Taichung High-Speed Rail Station is a well-designed transport hub that makes traveling in Taiwan smooth and convenient. The station is modern, spacious, and easy to navigate, with clear signage and an efficient layout that keeps crowds moving. Inside, you’ll find plenty of seating, clean facilities, and a good selection of shops and restaurants for quick bites or last-minute essentials. The connection to local transportation, including buses and taxis, is seamless, making it easy to continue your journey into the city.

easy to use, at the northern end of Taichung's multimodal transport center. Much easier to use than Taipei and has the most trains of any HSR station in Taiwan. Easy access to busses to Taichung and Changhua as well as other places in central Taiwan such as Sun Moon lake. Easy access to the MRT as well as the TRA train. Plenty of food options. Most everything is translated into English.

Easy to use and comfortable, clean station. Easy connections to MRT and regular train service in separate adjacent, connected rail stations. Also bus stations. Easy drop off area from Uber and taxi. Friendly ticket booth staff. Well marked signage even in English. Main tip is look carefully for which escalator to ride up to platform, based on whether you have a reserved or non-reserved seat on the HSR train. Decent restrooms.

This high speed rail station is modern, clean, and has many restaurants and shops. The free public restrooms are well maintained. Be sure you go up to the platform early since lines can be long. The trains stop for less than a couple of minutes for boarding, so get ready to hop on as soon as yours arrives! Onboard the train, it is very clean and spacious! The seats are very roomy and much bigger than airline economy seats. You have a tray table, and you're allowed to bring food and beverages. You can stow your luggage with you, in the overhead rack, or in the cubicle at the back of the car.

Very convenient, so clean and modern-looking train station situated in Taichung. The high speed rail is really fast and the wagons are sleek and clean inside it seems that you're in a plane. Taichung station is your gateway when travelling to different destinations in Nantou county, Changhua, and Taichung itself. Staying inside the station while waiting for your next train is really comfortable.

Clean spacious, beautiful design enough places to eat and a great gift shop. There is even a nice garden downstairs. Staff are helpful and everything is so conveniently located. We were waiting for our high speed train to Taipei.

This is a fairly large HSR station with ample facilities, sitting areas, convenience stores, cafés, restaurants, and eateries. It is accessible by the only MRT line operating in Taichung, but taxis would be your best bet. Taxis are inexpensive and it would be around TWD 300 / 400 from the downtown area of Taichung and it should not take longer than 25 minutes (of course, traffic depending on traffic).

Love the colourful village, really brighten up the visit. Can be a bit hot sometimes and no much space to rest. Visitors all busy taking Instagramable photos. There's also a talented busker performing, and some activities to keep young kids occupied. There are a lot of interesting artwork and we spent almost 2 hours there, although the place is actually quite small and the visit can be completed in less than 30mins for some.

Is such a cheerful little spot, full of colors, art, and stories behind every wall. It’s a bit warm walking around, but the bright murals and cute photo corners totally make up for it. Just take it slow, grab a cold drink nearby, and enjoy the happy vibes! 🌈

The art is beautiful, the place is small but full of beauty, clean, perfect for those of you who like taking photos. If you need a friend to come here, I can accompany you. FYI, I'm Indonesian. You can add me on IG = bubu_experience7 My workplace happens to be not far from here.

Rainbow village is a must-see for its incredible backstory and unique visual appeal, but manage your expectations regarding its size. It's a short, colorful stop that is best enjoyed when combined with other taichung attractions like Moment Cafe and Wanggaoliao Viewpoint. #gorgeousventure

Interesting paintings. Very small area. Costs us 300 taxi from city centre. We walked 5mins to take some photos and thats it. Not worth it if you are far away.

Really enjoyed coming to this place, although it is quite a long bus ride away from north district and it is maybe smaller than one would think. I think there's a lot of art to admire, you can also walk along one of the walls to try and find your Chinese zodiac sign which is pretty cool. Additionally, there's a wall where you can leave a special message and hang it there. I enjoyed that concept of leaving something for others to see. If you go, plan in advance while considering bus routes, weather, and while a 711 is somewhat near (north) make sure to bring WATER!

The beautiful colors of rainbow village adapts to the mood of people visiting here. I admit I got tired traveling, but seeing these magnificent murals gave me a rewarding feeling that I can still enjoy my vacation no matter how tired I am

Tried comparing this to the university I went to in the Philippines and realized Tunghai is bigger. But it almost feels the same, it’s surrounded by nature, the air you breathe is fresh. The greenery makes you calm. I even lost my favorite buttoned down polo shirt inside the university premises, if you find it, please contact me. It’s on the first photo for reference.

I have been to several universities in Taiwan but the architecture and history of this university are unique. University is full of greenish surroundings with animal husbandry for research and food purposes which include deer, cows, peacocks, and ducks. The University has a convenience store where you can fresh milk from the University firm and it also has Macdonald's, family mart, star bucks, and many more. The University has a beautifully crafted church and the university is perfect for weekend walks and exploring nature. The University is well connected to public transportation. The University has a night market near campus.

The University compound is so huge. It is open for public to visit as there is a famous attractions building inside the compound, the Luce Memorial Chapel. However, the Chapel only open on certain time if you wish to enter the building. Besides, there is a dessert store that selling milk related products named 乳品小站, the products included ice cream and drinking milk, the milk only available in big bottle but the paper cup is provided and oven is prepared for warm up it. One thing that I like so much about this place is the lush grass, feel so relaxing when laying on it.

Tunghai University is a huge campus. They say this university is the largest campus in Taiwan. Correct me if I'm wrong 😋

THU maybe the most beautiful university in Taiwan .As an exchange student , I have spend 2 months here .What impressed me a lot is the buildings in THU ,most of them have Japanese style that I am really into them .Furthermore ,the students who study in THU are friendly and courteous .Btw ,u can see a number of tourists come the campus everyday ,So it is the factor why I said THU is attractive . All in all ,I love THU .

When I visited the school around 2 pm, the school was quiet. It was perfect for taking pictures. Thank you (the student) Beautiful picture. Are you reading this? ^^ The harmony between school and nature is so beautiful that I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity. It took about 2 hours to turn half a turn. Take your time and visit.

I strongly recommend everyone to visit this beautiful school in which you can release your stress and hang out with your friends or family almost a day.

A great park in the heart of the city, within walking distance from Taichung Main Train Station. There are various walkways, making it enjoyable to roam freely among the trees, near the lake, among rest areas and numerous artworks. It feels full of hidden spots and shady areas to relax or hide. You can also easily spot squirrels, which kids will love. The park has clean toilets, and it's also a pleasant place for pet owners to take a walk.

It is a beautiful place to relax, in the early morning it is good, cool weather , The locals are performing their exercise, plenty of life in the park. Beautiful trees and pieces of nature in the busy city of taichung, The park dates back from 1903 and got Japanese influence. Awesome place and kept clean and serene.

If you're looking for a quick, serene escape in Taichung, this park is the perfect spot. It's an incredibly beautiful and green space where you can stroll along shaded paths, meditate, or just relax. The combination of nature and free Wi-Fi access is wonderfully convenient.

Taichung Park is a beautiful urban oasis that blends natural charm with cultural significance. Its serene lake, arched bridges, and lush greenery make it an ideal spot for relaxation or a leisurely stroll. The historic pavilion adds a touch of elegance and a glimpse into Taichung’s heritage. Well-maintained paths and peaceful surroundings make it family-friendly and perfect for photography. A visit here provides a refreshing escape from the bustling city.

Safe green haven in the frenzy city. Lovely place to chill and relax, possibly tasting some snacks, delicious street food / fried chicken whatever, Taichung has wide choice. Just sit in the shade, feed the birds, look the squirrels, enjoy the lake, read a book, to recover your mood

Free and beautiful park here. Many people picnic and rest here. While there is some live in the evening, nearby the night market. So, worth to walk around to explore here.

After we checked into a nearby hotel and before our dinner, we took a stroll here in the park. It was a weekend and there was an activity going on in the park for kids, it was unusual busy. The park was beautiful.

I was there on a foggy grey day and did not see the sunset. Despite that we still enjoyed ourselves. Get down into the sandbar is highly recommended! First brave the knee deep water that was still icy in springtime. Thanks to our KK day driver and guide for a great day outing!

Sun was hidden behind the clouds 🥲, missed the beautiful sunset view. Great place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. A lot of mini crab and natures.

Beautiful place to see the sunset, often crowded with many coming to view the sunset. I recommend wearing shorts and wearing sandals so you can enjoy the cool water and take good photos.

Gaomei Wetland in Taiwan is a hidden gem! The scenic views of the wetlands and the sea are breathtaking. The boardwalks and trails offer a peaceful stroll with nature. The stunning row of wind turbines silhouetted against the horizon are especially gorgeous during sunset when the golden hour lights up the sky. Timing your visit for sunset is a must - the views are simply stunning! 🌅 Afterward, stroll through the nearby shops and indulge in some sweet treats. A must-visit for nature lovers and those looking for a serene escape from the city. 🌿🐦🌊"

Such a nice place with a perfect sunset viewing its worth it riding my bicycle from Doulio Yunlin County to here.

Beautiful scenery, best to go just before sunset. Quite windy. Nice local pastries on the main lane. You may also walk around the area, there's a temple worth visiting

The weather was not cooperating, overcast, dark and very strong wind. The wind was so strong that you could be blown off the slippery boardwalk into the water. Fortunately the boardwalk was still open, we risked a little walking to the very end of the boardwalk. Too bad we did not have the chance to see a sunset there, but the views were very special.

Very disappointed. They should not say they are lavender forest but I think they can call lavender Gardens. Anyway I went there April 2025 no lavender at all,only small garden for hydrangeas. Also the ticket includes free ice-cream but the machine broken so they offer buy 1 get 1 free ice-cream instead. It was acceptable but also not our responsibility. You should keep maintaining. Staffs are untrained, everyone look confusing when I ask something. Don't say it is not the lavender season. If it's not the season you should closed and keep maintaining the good 'garden'.

This place is lovely! Even when the lavender is out of season, the other flowers are gorgeous to walk around and look at. It is small and a little hard to get to if you're a tourist, but very peaceful, and their ice cream is so yummy. It's cool too to see the kinds of products they can make from the plants. The staff is also very kind. I couldn't find a taxi to get me off the mountain and went to ask one of them for help, and she instantly made a couple calls to find me a ride and even informed one of the other employees of the situation too so that both of them could help me if I needed while waiting.

Peaceful and Refreshing Day Out Visited Taipei Lavender Garden and really enjoyed it. It’s a calm spot to unwind and just enjoy being surrounded by nature. There are lots of lovely lavender and rose products, soaps, creams, massage oils, teas and everything smells amazing. They also have aromatherapy areas, which add to the relaxing vibe. We tried the lavender, oolong, and lemongrass ice cream, all really good and not too sweet. The cafe serves nice picnic-style food that you can enjoy outdoors, which makes the whole experience feel cozy and laid-back. There are walking trails around the garden, so you can stroll around, take in the scenery, and just slow down a bit.

Very expensive for entry and they give you 100nt tokens to take off when you buy in the grounds, but it’s very expensive, for example a coffee is 180nt for just a basic black coffee. The ice cream they sell is 150nt with token you still need to pay 50nt. If you’re giving token I think items should be a small bit lower in cost, everything is inflated. The one star is solely because of the cost it’s very expensive considering the local cost in Taiwan. The ground are beautiful and well kept, staff are nice, the girl at the entry where you buy the ticket is really nice. I don’t think I’d comeback due to the cost. But overall was a nice experience.

Pretty garden with good food! Lavender ice cream is delicious. Will be back if given a chance.

Lavender season just finished wgen I visot but it's still with the experience & enjoy the others flowers & natural fresh air. The journey to the cottage mostly single lane, exercise cautions.

Unless you drive , otherwise, it’s a long way to visit there. And, It’s relatively small that I expected. Maybe I visited it in late September and low season, not many places are truly spectacular compared to the lavender season. And you have to be creative if you want to take some great photos with different flowerings season.

Really beautiful place but the entry fee of 350 dollars is quite expensive. The lady on the gate wasn’t very nice either her manner is quite rude. The restaurant food didn’t try, it’s very expensive even with the 100nt voucher the give you we did spend it or order food. Good place to take wedding photos if you want to. Not easy to get there if you don’t have a car. Overall it was ok, one of the places once you see it once you don’t go back. Really suggest look at the entrance fee before planning to go there. There actually isn’t much to do here only walk around.

Xinshe Castle is pure magic 🌿🏰 – like a European fairy tale hidden in the heart of Taiwan. Perfect escape from city noise, with peaceful gardens, stone castles and fresh air that makes you forget the world. Best way to get here? Rent a scooter in Taichung 🛵✨ The ride itself is part of the adventure – winding roads, jungle scents, and breathtaking mountain views. Honestly, it’s something you just have to experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and capture unforgettable moments 📸💫

It’s an amazing place! We just went there this afternoon for the first time (Tuesday) and there was hardly anyone else. It’s just like our own castle and that experience was fantastic. There’s a great little wooden trail which was nicely taken care of. Just come and you won’t be disappointed. I heard the castle was built 20 years ago, it’s hard to see a private location that’s well maintained in Taiwan for that long. Take your time there, have a cup of coffee, stay chill.

Very pretty, a little pricy. Signs and info structure should be upgraded. Not easy to visit the whole place with a stroller or wheelchair.

There is an entry fee. The location is not easily accessible by public transport The castle area is pretty huge and takes about 2 hours to cover everything. There is a restaurant inside. A good place to visit during cherry blossom time

It’s quite far from Taichung city. And no public transportation that go to this place. So, you need to use your own car / motorcycle or taxi. Meanwhile, it’s bit pricey. The admission fee is $350 per person. Although you get a credit of $100 per person to use on drinks or food, the food and drink there is quite expensive too. The castle is huge and beautiful. A great place to visit if you like beautiful scenery and you have more free time~

Great place, very well kept grounds with beautiful flowers, fish to feed and woodland walk. A couple of places to get drinks and food (although didn’t have the food, only drinks). Had live music by the pond when we were there which was very relaxing. Some lovely places to take pictures. Will definitely visit again with a picnic.

Nice, spectacular, magnificent Temple, Marvelous, Mazu Temple , Liked. Must see the basement for Great Collections.

Located in Dajia, Taizhong. A beautiful historical Chinese temple. There is a lot of street food outside the temple which you can visit after visiting the temple. The architecture of the temple is incredible. It is near the train station which is about 10mins walking distance from the train station. A lot of people went for the prayer. Or you can just visit. No ticket is required for visiting. Overall a good place to visit when you are coming to dajia

One of the most beautiful temples.

I like stopping to pray here, the atmosphere in the area is very busy... especially when there are celebrations... lots of people selling food around the area but in this area now there are lots of people who like to beg for money and sleep carelessly in the Vihara area... toilets are available but sometimes they are very dirty and smelly (sorry)..🙏🏻

First day of the year… I went to this amazing Temple with my Honey… I was impressed how beautiful is this Temple and how many people… Also very busy market and delicious street food! Well done! Go Taiwan Go!

In 2022, April 1st coincides with the first day of “March” by Lunar Calendar. There is saying that this month is the month crazy for Mazu, one of the deities in Taiwanese culture. Among all religious activities around Mazu, Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage is the biggest one. The duration usually spans 10 days 9 nights. The route covers a lot of towns and villages in central Taiwan where Mazu worship is deeply rooted in the soil and people's blood. If you visit Taichung, Changhua or Yulin during this month, why not join part of this event hailed by Discovery Channel as one of the world's 3 major religious festivals?

Ma zhu temple. There’s a basement where it houses the gold statue. Very worth the time to pay that a visit. Many ppl praying.

Annual event by the locals. Nice walk about in the sea of flowers. Definitely instagram-able. Entrance to the park is free. The organising committee even arranged for complementary shuttle service to ferry the visitors from various train stations to the event. Very much appreciated. And like most events, there are plenty of street food and snacks; ice cold drinks to keep the stomach happy and heat away.

The Xinshe Sea of Flowers was an absolutely breathtaking experience for me and my family. Visiting during this annual event in Taichung, Taiwan was like stepping into a colorful dreamscape. The fields stretched on with vibrant blossoms—cosmos, sunflowers, marigolds—each creating a stunning patchwork of color that seemed endless. The festival's thoughtful theme added an extra layer of wonder, with intricate floral designs and installations that were both whimsical and impressive. My wife, mother-in-law, and our one-year-old baby all enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the unique displays. It was a perfect blend of natural beauty and creative artistry. The educational centers on site were also a pleasant surprise, offering insights into Taiwan’s floral and agricultural history, making the visit as informative as it was enjoyable. And with free admission, it felt like a gift to both locals and tourists. This is a must-visit if you're ever in Taiwan during late November to early December. Our experience was unforgettable, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene and colorful escape. 🌸🌻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Free transportation from nearby cities, no entry fee, many booths provide freebies or samples, besides they are many food stalls on site. You can spend half day there easily.

A bit of a drive from Taichung, but a great place to see flowers, some structures and people watching. place was jam packed on a sunday afternoon. Besides flowers, lots of small market vendors selling nick nacks and food. Parking was a bit of a mess and Uber took a while to get from Xinshe to Taichung. Absolutely worth a visit but be patient.

Super crowded. The place is nice! There was a free shuttle to get there.

A lot of flower and thanks for the good weather too. I visited last year Nov. And, there was an event here. There was a small market there selling the organic goods and some snack. We are enjoy here but kindly check the flower seasons before you arrange a trip to here. You may skip here if you are visit here after the flower blossom season or raining season.

Loved the flowers here! So pretty and organized! Pick weekdays to go so it’s less crowded, they do close at 4:30pm so try to get there early! Flower season might already be over this year, was scheduled for 11/11/23-12/3/23 so pretty short. I was there a couple of weeks ago. Worth checking out if you’re looking for a place to go in the area, a bit harder to get to without a car.

Daxueshan is a fantastic destination for birders. It is also much calmer and quieter than other developed resort areas like Alishan and Shanlinxi. Driving up the mountain can be a challenge if you aren't experienced.

Great customer service, everyone at the park is extremely friendly and helpful. The park is clean and well maintained. One of the trails is closed for maintenance so please check before you plan your visit. We stayed at the small wooden cabin, it is also very clean and water is hot. The meal is buffet style. Our family had a wonderful stay!! We will visit again for sure! 👍👍

It's beautiful and very dense forest. Deer, Bears and forest monkey are easily visible there. It is cold place even during summer also. So please carry warm jacket when visited this site. For the Taichung resident, ticket price is only 100 NTD.

I should describe this place as wonderful. Been there in early September, when it was so hot and humid in Taipei. whereas this place was so chilling at noon. If you are planning to stay longer at the top, consider taking a jacket. Please try to go to the top, the road is good, can drive car to the top. There are information centers along the way and there is a facility for drinking water (both hot and cold) and clean toilets. You can also buy some snacks. Lookout for birds and the beautiful mountains.

"The Great Snow Mountain" national forest park locates in the middle Taiwan. The elevation is over 2000 meter. There are serval trails, where one can walk inside forests. There are two famous giant "Red Juniper" trees in the forest trails, the small one is estimated over 1000 years old, and the big one is about 1500 years old. There are a variety of wildlife. I am lucky seeing unique birds including "Imperial Pheasant" and "Blue-bellied Pheasant". Super happy 😃 ❤️ 👍!

The second highest mountain on the island where has been protected as natural as possible maintaining its own looks, beautiful landscape you may see up there! You must arrange at least one full day to discover the beauty of the mountain!

A great place for mountaineering. There are plenty of trails to hike and peaks to climb. You may need shuttle services or drive on your own as transporting between where you stay and the trailheads.

(Translated by Google) Although the journey is really far, the beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, rumored million maple leaves, and abundant apples along the way make all the hard work on the journey worth it. I really recommend taking a walk if you have the chance. praise! (Original) 雖然路途真的很遙遠,但是，沿途美美的天氣，漂亮的風景,傳聞中的百萬楓葉,結實累累的蘋果，路途上的一切辛苦，都是值得的。有機會真的很推薦去走一走。讚！

The lake is gorgeous... Taiwan is beautiful!!

must visit! Xueshan is a part of the Shei-Pa National Park and so climbers are required to apply for a park entry permit. This can be done 7–30 days in advance. After that a police mountain entry permit must be applied for. This can be done at the police station in Wuling Farm on the spot. There are two cabins on the trail. The first, Chika Cabin, is at the 2.0 kilometers (1.2 mi) mark. The second, 369 Cabin, is at the 6.9 kilometers (4.3 mi) mark. Both cabins are spartan, and contain bunker style beds. Hikers must bring their own sleeping and cooking gear. The peak is at the 10.9 kilometers (6.8 mi) mark.

The view here is so breath taking.. beautiful, scenic and you could watch the rest of west taiwan from here..

I love Taiwan....its a very beautiful place to visit...I want to go back soon..

2nd highest mountain in Taiwan. Extraordinary view up on the peak.

If you reach here, you are the ruler of Taiwan.

Very good hiking trail

Convenient station, with regular public services (toilets, convenient stores, ATM...). Local and express trains do stop here.

Easy access, a few shops inside. Serviced ticket counter as well as easy card use. Quick trip up and down the coast.

Haven't been to this station in several years. Even though part of the station is new (since my last visit) the station itself seems a bit run down. That said, it still serves the purpose nicely.

OK

not bad

Very good

Train Station going any places in Taiwan..

Popular night market in Hsingchu. Temple is in the center. Crowded, quite difficult to find seating space. Plenty of street food options . Soak in the vibes

Have you tried one of the most famous Taiwanese Night Market food ? You have to try this one “ Oyster 🦪 Omelette “ it is not just traditional Oyster Omelette but it is a very unique Crispy Omelette:) This is perfect 🤩 and fresh , I have tried so many oyster omelette in Taiwan But now this is my Favorite ❤️ if you like spicy flavor !! You have to tell the chef that you want to add the chili 🌶️ souce 😍😍wow !!! So Good !! Moreover such big amount of oyster 🦪 omelette which is a lot bigger than my face😄 only costs 80 NTD(2.5 USD)

A not so big night market. But it is place which sells Hsinchu famous food, mee fen, fried oyster, "Gan" ball etc It is located outside the temple, and about 10min walk from HsinChu TRA station.

Smaller than the famous night markets in Taiwan but it does the job if you like the Taiwanese food. Many small stalls presenting the variety of food. Its clean and hygienic as usual. Nearby places and streets are worth the stroll. Lovely scenes and beautiful locations. Better to rent the YouBike bicycle and roam around, you will fall in love with it.

We ate here en route to 清境农场 (Cingjing a.k.a. Qingjing Farm). Lunch venue was at this shop" 王家蚵仔煎" located in the vicinity of Hsinchu's City God Temple inside sort of an alleyway lined with food stalls selling the city's all-time favourite and old-time flavours such as Hsinchu rice vermicelli (新竹米粉), fish balls and pork balls (魚丸, 贡丸). The duck egg pancakes sold along the streets were also delicious. We bought 4 pieces for NT$30. The jam is home-made; there's chocolate, custard, lemon, red bean and plain as filling options for those pancakes. This night market operates earlier than most other night markets found in Taiwan but the stalls are not as many as the rest.

This temple is definitely on the list of place to visit if you are traveling to discover Hsinchu. Despite being old and full of history, this temple has interesting design and it's usually quite lively. But the surrounding scene, full of local restaurants, just a few steps away from the main altar, is surprisingly funny. It's like a "Let's pray for whatever we believe or expect, and then, let's enjoy some local food speciality to celebrate it".

This is one of the must-see attractions if you are in Hsinchu, which is not saying much. It is much like a night market except it only sells food, closes early, and has a temple attached.....But there are stands, small eateries and sitting spaces and the vibe is similar if you catch my drift. It is a very cultural experience. They sometimes have events there like a Hakka pig butchering or a lion dance. It's wonderful and you can smell the sweet incense from the mall. The toilets are back there and they are clean enough as far as night market bathrooms go. You can get all the Hsinchu staples here, vermicelli, pork balls, squid soup, oyster pancakes, and crystal meat balls stamped with different red shapes depending on the stall or flavors. They also have other specialty foods like fried black water caltrop, fried taro balls, fresh herbal tea. Highly recommend!

Nice place to look around briefly. There's an underpass from the river nearby (don't try to cross the roundabout!!). Cool piece of history in the middle of the city. The rivers nearby are also really nice. If your bus is quite late (it probably is let's be real) come check it out!

A nice place to drop by to look around and take photo.

Nice historical place. Best to see it in the evening.

Nice place to drop by if you're nearby. There is a large underpass where teenagers practice dancing at night, complete with sockets for public use. You can cross the massive roundabout using the underpass instead of having to battle the cars and scooters. A neat historic monument to check out.

Enjoyed watching the sunset near the east gate. Also enjoyed the fashion district and claw machines places.

I like this place, from the photo there's a cheap steak house just above the Giordano store. So many food to choose from, my only complaint is that it has so small room and few table good for couple, and 4-6 group of people. During peak hours you have to wait because theres a long qeue.

Anytime you can visit I have a nice experience in here with my friends.❤

I visited during weekend.. To be honest, area is not large, only few animals..Getting parking area is very difficult. However, near the zoo area, there is some other places, a sports complex, a park and a traditional market.

Hsinchu Zoo is one of my favorite places to visit from time to time, especially with a lot of green landscape and quite smooth access trails for kids and the elderly. Besides those amazing spots of animals living , there is a fabulous Starbucks coffee shop in the Park area where used to be one of historical buildings in Hsinchu Zoo. However, we found the stairway access to the 2nd floor of Starbucks Coffee Shop was full of SPIDERWEBS almost everywhere , which gave us an astonishing sense of Halloween Decoration Could Hsinchu Zoo Administration Team please make the environment more attractive with tidiness and cleanliness for Zoo visitors a better impression. We really appreciate the friendly atmosphere you create for Zoo Visitors. Thank you so much.

This is very first time to visit zoo in Hsinchu.. Time and date: 2025/09/24 Wednesday evening It's good to visit in weekdays as I didnt have to wait at the entrance. You can pay using easycard or use machine to buy tickets..

Hsinchu Zoo is clean. You can spend like 20 to 30 minutes to enjoy the view and check all the animals around the zoo. Also, the huge tress are beautiful🤩. A good place to visit while you are at Hsinchu.

Small zoo. Easily can walk through in 2 hours. Worth a visit if you got nothing to do. Can use easy card at the entrance. There is water supply and a café inside as well. Easily accessible for wheelchairs and kids.

A zoo in Hsinchu, a small scale zoo only. Not too far away from the railway station, about 10 minutes walk from the station. Spending about an hour in the zoo is more than enough. The animals inside seems not very active and some of them looks quite old. The entry fee is not expensive, it cost around NTWD$45 for an adult ticket while buy it in apps.

A relatively small zoo with a limited collection of animals. Ticket is cheap and accessible with a good size car park. Kids enjoy the zoo as they manage to see most of the animals in the zoo.

Worst Swatch store I have ever been to, bad service,bad vibe,everything feels wrong in here.Asked some questions,employee don’t even know what to do.DO NOT COME HERE!

(Translated by Google) I passed by this store today and bought a watch for my son (1,900 yuan). The service staff today was very polite and friendly (a girl with short hair). After choosing, she gave the new product to the customer. If there are any problems with the watch in the future, all major branches can repair it, which is great. (Original) 今天路過此店，幫兒子買一個手錶（1900元），今天服務人員很有禮貌親切（短頭髮女生），挑好之後會拿新品給顧客，未來手錶有問題各大分店都可以維護，很棒。

Unhelpful

(Translated by Google) Going to replace the battery tonight The young girl at the Swatch counter is very considerate Careful testing and instructions Offer to help clean your watch Thank you so much (Original) 晚上去更換電池 Swatch櫃枱年輕妹妹很貼心 細心的測試及說明 主動幫忙清潔手錶 非常感謝

(Translated by Google) Replacing the battery is a basic service, but the attitude of the service staff is unique! ! Who is the person on duty at noon on 2024/2/18? You don't even look at anyone, so what are you talking about? (Original) 換個電池是基本服務，可是服務人員態度之差，絕無僅有！！2024／2／18中午的值班人員是哪位啊？眼睛都沒正眼看人，跩什麼啊？

(Translated by Google) Come visit at 17:40 on September 30, 2018. The one I want to complain about is not the Swatch counter, I want to complain about the Tissot counter. 1. The lady at the counter is lazy at work and plays with her mobile phone all the time at work. 2. When I asked about the price of replacing the battery, I was told it was 1800-2000, which was scary. 3. When I asked why it was so expensive to replace the battery, the lady couldn’t explain clearly. When she wanted to ask further, she seemed impatient. 4. The lady said: You can exchange it with someone else. You don’t have to wait three weeks and it’s cheaper. I would like to ask, is this the level of Tissot’s education and training and counter store staff? Or is it a watch that costs tens of thousands, and only idiot consumers will buy it? I bought it to make myself angry. (Original) 2018/9/30晚上17:40來逛。 要抱怨的不是Swatch專櫃，想要抱怨天梭(Tissot)專櫃的。 1. 顧櫃檯的小姐工作懶散，上班一直玩手機。 2. 詢問換電池的價錢，一開口就是1800-2000，嚇死人。 3. 詢問說為什麼換電池要這麼貴，小姐解釋不清楚，想要進一步詢問的時候，就顯得不耐煩。 4. 小姐說：你可以找外面的換，不用等三週，也比較便宜。 我想請問一下，這就是天梭的教育訓練和專櫃門市人員的水準嗎？還是一支上萬的錶，都是白癡消費者才會買？買來氣死自己。

(Translated by Google) I changed the battery at noon and it took less than 1 minute. (Original) 中午去換電池，不到1分鐘就好了

Nice place with good assortment of seafood in the wet market. Also a plenty of choices for food.

Nice place for sight seeing ....

Very happy, caving satisfied

Beautiful sunset

Good place to visit. Very scenic. But at night there aren't enough lights and it gets too dark.

Great place to go for a sea view

Smangus - God’s tribe !! It took us almost 4 hours from Taiwan to Smangus. Beware of there were traffic regulations of these winding roads into the tribe. There were coop in the main parking lot to serve breakfast / lunch and dinner . There was a small convenience store next to the coop . Many log cabins for accommodations. I love this beautiful historical tribe: many beautiful hiking trails. Clean bathrooms available for this 5 K route. The attitude was around 1600 meter. It did not get chilly just comfortable . The most famous hiking trails to the red wood area was flat and manageable. Alone the trail, the vegetation changed with so much to appreciate . A very enjoyable place to visit .

Beautiful small village. The villagers are friendly, even the children. You can booked a homestay so you can watch the sunrise over the beautiful mountains. Gaze the stars at night time. Stroll around the village or take a hike heading to old giant trees. Would love to visit again soon during the sakura blooming season.

Beautiful indigenous village with cherry blossoms, bamboo groves and giant trees! Definitely worth visiting, esp during cherry blossom season, but the roads leading to the place are narrow and some not well paved! A long and tough driving journey!

What a marvelous place! It is, indeed, a God’s tribe. In addition to the amazing views, you can feel the fabulous chi to really turn you on once you entered the entrance. Heard about this place for s long time but it’s very hard to book a room inside. Anyway, so glad to finally make the trip reality and enjoyed it very much. Actually, kind of planning my next trip already.

(Translated by Google) I love all the children in this deep mountain. Intuitively, I am the Atayal people. Tainan came here. Although the road is far away, the mood is surging. Here, you can watch all Atayal people carefully. Their innocence, simplicity and enthusiasm make you feel that they live in more than two hours away from Neiwan, they are content and happy and united. Children above the junior high school must leave this hometown where they lived for a long time, go to Zhudong to study, and even go to high schools to other counties and cities. After graduating from university, they will return home to work together to take care of this land. Every time the car slowly left the park, my sorrow came alive, this is no good, when will I come back? The leisure and romance of travel is that when you set off for your destination, you already have that atmosphere and mood ready, right?

- the service was bad from the only restaurant. food was ok. - the unpaved road condition is not good. a SUV is recommended - Temp difference in the morning and at night is big - too commercialized to feel any true aboriginal culture - the accommodations are good and acceptable judging from such a remote rural location.

Popular spot in the mountains with several hiking trails. Travel is long with small roads but worth the view. Accommodation is simple but nice.

It's a very pleasant street with many food options. In addition to the beautiful view of the bridge.

Monday = most shops closed. Couldn't get there on a weekend, so not Neiwan's fault 😌. Have some fun at the go cart track ( the first one)

A very local place with tons of food options. Most tourists here are locals. You can allot 1-2 hours strolling this street or stay a night for hotsprings or camping

Went on a weekend but not as crowded manage to enjoy it. Lots of nice food along the way up to the train station. Nice meat skewers, yam cake, lu wei and ice cream. Plan more time there to explore the place didn't get to fully enjoy it as I was with tour.

Beautiful old street in Taiwan. Take a one hour slow train ride from Hsinchu train station to view and enjoy the scenery to and from this destination. I was here on a Monday and many shops were not open. I imagine that the crowd and activities will be a lot more on weekends. Lots of street food and sit-down restaurants and souvenirs and snack shops. All the stall owners are genuinely sincere and happy to chat with you.

Lively and amazing old street in Hsinchu. However, most shops are closed except for the market on weekdays and there is nothing much to do. On weekends, however, all shops are open. On weekend the streets are extremely lively and sell local produce that tastes pretty good. Recommended to come on weekends only.

A very authentic old street to go and walk around you can find lots of local delightful street food and a cafe to hang around.. feel sad didn't have enough time to visit an 100 yes old church.. also nearby old street next to it has a karting circuit and playground park for kids to play. Love the place lots. Will definitely plan for my next trip again for missing spots..

Big place for stopovers. Lots of food to choose from. No gasoline station. There is Mcdonalds inside this servive area. The restroom is very clean.

Very nice Freeway Rest Stop on National No.3 , head north or South, a good place to find a snack and meal before heading to destination. Liked.

Very nice rest stop with plenty of parking and super clean modern bathrooms with bidets. Lots of food choices and pleasant outdoor spaces for relaxation. When we visited around 5 pm on 4/8/22 the line for gas was so long I decided to press ahead without filling up. Otherwise a great place to stop northbound. You can even buy fresh produce and cut pineapple here!

Update: 1/14/21 The new service stop turns out really wonderful. It’s first time I ever visited a public bathroom with toilet seat wasslet! How luxury! The park around it has good views and you will forget you are in the rest area. They have this awesome dog run with dog cafe where pet owner can let the dog run outside while you seat comfortably dine inside. Great seating area design as well. Love this place!!!!! Under construction. But love the water lily pond there. Beautiful.

A popular rest stop with very clean toilets, food stalls, pastry and snack stalls, bakery and Macdonald.

You can have a rest, buy some meals, and coffee also souvenirs. I Suggest you go to the level 2 and try the Hakka Restaurant. Highly recommended for the foods

I love this place. The food is tasty and a lot of choice for BBQ. Special Bún bò Quế

This was a fun amusement park about an hour drive from Taipei. Definitely worth the special price unlimited ride day pass for non-Taiwanese (550ntd on KKday). There is also a water park that is connected, but we didn't go. We arrived at 9:30am right as the park opened and spent a full day there (until 4pm, park closes at 5 pm). It was sunny with a bit of cloud cover and about 33°c with lots of places to get out of the sun. So it was comfortable, but hot. Most of the rides were up and running and there were virtually no lines for any rides must of the day. The rides were fairly good with all the standard favorites. Tower drop, boat over a water fall, pirate ship, spinning tea cups, salt n pepper shaker, ring of fire, mini rollercoaster ect.... The one unique ride that stood out was the screaming Condor this is a mag lev powered top rail roller coaster that launches you at high speed about 7 stories in the air straight up and down on a cork srew track. Only issue was the delay between rides as the system needs time to cool down. There are several other activities including VR, small video arcade, grabmachines, and typical carnival games (no shooting gallery). The park is divided into the Arabian, south Pacific and wild west sections. There is an animal/safari section. But the safari is pretty lacking. Basically just monkeys, some typical herbivores in small pens and the carnivore bus tour was hardly worth the time. Bus driver raced around and didn't do a good job of lining the bus up for people to take pictures. Don't waste your time. Many of the restaurants and snack huts weren't open ( this was a Thursday not a holiday day). Still there was enough options to get by and we ate burgers and got some Turkish ice cream. All in all very worthy discounted price of 550ntd for the day pass. I certainly would not be willing to pay full ticket price which is around 1200 to 1600 NTD depending on your age. If you can get the discounted tickets go for it. As soon as the staff's on my white face it was a non-issue even though I was going in with some local Taiwanese we all ended up with the discounted price. We were never asked for any sort of ID but it's always a good policy to have at least a picture of your passport on your phone just in case.

A great place to spend the day! My biggest remark is the lovely sir who drives the bus. We stayed until almost 9 pm for the Halloween event and have no way to go home. He saw us waiting and kindly drive us to Taipei even though we were only three (my friend, my husband and me). So amazing to have a place that cares about its customers like this. I wish I knew the driver’s name, he definitely deserves the praise 🙏🏽 Further more the staff is overall kind and patient, the rides are fun and the animal zone is amazing I would recommend it 100% (though the haunted house was a bit too scary for me)

My wife and I had an amazing time at Leofoo theme Park. The weather was excellent, the park was much better managed than I expected, clean, organized, and very well maintained. The staff were extremely polite and helpful, and prices for ticket, food and souvenirs were reasonable. The safari experience is the greatest highlight. The train and bus rides brought us very close to the star animals like lions, tigers, zebras, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, buffalo and more. It has lesser animal than Taipei zoo for sure but I enjoyed here much more! We also loved the Monkey Skyway ride, where we could enjoy an aerial view of the monkeys and other animals at our own pace. We visited on Monday afternoon and it wasn’t crowded at all, no waiting time for most rides. The water park was closed (was told it only open in summer), but we honestly didn’t feel like we missed anything because there was already so much to enjoy. We should have arrived earlier, time flew by too quickly. Out of my 10 day trip in Taiwan, I enjoyed here the most. Thank you Leofoo for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

Leofoo Village Theme Park is one of Taiwan’s most iconic amusement destinations, located in Guanxi Township, Hsinchu County. It uniquely combines a large-scale theme park with a safari wildlife zoo, making it a standout attraction for families, thrill-seekers, and animal lovers alike. Key Features Four Themed Areas: The park is divided into four main zones, each with its own immersive environment: Wild West: Experience the American frontier with classic western architecture, live shows, and the park’s most famous ride, the Screaming Condor—an inverted shuttle roller coaster that launches riders at high speed. Other attractions include the Grand Canyon Rapids and themed dining options like steakhouses and burger joints. African Safari: This section doubles as Taiwan’s largest open-range safari, home to around 70 species and nearly 1,000 animals, including rare white tigers, lions, zebras, and baboons. Visitors can tour the safari by train (Nairobi Express) or bus for close-up animal encounters. South Pacific: A tropical-themed area with water rides, thrill rides, and vibrant scenery. The log flume and drop tower are major highlights. Arabian Palace: Step into a magical, adventure-filled world inspired by Arabian tales, featuring rides like the Sultan’s Adventure and the Flying Horse monorail. Safari Experience: Leofoo Village is renowned for its safari park, where guests can observe animals in spacious, naturalistic habitats—an experience unique among Taiwan’s amusement parks. Family-Friendly Attractions: The park offers over 30 rides and attractions, catering to all ages—from adrenaline-pumping roller coasters to gentle rides and interactive animal experiences. Dining and Amenities: Multiple themed restaurants and food stalls are available throughout the park, with options ranging from Western-style meals to local snacks. Facilities are family-friendly, with clean restrooms and stroller access. Accessibility: Leofoo Village is an easy day trip from Taipei and offers enough activities to fill a full day, or even a weekend if you stay at the adjacent safari hotel or visit the waterpark. Visitor Tips Arrive early to make the most of your visit, as the park closes around 5 PM and some food stalls may close earlier. Bring water and snacks, as there are no free water stations, though bottled water is available for purchase. Check the show schedule upon arrival to catch live performances and water fountain shows. Dress appropriately for the season—winters can be chilly and windy. Leofoo Village Theme Park remains a classic and must-visit destination for anyone traveling in Taiwan, offering a blend of amusement park thrills and up-close wildlife encounters that appeal to all ages.

No line, and good size theme park and good customer service and good ride. Me and my daughter enjoy our day at the park. Perfect start up before hit the water park. Highly recommended.

get tickets on KLOOK anyways went during their halloween period so the displays were definitely way more interesting than a normal visit on another day queues were long (saturday) queued 1.5-2hours .... cold cold cold but fun ! would come back again !

I love it. The adrenaline rushing through my veins going to my heart. The extreme rides make me feel alive. The only thing that I didn't like was the price of the food and souvenirs. It's very expensive

A very beautiful park with very fresh air for hiking and get rid of the noise of city life. The road to the park is very narrow so that no big tour bus can get to the area. Unfortunately the attitude of the people in the ticket box was not friendly. That made the trip not so happy. Luckily the atmosphere and fresh air brought back good mood after the hiking. A place you may go many times as the seasons change, the feeling is different.

Breath taking place, you can take many photos there, but the road is narrow and dangerous

I would say it’s a 6-star! Extremely relaxing place. It brings you a peaceful atmosphere.

A beautiful pond beside the northern trans express way, surrounded with lots of tall red wood trees. The air is so fresh and cool even if in the summer mid day. The color of the pond changes with the seasons from meadow green in Spring to colorful yellow and red in Fall. People can take a walk on the hiking trails or have a picnic on the lake side.

My first time came here maybe in 2006.

Gorgeous lake. Well worth the long, winding drive up the mountain to see it.

Beauty of nature that calm your heart and soul.

It is a place you never forget. You will have full of surprises when visiting in different season.

This is the reason i love taiwan... 🥰

Gorgeous mountain Vista.

(Translated by Google) Cycling up the mountain alone allows me to calm down and think about the future. (Original) 一個人騎車上山 可以好好冷靜 想想以後的日子怎麼走

(Translated by Google) The air is fresh and full of phytoncides. The trail is not difficult to walk and is suitable for all ages. There are few parking spaces in the parking lot, so if you go too late, you will have to take a taxi. If you live nearby, you can ride a motorcycle in and don't have to wait in line for a parking space. (Original) 空氣清新，很多芬多精，不是難走的路，老少咸宜，停車場車位很少，太晚去要搭計程車進去，住附近的可以騎摩托車進去，不用排隊等停車位。

(Translated by Google) Some ancient trees thrive, some have fallen, and one has vanished without a trace. The weather was perfect, the crowds were perfect, and the timing was perfect. A 6-hour round trip by bus costs only NT$120 with a Taoyuan City Card. (Original) 有些神木活得很挺拔，有的已經倒下了，還有一顆消失無蹤。 天氣剛好、人潮剛好、時間控制剛好 來回坐6小時公車，桃園巿民卡只要120元

(Translated by Google) We saw all 24 sacred trees and even took some artistic photos with them. 🤣 My husband said he wanted to take a deep breath and felt refreshed. (Original) 24棵神木都看完 還跟神木拍了藝術照🤣 老公說要大口呼吸 心曠神怡

Nice flower farm with lots of parking spaces, amazing varieties of sunflowers and a large banquet hall. The food was delicious. The cold chicken dish had a taste of smoked meat while the ribs were very tender. There are tons of sunflowers of different heights to enhance your photographs. They also offer ladders for you to spice up your selfies. There are many food outlets and activities for the kids. Their train and boat are quite nice. Only concern was the amount of kids not wearing masks and crowding together.

Brilliant for family, many things to do such as small train for kids, goat and chicken to see as well as birds and rabbit. Flower picking and some veggie picking, free parking too

There is a few rows of sunflowers, overall not that big, but not a bad. Place is good for taking children as quite alot of activities for them. It gets a bit crowded on the weekend. At least there is plentiful parking which is a Plus!

Good play to hang around for great view of flowers. The parking around the area is free! Just abit crowded, cause the area isn't that big!

The have sunflowers all year round! You can pick a variety of sunflowers for a price. Best place to take photos!

It's good to go late afternoon , not to hot, and not much people. No entrance fee

Lavender and snapdragon are in blooming. Love the flowers but not those man made facilities!

It is a good outlet full of high fashion brands, sport brands and household big names. It's a bit far from the city, getting here isn't exactly straight forward nor easy. But if you have some targets and ideas in mind, and also have done your homework, you will be able to find some good bargains here. I certainly enjoyed shopping here and was very happy with what I bought. The outlet is particularly beautiful at night when it's lit up.

The food court at Gloria Outlet is very convenient, with many choices and the food quality is quite consistent. The cost ranges from over 150TWD to ~400TWD. The restrooms are really good: there are children's rooms, family rooms, and men's and women's rooms.

🎃 Halloween is here — come and take a pic! 😄 No vegetarian food around, only some sweet treats like drinks or douhua (tofu pudding). If you’re vegan, you can grab a vegan burger next to the MRT exit. 🍔✨

This is a fairly new mall and it's just like the ones back in California! The prices are a bit higher than elsewhere but I think they're targeting international travelers as it's right next to the Taoyuan High Speed Rail station and let close to the Taoyuan international airport.

Huge factory outlet prepare at least 3-4 hours to get through all the shops. Deals over the weekend and seasonal events are better compared to weekdays deals. Save up to 10% more. Lots of semi luxury brands nad serveral luxury brands, they also offer food court and restaurants across the outlets in various spots.

Gloria Outlets is a new outlet recently opened in Taiwan comparing to the other outlet, this outlet is far away from the city center, but offers great discount. It is only a few train rights away from the main airport of Taiwan, I recommend coming during early morning to late afternoon, so there will be less people overall a very great visit.

Always an excitement just thinking of shopping in this mall Got many stores that covers all spending budget range, or no budgets and go crazy Like most premium outlets, store are well categorized and layout, transportation wise convenient no matter which direction you’re coming from It is a must go on every trip to Taiwan 🇹🇼

less people during weekday still have traffic on this alley. Shops open about 60-70% if you love to do photo weekday is a lot easier to het great shots

Kind of a side trip for a day if you’re visiting the greater Taipei Many historical buildings, houses and temples that connects the township, full of nostalgic vibes and some photogenic scenes that offers great selfies Again, either taking a bus tour to visit or a cute little commuter train would be a nice way to get to Sanxia old street

Charming tiny (Baroque style building street) though it looks a bit different to those in Europe. it will be perfect and safer if they close the street for pedestrians ONLY area during the busy days , to better appreciate it, try to avoid the weekends and bank holidays and don’t forget to visit the temple nearby.

It’s such a beautiful area. Great spot to capture historical architecture. Lots of fun shops and food to try and check out. It feels like a “night market” except it’s during the day. By 6ish, most of the shops are closed. We tried the famed “golden triangle” buns and they do not disappoint. Lots of flavors to choose from. So glad we came!

The place is nice and close to the temple that you can roam around after the temple to look for some souvenirs and foods as well. Highly recommended.

Sanxia old street with the temple and the street food is so nice in Taiwan ❤️. It's our culture and easy life here.

A nice historic street with beautiful old architecture and a range of stores. The local speciality is cow horn bread (think of a croissant shape but with a chewier harder bagel style bread). It’s nice that both sides of the street are well preserved and that the street is mostly pedestrianized. This is similar to many old streets in Taiwan, but it’s worth a visit due to it being next to a particularly interesting temple. Note: if driving you should find parking and walk to this area as it’s quite crowded.

A beautifully constructed temple in the middle of the Sanxia square. Almost every square inch of the building is adorned with amazing carving. It is one of the places one must visit if you are in the area. A great experience both visually and spiritually.

This temple is different from other Taiwanese temples because the structures are made differently. It is preserved as it was originally created. The temple is really gorgeous and cool!!! There is a flowing river in front! So view alsl great!!! There is a famous old street nearby ~ This place is famous for the new year😊 about big pig ........🤣

This is a tiny temple with very interesting carvings all over the temple. I was told that visitors have to pay a small fee to enter on the weekends, but otherwise it is free to wonder around. It’s definitely worth a few minutes to stop by and check out the carvings.

Amazing details on the architecture, pictures are not close to reality. If you are by the are please have a look, you will not regret it.

Sanxia Zushi Temple is a major center for Taiwan’s Qingshui Zushi folk religion. Its style differs from most other traditional temple architecture because its reconstruction was led by Li Mei-shu, a Taiwanese artist famous for his western paintings. As a professional artist, Li began the project that produced the breathtaking decoration of Sanxia Zushi Temple, which has earned the temple a reputation as a Hall of Eastern Art. The wood and stone carvings in the temple were crafted by renowned artisans in Taiwan based on the sketches of Li and other artists.

This is a beautiful temple! Love the astonishing details in their wood and stone carvings all over the entire temple, including the rooftop👍👍👍

Love this place... discover Taipei's culture beyond the beautiful picture and history of Senxia Temple.. a good place to spend time with your long layover in Taipei ❤

Interesting ceramic process and history of how it was evolved to modern days artistic pieces. With many interactive along the way to help you learn. A good place for a weekend family outing!

I'd recommend it, and here's why: Pros: - affordable tickets (80nt is less than $3USD!) - free self lockers for your items (just fill out a quick form so they know who to contact in case you forget your stuff) - informative exhibits + a couple interactive ones - gorgeous pieces - good air conditioning Cons: - not as close to the Old Street as you think 😅 If you can, you should definitely visit and see all the beauty in person!

I loved this museum and enjoyed the videos on the different ceramic techniques. Shame the 3rd floor wasn't open so there weren't as many contemporary objects as I would have hoped(probably if there were more in the shop than on display), and not sure the future of ceramics section really worked, however, it is a beautiful space and the library is a wonderful resource and I was very jealous of whoever gets to use that. The staff there were very helpful and I will definitely come back. I think that reviewer who left two stars is very demanding and ungrateful of what they experienced.

NT80 entrance fee. 2 storeys of exhibits, mainly on the history of ceramics in Taiwan, how it started, how it was part of everyday life from being large containers for shipping purposes initially to daily life such as plates, bowls, food moulds to spiritual needs (in terms of deity statues and temples) to decorative (tiles, window, vases) and even as medical equipment (to grind or boil medication) etc. L1 is a display of modern day glazing techniques. I like that they have the audio guide on Messenger, so it's free-of-charge, self service, on your own device. There are also hands-on workshop here to make your own pottery item but because it takes time to fire the product, you won't be able to bring it home with you immediately after the session. There's also a big park behind the museum where they've some ceramic pieces on display.

A quiet little local museum in this quiet town of Yingge Building itself is quite a sight, as well as the exhibition are interesting, learned a lot about ceramics, based on it is a symbolic business in the region …however there are lots of room for whoever is managing to improve Love the buddhism figurines, so cute

So much better that initially thought. So spacious well designed. Unfortunately not enough time to visit the garden, will do that next time!

A ceramics museum in Yingge, free entry for local New Taipei City citizens, NTWD$80 for tourists. About 15 minutes walk from Yingge Railway Station. Displaying the history of ceramics industry in Taiwan. Not crowded in weekdays, not all the area are opening. A garden which is free entrance just connecting the museum.
