Travel Information​

Raohe Night Market​

Feng Jia Night Market​

With its wide variety of vendors, delicious street food, and lively atmosphere, it’s no wonder that Fengjia Night Market has become a must-visit destination for tourists and locals alike. As one of the largest and most popular night markets in Taiwan, it provides a glimpse into the heart of Taiwanese culture and offers a unique shopping and dining experience that visitors won’t soon forget.

Jiufen Old Street​

Jiufen (九份), a mountaintop former gold mining town on the northeast coast of Taiwan, is one of the most popular day trips from Taipei.

Visitors and people who live in Taipei flock to Jiufen Old Street because it encapsulates the best of Taiwan in one small package: rich history, atmospheric lanes and teahouses, breathtaking views, and distinctly Taiwanese snacks at every turn. If you’re planning a trip to the country, chances are you’ve already got Jiufen Old Street on your Taiwan travel itinerary.

Cingjing Farm​

Sitting at an elevation of nearly 1750m, Cingjing (also spelled Qingjing) is a beautiful little mountaintop town located in Ren’ai Township, Nantou, Taiwan. It’s famous for being home to Cingjing Farm and the highest skywalk in Taiwan, its cool European-inspired architecture, and proximity to Hehuanshan – one of Taiwan’s highest peaks offering unbelievable alpine scenery.

Even though Cingjing is a relatively small place, it’s home to some incredible experiences that you won’t find anywhere else in Taiwan! While most visitors head to Cingjing Farm on a day trip from Taichung to see flocks of sheep grazing in the Green Green Grasslands, there is so much more to do in Qingjing!

Wander around Cingjing Farm​

Qingjing Farm is such a cool place to visit, and not just to get a close-up look at herds of adorable sheep. The entire farm is incredibly beautiful, and the views are simply mind-blowing!

Qingjing Farm comprises three main areas – Green Green Grasslands, Great Nature Theater Ecological Area, and the Guanshan Pastoral Area. While most people start their visit at the southern gate of Green Green Grassland, I highly recommend kick-starting your visit at the northern entrance, which also happens to be the highest elevated point, and work your way down.

There are tons of sheep grazing on the pastures at Qingjing Farm, and you won’t need to venture far to find them. Along the way, you’ll even find vending machines where you can buy grass to feed them. While it might seem like a cool experience, you should know that the sheep are very greedy! I saw quite a few storming people once they opened the packets. If you’re brave enough, go for it! I certainly wasn’t! Just remember, you aren’t allowed to touch the sheep at all. A bag of feed costs NT$30.

Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf​

Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf is a multi-purpose leisure fishing port developed by the New Taipei City Government. There are magnificent floating piers and a spacious park, with a bridge in the shape of a boat spanning across the harbor and a wooden path stretching over 300 meters at the waterfront. It is relaxing to lean against the fence enjoying the breeze and sights at the Tamsui River mouth. In the evening, this is the best place to watch the view of the sunset.

Fu Hang Dou Jiang​

Fuhang Soy Milk (阜杭豆漿) holds a special place in the hearts of breakfast lovers in Taiwan. For over six decades, this beloved establishment has been serving up mouthwatering soy milk and traditional Taiwanese breakfast dishes. It’s not just a popular spot for locals, but also a must-visit for tourists exploring the vibrant streets of Taipei’s Zhongzheng district.

Yong Kang Beef Noodles​

Yong Kang Beef Noodles 永康牛肉麺館 is known to be one of the best Taiwanese beef noodle joints in Taipei, well-known for its spicy soup. It has also been listed in the first Taipei Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Wang's Broth​

The signature at Wang’s Broth is the braised pork and mushroom with rice, which regulars have christened the "black gold" pork sauce. With the luscious sauce, rich with the fragrance of braised mushroom coating each pearl of rice and tender, juicy mushrooms, it is no wonder the establishment is a Huaxi Street stalwart.

Yangmingshan National Park​

Scenic destination with hot springs & hiking trails, plus the country's largest dormant volcano.

Huashan 1914 Creative Park​

Cultural hub in an old sake winery featuring shops & showcasing local art, film, crafts & events.

WuPaoChun Bakery Taipei​

Wu Pao Chun Bakery is probably the most famous and celebrated bakery in Taiwan.
