Great for a run as The streets of Taipei are generally not. Keeps you going for about 2km - five rounds make a perfect 10K! There are other runners as well as kids playing and old folks doing taiji.

Daan park is a quite escape from the hustle and bustle of Taipei. So many different groups all doing different things. The trees rustle in the wind and within a few steps you feel yourself transported to another place.

Daan Forest Park provides you a great opportunity to catch a breath of fresh air and some quietude if you are done with the claustrophobic MRT or the crowded night markets and shopping areas. The park has a wide range of plants, flowers and water bodies. The plants are provided with the identity boards, which is in Chinese with the... More

Very tranquil and beautiful place, nice to relax, read a book, walk, picnic or any other thing you may want to do there. A spot of tranquility in what is often a very hectic city.

I'm surprised to see this on the list of Taipei sights as to me it's not really a tourist attraction, although it is a very pleasant place to stroll if you live in the city. It is, though, very good for people-watching, providing a lot of variety - and I always love to see people enjoying themselves in a park.

The park used to be great because it had lots of trees and was less developed than other city parks, it was also a great gay meeting spot. Now it is gradually getting paved over, turned into MRT stations and gets very crowded. Still nice if you fancy a run or stroll, but not really worth visiting as an attraction.

Great place to spend a sunny day people watching. On the weekend, head to the east side of the park for a great market with flowers, jade and crafts.
