Taoyuan Children's Art Museum: A Great Place for a Leisurely Stroll
Last time I visited the Taoyuan Children's Art Museum in the morning, I felt the full energy and childlike fun. Bringing children to play with interactive art installations, they explored and played to their heart's content. Adults could leisurely enjoy coffee inside the museum, savoring a peaceful parent-child time.
At night, it's a different scene. After the lights are lit, the surroundings of the museum are decorated with colorful lights, creating a dreamy night atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow makes the entire space more artistic, making it a great spot for photos.

Starlux Airlines First Class Lounge
The Starlux Airlines First Class Lounge is located in Terminal 2, directly opposite Gate D7. It takes about five minutes to walk from the Terminal 2 departure area to the lounge. Upon entering the lounge, it is divided into two sides: the right side is for First Class, and the left side is for Business Class.
The First Class lounge has one restroom for men and one for women, as well as a shower room equipped with a Dyson hairdryer. The lounge is relatively small, with a private room that is perfect for those who prefer solitude. Since there are few First Class passengers, the lounge is quite peaceful.
As for the food, I had already eaten my fill at the Evergreen Business Class Lounge and would be eating again on the plane, so I only had chicken satay and some desserts in the lounge. The chicken satay is exclusive to First Class, while the desserts were taken from the Business Class lounge next door 🤣🤣.
The staff were all very nice, frequently asking if I needed anything to drink. They also took me on a tour of the Business Class lounge next door and provided an introduction.
Taoyuan Airport Terminal 2 - First Experience of the Oriental Aesthetics "China Airlines VIP Lounge"
#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025
China Airlines has a total of four VIP lounges at Taoyuan Airport, two in Terminals 1 and 2 respectively. This time we experienced the Gold Card VIP Lounge located next to Gate D4 in Terminal 2. Following the calligraphy and ink painting design style of Taoyuan Airport, this China Airlines lounge is also decorated in calligraphy style, with a very oriental aesthetic atmosphere.
Freshly cooked beef noodles have always been the selling point of the VIP lounge at Taiwan Terminal. Naturally, I ordered a bowl to try it out. The braised soup was very flavorful. Although it was prepared first and then the soup was added, the overall taste was ok, but it was still a little inferior to the higher-end China Airlines Meiyuan.
The VIP lounge of China Airlines Flight 2 is long and narrow. Everyone is crowded near the dining area. There are quite a lot of people with different appetites. They eat quickly and leave quickly. The waiting room outside is more interesting.

China Airlines' 'Plum Garden' VIP Lounge First Experience: Must-Try Beef Short Ribs, Delicious and Reliable!
First experience at China Airlines' business class exclusive lounge 'Plum Garden'! Thanks to my brother being a China Airlines Diamond member, I got to enter the Plum Garden lounge located at Taoyuan Airport Terminal 2. I must say, it is very unique and has a charming ambiance. The overall design and decor have a traditional feel, which perfectly matches the elegant atmosphere suggested by the name 'Plum Garden'.
In addition to the regular buffet area, Plum Garden also offers a made-to-order main course menu. The flavors here definitely surpass those of the buffet area, especially the must-try beef short ribs. The grilled and pan-seared beef is so tender and flavorful that I ended up ordering a second plate!
The overall resting environment in Plum Garden is quite comfortable and quiet, and the landscaping is very photogenic. If you have the chance to fly with China Airlines, you must come and experience it.
Experience at Taoyuan Airport's DragonPass Lounge: Oriental Club Lounge
Thanks to the DragonPass, I was able to access the 'Oriental Club Lounge' at Taoyuan Airport, located on the fourth floor of Terminal 2 after security. The lounge is newly renovated and stylish, with plenty of seating, though it can get crowded during peak flight times, sometimes requiring a wait.
The biggest selling point of the Oriental Club Lounge is the freshly made hot food. There are six dishes to choose from: braised beef noodles, shrimp roll braised pork rice, goose oil scallion blanched vegetables, wild mushroom sesame oil noodles, healthy vegetable noodles, and taro rice noodle soup. The food is served hot and delicious, and the beef noodles can be customized with less noodles, which is a nice touch.
Besides eating and resting, the lounge also offers shower rooms for a refreshing wash and massage chairs for relaxation, which is quite nice.

Shop Exploration in Taoyuan, Bade Check-in Hotspot, Secret Coffee Land Hidden in an Old Western Building
Taoyuan | @travelerbade
The #TravelerCafeBade Branch in Taoyuan Meimei is a 70-year-old old-style building converted into a detached patio cafe. Surrounded by green plants, the atrium design of the two floors after entering retains the patio characteristics of a traditional western-style building. The sunlight naturally shines on the small central pool, which is really beautiful. I especially like to have different short words written on the table number plate of each table, so that people can find the most suitable sentence for their mood, it is a very cute little idea.
For the meals, the portions are really plentiful! This time I ordered stewed rice and spaghetti. The taste of the stew was Taiwanese, the rice core was a little too soft for me, but the seasoning was rich with milk, which was excellent. The Tang Yang chicken was even more juicy and delicious, a complete highlight.
As for the pasta, the ingredients were given very solid and the noodles were cooked just right. As for the sauce, it would have been better if the tomato flavor could be a little stronger, but overall it was still quite tasty.
Overall, there were quite a few guests here on weekday afternoons. If you have the opportunity to visit Bade, I really recommend coming here to sit, feel the unique charm of the old-style building, and enjoy delicious meals!

Taoyuan|American cuisine with diverse surprises, including both sweet and savory combinations!
Today I went to the "Meat Up" Taoyuan Yuanwen store on the second floor of Zhongmao New World. The overall meal was quite good! We ordered a few dishes, and almost all of them were pleasant surprises, especially the salted egg yolk squid pasta and the bubble milk tea soufflé. I really recommend trying them! The only slight disappointment was the strawberry milkshake which was a little too sweet for me. The portions were generous, especially the red velvet cake, which was surprisingly high when it was served!
#Salted Egg Yolk Squid Italian Noodles
The salted egg yolk sauce is rich and smooth, and pairs well with the springy texture of the squid, giving it a rich flavor.
#StrawberryMilkshake
The milkshake has a dense texture, but is a bit too sweet, and the sourness of the strawberry is a bit masked, which is a bit disappointing.
#Pearl Milk Tea Soufflé
The soufflé is solid yet dense, with a perfect balance between tea and milk aromas, and the pearls are chewy, making it a very successful dessert.
#Mexican Spicy Pizza
The spiciness is moderate, and the crust remains soft even when it cools down. The taste is spicy and refreshing.
#BBQBurger
The burger meat is thick and juicy, and the accompanying sauce is a balanced combination of salty and sweet, with a rich taste and a generous portion.
#AmericanDreamRedVelvetCake
The cake has a soft texture, the cream layer is rich but not greasy, and the super-large red velvet cake is definitely the ultimate expression of American style.
#Calpis Blue Citrus Sparkling Drink
The refreshing Calpis is paired with the sweet and sour taste of blue citrus, and the bubbles are just right, making it suitable for pairing with richer main courses.

Due to recent rain, the trails are a bit slippery, so be careful. There are several trails in the park to choose from. We are heading to the triangulation point, so we will take the self-guided trail (about 3.5 kilometers). The stair facilities are quite good. The triangulation point and the observation deck above are still under maintenance, so we can't go up to see the view. The mountain area is cool, making it a good place to escape the heat.

Taoyuan Shrine: A Touch of Japanese Elegance in Taiwan
On the day I visited Taoyuan Shrine, I was deeply captivated by the surrounding natural environment. As I stepped into the shrine, towering trees and lush greenery greeted me, making it feel like I had entered a serene haven far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. Passing through the torii gate, a gentle breeze brushed against my face, instantly relaxing me as if I had entered a space where time slowed down.
The shrine is not large, but it exudes a tranquil atmosphere. Walking along the stone path, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground, while occasional bird songs added to the natural charm. The lack of many worshippers made the place even more peaceful, giving me time to calm my mind and enjoy a moment of solitude and self-reflection.
This experience made me appreciate the unique charm of the shrine. It is not just a tourist attraction but a place where one can find inner peace and tranquility. As I left, I felt a rare sense of peace and contentment. This space, filled with a blend of nature and culture, is undoubtedly an ideal place to regain inner calm.

Inside the villa, there's a beautiful cherry blossom cabin, and the alley entrance is lined with cherry blossoms on both sides, forming a stunning cherry blossom tunnel that's perfect for photos. If you love cherry blossoms, you should definitely visit!
📍 No. 17, Lane 210, Zhongxin Road, Fuxing District, Taoyuan City
(Located near En'ai Farm, you can take photos outside or stay at the guesthouse)
🚗 You need to drive or hire a car to get there (public transportation is not available).
🐠 Xpark Aquarium Taoyuan
#aquarium #100WaysOfTravel
A newly open high tech aquarium at Taoyuan Taiwan (Address: No. 105, Chunde Rd, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan 320) and open from 10am to 6pm. It is very near to Taoyuan airport and I visit here because I need to fly out early in the morning the next day. This aquarium is modelled after the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise in Yokohama. I have been there before in Yokohama for countdown at the aquarium. The newer aquariums are incorporated with immersive technology which allows visitors to get closer to the natural habitats. There are hands on activities too at this aquarium. I recommend buying tickets online and apply discount to come to this Xpark aquarium.
