What travellers are saying
- Helen R4 contributionsThe most famous landmarks in Taiwan! It’s a super tall skyscraper with amazing views of the city from the observation deck.Inside, there’s a great mall with shops, restaurants, and even a food court where you can try some local dishes.Written 21 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Luciana H1 contributionClimbing Elephant Mountain was a delightful experience! The trail is charmingly lush, and the views of Taipei from the top are simply spectacular, especially at sunset. The sight of Taipei 101 rising above the city is breathtaking.Written 8 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SNottINSingapore505 contributionsThe collection of artefacts across 3 floors and 10-12 exhibit halls are an eye-opener to Chinese art, history and culture. Excellent signage with detailed descriptions in English for all exhibits. The crowds however make the experience sub-par. The ongoing special exhibit with Van Cleef was claustrophobic. The shop was a let-down ...more of a souvenir shop than a museum store. Restaurant on the top floor had good dishes (on the pricey side). If you are making a trip towards Alishan in the South, the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum in Chiayi is outstanding, with way less people to contend with.Written 19 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pfefmeisterSan Francisco, CA4,412 contributionsWe walked over from our hotel, and, though the site is massive, it felt a little run down. Great statue inside a covered hall, much like our Lincoln monument. The museum spells out his life and impact on the citizens of Taiwan, much of it subtitled in English. This is a borderline must visit, perhaps you’ll be more impressed than I was. The Theater and Another building were not open during our visit.Written 12 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SNottINSingapore505 contributionsAn enjoyable 20+ minute cable car ride over tree-clad hills (very smooth and safe) to reach the top, where there are several tea shops. Signposted walking trails through the tea estates are a pleasant way to spend a late afternoon. Some trails can be pretty long and steep though.Written 19 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pfefmeisterSan Francisco, CA4,412 contributionsThis was a long walk from our hotel, but well worth it. Originally built back in 1738, bombed during World War II, and still feels as old as ever. There is a real sense of fidelity here, as believers pray to their spiritual Gods. Try your hand at rolling the - I’ll call them Apple slices - have someone explain it to you. Everyone was doing it. I enjoyed the visit very much and would recommend it highly.Written 12 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kathyh6642017Bellingham, WA120 contributionsWe decided to check out this national park and are glad that we did. It's just outside Taipei but we couldn't figure out the buses so took a cab ($560twd). It was a week day so not too crowded. We were going to hike up (2.4 kilometers) for the 360 degree view, but it was too steep for us coming down, so didn't get entirely up there.
We did catch a bus (1717) coming back to Taipei which was only &45twd each. It brought us right back to Taipei.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julia P4 contributionsWe visited our friend in Taipei and he took us to this observatory! It was an amazing view and could see a whole city of Taipei. It's worth to try at least once !Written 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jon LajomManila, Philippines217 contributionsIt was last October 29 to Nov. 4, 2023 when we visited Taiwan and stayed at Ximending district. It was the first time we traveled with other family members composed of my own family, my Mom, sister, brother and his partner, my Aunt and my niece. We spend our days shopping and dining at different shops and restaurants in the area. We even tried street foods and hawker centers to try local foods. What I liked about Taiwan is the weather and the food.Written 15 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StlmamaSaint Louis, MO64 contributionsThis was our first stop after landing in Taipei. It was fun to walk thru the market and see all the offerings. Yes, the pepper buns are worth the visit! Delicious. Also, the massive chicken fritter is really good. Tons of stuff to try. We didn’t really allow enough time to take it all in since we got there around 10pm and it started raining, causing things to close up early. But, highly recommend.Written 28 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
