TAIPEI 101

This time I came to Taipei to play, focusing on a "city exploration + modernity" route! The itinerary focused on Nangang and Xinyi, the weather was cloudy but still could not resist my enthusiasm to find fun attractions and take pictures of food. The itinerary highlights include music, modern architecture and landmark 101, easily take the MRT to go all over, definitely suitable for you who like to feel the rhythm of the city, and not afraid of light rain. 🌆Itinerary Recommendation: Taipei Nangang & Xinyi Modern Attractions Day Inventory 1️⃣ Taipei Pop Music Center 📍Address: No. 99, Section 8, Citizen Avenue, Nangang District, Taipei ⏰ Opening hours: 08:00-18:30 year-round 💸 Tickets: NT$81 Only two steps away from the Cultural Center, the main building is super avant-garde, if you like to feel the new generation music atmosphere in Taiwan, there are small live performances on weekends you can pay attention. There are many snack trucks and hipster drink shops nearby, so you can enjoy coffee while looking at the art buildings. 2️⃣ Taipei 101 📍Address: 89th Floor, No. 7, Section 5, Xinyi Road, Taipei ⏰ Opening hours: 10:00-21:00 year-round Taipei landmark! It is recommended to go to the observation deck at dusk (rain actually instead of a variety of cloud layers), overlooking the entire city; the mall downstairs has a lot of fine goods and souvenirs to choose from, and a hidden restaurant recommendation—Ding Tai Fung Xiao Cang Bao (queue but worth it). If the weather is bad, indoor shopping is suitable for taking pictures. 🚆 Transportation Tips: - Southport Station is an important hub, a 5 minute walk to the Music Center. The MRT Songshan New Store Line connects the city and Xinyi, so you don't have to worry about the route. There are clearly signs when you get off at Nangang Station, which is 2.8 km and 4.7 km away from Songshan and Xike stations respectively. - There is direct MRT near Taipei 101, Xinyi District is well-connected and easy to move even on cloudy and rainy days. 🍔 Food Recommendations: - Hipster snack shop near the music center, recommending hojicha latte and cheese hot dogs. - There are many restaurants (Ding Tai Fung, Chun Shui Tong, Rakuten Dynasty, etc.) in the shopping mall downstairs 101. 🌂 Tips: - Cloudy and rainy days are common in Taipei, remember to bring an umbrella or wear a raincoat, the trip is not disturbed but kind of cinematic. - Some scenic spots (especially the music hall) are closed on Mondays. - 101 recommend booking tickets online early to save the queue. - Best time to take photos at the music center: 4pm, with architectural lines and natural light and shadow at its best. Taipei has always been a place that blends old and new, full of urban rhythm, even on rainy days is very flavorful ~ This time the main music + architectural lines, photography check-in and can listen to music and see the exhibition, you come and try what is called city inspiration

Spend one energetic day in Taipei and feed your adventure with these must-hit food spots around iconic stops! First up, Din Tai Fung (Taipei 101 branch, No. 45, Shifu Rd, Xinyi District). Dive into their world-famous Xiaolongbao—each dumpling bursts with juicy goodness. Don’t skip the Shrimp & Pork Shao Mai or Truffle Xiao Long Bao for luxe bites. The vibe is bustling and polished, right at the base of Taipei 101—soak in the city’s modern energy while you eat. Opening hours: 10:00–21:00. Perfect for fueling up after your morning sightseeing! For lunch, swing by Hangzhou Xiaolong Tangbao (No. 10, Hangzhou S. Rd, Zhongzheng District), a relaxed spot near CKS Memorial Hall serving handmade soup dumplings and savory noodles. Signature dish: their classic pork soup dumplings—the wrapper is thin and the broth flavor deep! It’s a cozy, unfussy setup ideal for a midday recharge. Opening hours: 11:30–20:00. Tip: arrive early to beat the local crowd. Wrap up your evening in Ximending, the epicenter of youth culture and eats. Try Ay Chung Flour-Rice Noodle (No. 8-1, Emei St, Wanhua District), famous for chewy rice noodles in peppery, thick broth. Grab a bowl, stand outside with the crowd, and soak up the neon buzz. Opening hours: 9:00–22:30. This is the true taste of Taipei nightlife—perfect after a day on the move! Pro tip: Wear comfy shoes and hydrate—Taipei is best explored by foot! #Taipei #StreetFood #DayTrip #Dumplings #UrbanAdventure

✨Taiwan Travel Diary – A Journey Full of Heart & Memories 🧳🌸 From the moment I landed in Taipei, I knew this trip would be special! The first stop was none other than the iconic Taipei 101 🏙️—standing tall and proud, piercing through the clouds. The view from the observatory was absolutely breathtaking 😍. As I gazed down at the city lights, it felt like the whole world was glittering beneath my feet 💫. Cingjing Farm 🐑⛰️ — a peaceful paradise surrounded by rolling green hills, cool breeze, and fluffy sheep wandering freely. Feeding them under the wide blue sky was pure joy 💕. Not far away, colorful windmills spun cheerfully in the wind, adding a whimsical touch to the mountain scenery 🌬️🌻. When night fell, Fengjia Night Market came alive with lights, laughter, and mouthwatering aromas 😋🍢. I tried everything — crispy chicken cutlets, bubble tea, and sweet potato balls 🧋🍠✨. Each bite was happiness on a stick! In Taichung, I paid a visit to Yingcai Fude Temple 🙏 and Guangtian Palace 🏮— feeling the calm and cultural beauty of Taiwanese faith and tradition. The scent of incense and the sound of temple bells created a moment of peace in my heart 🌸🕊️. I also explored Yongle Market 🧵— a paradise for fabric lovers and local crafts! Then, I wandered through the historical Longshan Temple 🐉, where time seemed to slow down as I offered a prayer for health and happiness 💖🕯️. Finally, I found myself lost in the charm of Jiufen Old Street 🎐⛩️ — red lanterns glowing in the mist, the smell of tea and taro balls in the air 🍵🍡. I ended my day at Ruifang Station 🚉, grabbing a snack at Ruifang Food Court before heading back. Every stop in Taiwan was a blend of tradition, nature, and delicious discoveries 💕. I left with a full heart, a happy belly, and memories that will sparkle forever ✨🌏💖. #TaiwanTravel#Wanderlust 🧳🌸#cingjingfarm #taipei101 #jiufen
