiple arch shapes and a skylight that runs through the bookstore to create the momentum of a flagship store. Most of the brands inside the mall are available in Taipei city, such as NIKE, MUJI, UNIQLO, Global Work, etc., which are not very attractive to out-of-town customers. On the second day of trial operation, there was no buying spree by the public. The customer base is targeted at local residents of Xindian, and there is a certain guaranteed customer base. "The largest Eslite Life in Taiwan debuts: new look attracts attention" After a long wait, Taiwan’s largest Eslite Life is finally online! Looking back at its birth process, the Yulong City project has gone through many twists and turns. It was originally designed by the architectural master Zaha Hadid and should have been a stunning masterpiece, but in the end it looked like an almost ordinary factory building, which is really regrettable. But even so, relying on its famous reputation as "the largest Eslite Life in Taiwan", it caused quite a stir as soon as it opened and successfully created many topics. As soon as you step into it, you can feel the charm of the interior space carefully created by Sanshi Architecture. The high-ceiling design with multiple arch shapes is majestic and elegant. The light-filled skylight that runs through the bookstore is even more ingenious. The sunlight pours down, injecting vitality into the entire space, and the grand momentum of the flagship store is fully revealed. However, if you look closely at the brand layout in the mall, you will find that most of them, such as NIKE, MUJI, UNIQLO, Global Work, etc., have long been common in Taipei City. For foreign tourists, they lack sufficient novelty and appeal, and it is difficult to drive them to spend money on purchases. Even on the second day of the trial operation, there was no crazy buying spree among the public. Fortunately, Eslite Life is foresighted and has targeted the local residents of Xindian as its customer base. This group of stable customers has been guaranteed a bottom line. It remains to be seen how they will continue to shine in the commercial wave in the future. Whether it can break through the status quo and carve out a unique path in the homogeneous market competition remains to be seen how its subsequent operating strategies will be implemented.

Finally waited for a sunny day and challenged Xiaozi Mountain again! This time, we not only climbed the Xiaozi Mountain, but also climbed the nearby Cimu Peak and Putuo Mountain. The overall journey is not long, and you can climb three peaks in a short time and enjoy the broad view. Among them, Xiaozi Mountain is still the most thrilling section, and the thrilling rock edges make people's heart beat faster. The following Cimu Peak and Putuo Mountain are relatively easy. Although the steep stairs of Cimu Peak require a little effort, the view of Xiaozi Mountain from the top is very vast!

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Xinzhuang Zhonggang Avenue Light Sculpture Show has entered its 6th year since its opening in 2020. The LED lights are becoming more and more numerous and exaggerated. From Zhonggang Plaza all the way to Rainbow Plaza, 3 million LED lights illuminate the entire Zhonggang Avenue, arranging and combining various cool patterns, which are super beautiful and easy to photograph. It is hard to imagine that it was a dirty and smelly drainage ditch before, but after renovation and beautification, it has been transformed into a water sports park for sports and water play during the day, and a romantic light sculpture show at night. This year's theme is "Light and Shadow of China and Hong Kong, a Magical Mysterious Land". Millions of bright and colorful LED lights are decorated into various works of art, forming a total of six major themed landscapes. It is like strolling in the wonderland of Avatar, which is very suitable for couples to date or for parent-child travel. #Xinzhuang Zhonggang Dapai

If you come to Tamsui, it would be a shame not to visit the Tamsui Wharf. The pier is lively and leisurely during the day, and the music of street performers flows in the air, making people slow down unconsciously. Evening is the most charming moment here - the setting sun slowly sets, dyeing the entire river surface golden orange, which is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. Finding a cafe to sit down and watch the sunset, or just daydreaming on a bench, are the little happiness that belongs to Tamsui. Coming here, eating A Gei is like a ritual. Crispy fried tofu is stuffed with glass noodles and drizzled with sweet and spicy sauce. When you take a bite, the taste in your memory comes back instantly - this is the unique taste of Tamsui. Although Big Mac ice cream is not my cup of tea, the stacked shape is super eye-catching. Holding it in your hand feels like holding the halo of the protagonist. Taking photos and checking in will get you 100 points! The charm of Tamsui may be hidden in these simple and warm moments. Next time you want to slow down, why not come back to Tamsui for a walk? #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Zhonggang Dapai has undergone a magnificent transformation and has now become a waterfront trail that is both beautiful and interesting. This story of urban transformation is full of miracles and is amazing. As soon as you step onto the trail, what comes into view are the colorful painted walls full of childlike fun and artistic sense. These paintings are not just ordinary wall graffiti, but are carefully designed to turn the entire trail into a large outdoor art gallery. What attracted me most was the 3D painting with the theme of "Underwater World". When you walk beside the painted wall, it feels like you are in an underwater tunnel. All kinds of cute marine creatures come to life, making people stop and take photos to capture the beauty of this moment. In addition to the underwater world, there are other painting areas with different themes, such as scenes depicting wild animals, insects, etc. Each painting is vivid and full of childlike fun. These paintings not only add color to the trail, but also make the originally cold and hard walls more warm and humane. If time permits, you can walk slowly and savor the relaxation brought by this trail, as if you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you are looking for a scenic spot where you can take beautiful photos for the internet and relax, you might as well come to Xinzhuang Zhonggang Avenue and feel its beauty and charm after its transformation! address: Near the intersection of Huacheng Road and Zhongzheng Road, Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City (It is recommended to set the navigation to "Xinzhuang Zhonggang Dapai Waterfront Trail" to easily arrive) #MarchGoodPlaces2025

This is my third consecutive year to visit the Xinzhuang Zhonggang Light Sculpture Exhibition! The lighting exhibition, which starts in late February every year and lasts for about four weeks, always brings refreshing creativity. The entire river is decorated with lights and projection mapping, creating a dazzling atmosphere like a fairy tale world. The most amazing thing is still the super romantic light and shadow tunnel! Standing in the sea of ​​lights, you feel like you are in a magical world. The lights change colors with the music, and it is super beautiful no matter how you take the photo! If you haven’t been there yet, hurry up and if you have already been there, don’t miss this year’s new light show✨ 📍Visiting Information & Transportation ✅ Exhibition period: 2025/2/26 – 3/23 ✅ Lighting time: 18:00 – 22:00 daily ✅ Address: Along Zhonghua Road and Zhonggang Road, Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City ✅ Transportation: Take the MRT Circle Line to Xingfu Station and walk for about 10 minutes #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#Taipei Sakura Although the Tianyuan Temple in Tamsui is extremely far away, it is a well-known cherry blossom viewing spot in Taipei. The pagoda-shaped Tianyuan Temple is the background, and the blooming pink wild cherry blossoms are the foreground. With such a beautiful composition, it is no wonder that there are crowds of people every time the cherry blossoms are in full bloom! After the Chinese New Year, from the end of January to the middle of February, the three-color cherry blossoms on the back hill of Tianyuan Palace will be the first to bloom. However, it is easy to rain at this time, or it will be a gray and cloudy day, which makes it not so beautiful to take pictures. However, from March to April, it is the turn of the Somei Yoshino cherry trees around the Temple of Heaven to bloom, dyeing the world red with pink flowers. The weather in March is stable, so there are more opportunities to photograph the pink sea of ​​cherry blossoms under the blue sky and white clouds. Due to the large number of people during the flower season at Tianyuan Temple, traffic control is often implemented. Another option is to take public transportation. You can take the MRT to Tamsui Station, then transfer to the cherry blossom shuttle bus, or bus 875-877 to get to Tianyuan Temple. However, you must be prepared to wait in line. #3月好去2025 #TanshuiTianyuangong

I basically only come to Lihpao Department Store to watch movies. If I'm not here to watch a movie, I rarely come here on purpose. There are not many shops to choose from, and there is nothing to do when shopping. However, this place is quite friendly to children. The first floor is almost entirely filled with shops selling children's toys and picture books. If parents want to find some small gifts for their children, it is still worth visiting. On the fifth floor is Austin Land, an indoor parent-child playground with slides, ball pools, climbing areas and other facilities, where children can have fun and parents can take a break. However, tickets are required and the price is not cheap, but for families with children, it is one of the few reasons worth visiting this department store. 📍 Location: Lihpao Department Store (next to Banqiao Station) #LihpaoDepartmentStore #AustinDreamPark #Children'sToys #Cinema #FebruaryGoodPlaces2025

I still remember when I was a kid, what I looked forward to most when I went to a department store was Tom's World! This is not only a great place for adults to entertain children while shopping, but also a childhood memory for many people. I have a lot of fun every time I go in! Now on the fifth floor of Banqiao Lihpao Department Store, there is Tom's World, which has all kinds of game machines, whether it is claw machines, shooting games, racing games, or parent-child interactive games, adults and children can find their own fun! In addition to Tom's Bear, this floor also has Austin Land, a parent-child park suitable for children to let off steam. Children can play here to their heart's content, and parents can go shopping without getting bored! 💡 📍 Address: 5F, No. 3, Section 2, Xianmin Boulevard, Banqiao District, New Taipei City (Banqiao Lihpao Department Store) #Tom's World #Banqiao Attractions #Childhood Memories #Parent-Child Fun #Game Machines #February Good Places 2025

New Taipei Shimen・Laomei Green Stone Trough Every spring, the Laomei Green Stone Trough is covered with a layer of emerald green, forming a spectacular natural scene. It was already full of green in early March this year. Locals recommend that the best viewing period is from early March to around Qingming Festival. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year! Check the low tide time in advance. It is recommended to go there about 3 hours after low tide. At this time, the stone trough is exposed and the sea water gently laps at it, which can capture the most beautiful scenery. 🚫 Important reminder | Please do not step on the stone trough! ⚠ The seaweed on the green stone trough is slippery. Stepping on it is not only easy to slip, but also will damage the precious ecological environment. Violators may be reported or even fined by technological law enforcement, with a maximum fine of 30,000 yuan! ⚠ Please keep a proper distance to appreciate the beauty of nature. 🚗 Transportation and surrounding facilities Parking fee: 60 yuan/time on weekdays, 100 yuan/time on holidays Address: Shimen District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 253 #2 Good Places to Go in February 2025
