Taoyuan, Taiwan skyline: the 29 most iconic buildings and best views in Taoyuan

It's a street with old looking architecture. The district is known for their tofu products such as Douhua (silken tofu desert) and braised tofu. I arrived here around 7AM and most stalls are closed, they open around 9AM onwards.

Very unique culturally immersive district. We only visited Taipei for one day and came to this district via Uber. We are Americans. The food, people, and architecture was a great experience for the short time we were there.

Daxi has done a great job preserving the facades and old buildings. Definitely worth a visit for the small town atmosphere.

Come to see this old street with food and things you can buy. The scenery is nice too.

The street is still asleep before 11am. Lots of walking to see other views. It is nice and quiet.

We visited Daxi old street and had a great time walking around looking at the stores! But what stood out even more were the street performers. They had incredible energy and aura, clearly loving every moment of singing and performing for visitors. I truly hope they make it big.

Great little old town to go to...make sure to go on weekends because some store are not open on the weekdays

A fun place to bring your kids. Agree with many other reviews. The miniature world is a bit dated but it’s still appreciated, especially with the hot climate. Had no idea there was an actual amusement park inside where you have to take a train across. All the rides are free! They also have little kids rides (90cm to 110cm). Be warned, the water rides get you drenched (Requiring change of clothes drenched). You can buy a plastic rain cover set for 50NT. Didn’t try the food.

One park, two atmospheres. This theme consists of actually two different locations. One is their original park with miniature buildings, trains, yards and more. Main focus is Taiwan, Japan and China. Very well designed park with small trees like Japanese park. Also some moving elements like trains and airplanes. Although outdated, great to see! Then you can take the train to the other section of the park that is completely different. Walking to this section is another option when the queue is too long for the train. Takes about 15 minutes by foot. The second section is more like a Taiwan theme park with roller coasters, many slot machines, water park, and vendor selling lots of snacks. No clear focus on the miniatures world. It also have two small parks to introduce some European and American buildings, but it is clear to me that they spend significant less effort to make this stand out. No moving elements and less detail to the park itself. Don't get me wrong, still nice to walk around, but different feeling compared to first section of the park. What stood out that there were so many commercials from PEPSI, would be better to brand it to Window on Pepsi :). The branding changed btw some years ago to Window on World, but that has not everywhere (such as at the entrance) been updated. So in general, yes I enjoyed the park but the park clearly lacks focus: either focus on standard theme park or on miniature zed world. Price recommendation: 350 twd max.

This is a place that I have visited as a child more than 30 years ago and it was a nice nostalgic place to bring my kids to now. It was fun to explore the miniature worlds and find places I had seen when I was a child, not much has changed in a good way! Then we spent majority of the time since it was hot and humid at the water park area and indoor play area (playground, merry go round and dining). The water park was pretty vast and had many areas of play for different ages of kids. As foreign visitors, we did not know prior to going but it is required to wear swim caps so stock up before you go or you can purchase at their gift shop as well which we did for about $70NT - $120NT. There was plenty to keep small ones occupied for the day and they did not want to leave, great place for some water play in the hot humid summer. Also they have stroller rentals for reasonable prices which made the visit easier with small ones and toddlers. Highlights were the big water ride and train ride to the water park. We went on a summer week day which was not too crowded at all. Also, it’s not super easy to get to by public transportation, we took car service/taxi to get there.

充滿歡樂回憶的地方~~ We had such a wonderful time visiting the Miniature World theme park! My child was absolutely thrilled exploring all the beautifully detailed scenes, each one carefully designed and full of imagination. Since our visit was during the Halloween season, the park was decorated with festive pumpkins, lights, and spooky yet fun displays, adding an extra layer of excitement. It was a magical experience that created so many joyful memories for our family, and we’re already looking forward to visiting again.

An amazingly adorable place to visit! During my visit, there was a huge promotion for the ticket, made the visit even more worth it! If you have kids, definitely bring them over here. Lots of attractions to see and to experience. During summer time is better because they open their water park on July and August only. Keep in mind during these months the park can be crowded even on weekdays, and the sun shines so bright! So don't forget to pack water, sunscreen, and wear jackets if needed. Also don't forget to bring swimsuit and umbrella as well. The employees all are very friendly and cheerful, really recommended for a family visit, or even a date!

This theme park is amazing. It has operated for more than 20 years, but the miniatures, indoor/outdoor games are still managed very well. I like their miniatures of collections, they are awesome! It's also a nice place to play the bumped car, water coaster 🎢🌊

Service and viewpoint are ok Almost everywhere many people atleast wait 20-30 mints Almost all activities kid height needed to be 110cm Below height 110 cm kid have few actives

There are a lot of attraction in the region. One needs to drive to the old tea processing factory. It costs NT$100 per person entrance fee. It is nicely display with shelfs of tea related products at the entrance hall. One then enters the processing side of the display with photos, history, and old machines. One could also watch a short video of the place. We visited the place in the last day of 2020, a bit cold and drizzling afternoon, not too many visitors. The place was quit and nice to walk around. The entrance fee could also be used to purchase cash equivalent of merchandise. It is a nice place to visit.

A quiet place to understand the history of the tea factory, also the culture behind. Very interesting and vintage vibe. Nice to get some IG photos here. Must be careful, there are many small black mosquitoes during summer time!

If you have never visited the tea factory, you would probably miss to make a turn into the lane. Admission tickets can be used as vouchers in the shops inside. It is a great place to feel the magic of light and time. I must say, the tea egg in the cafe really amazed me. Strongly recommended!

I wouldn't particularly recommend a visit to this tea factory. While it does offer some insights into tea-making processes and a glimpse into the history, along with a chance to view the old machinery, the 150 NTD (~5 USD) ticket price feels somewhat excessive. The factory doesn't offer an extensive array of things to explore or see. If you're eager to delve deeper into the world of tea, I'd strongly suggest considering the one near Sun Moon Lake (free entrance); it offers a far more enriching experience. As for the ticket, they do allow you to redeem 100 NTD for purchasing souvenirs, but even with this benefit, I still find it somewhat overpriced, given the rates of the souvenirs available.

Admission is 100NTD but you can use it towards any purchase inside the factory. It’s a pretty cool and Instagram-worthy tea factory. There are a lot of tea selections if you’re into that. It gets pretty packed on the weekends and parking is very limited.

It's basically a museum... A little part of Darjeeling in Taiwan...😁 #teafactory Fun fact: the architectural style of the factory is actually based on the tea factories of Darjeeling and a mixture of Japanese and Taiwanese traditions... Ticket price is 100ntd, which includes a 100ntd cash voucher that can be used to purchase tea or other gift items. A nice place to know about the tea culture and traditions in Taiwan..good place to visit for a short weekend trip #taiwan #daxi #tea #Darjeeling #hometown

It's a nice place with historical ambience. The orientation perfectly bring the audience back to the old days. Highly recommend to listen there introduction of this factory.

Once accessible, this was the dignified resting place of Chiang Kai-shek, the great statesman who pivoted China onto the UN Security Council and steered an ancient nation away from a century of humiliation. Sadly, senseless vandalism has forced the closure of the mausoleum's interior to the public.

If yoy visit taipie dont forget to explore this place

This is a combination garden park and memorial to Chiang-kai Shek. The garden has running stream and pond (inhabited by black & white geese). Chiang’s mausoleum is also here. There are regularly scheduled changing of the guards. There are many statues of Chiang and a few statues of Sun Yat-sen. My friend told me the statutes of both Sun (father of the Republic of China) and Chiang were moved here because most Taiwanese did not want these statues in their local cities, towns, schools, … I thought Sun and the Nationalists represented China’s attempt to create representative government with a republican structure. But that is not how the Taiwanese people see it. One thing is true. Taiwan has representative government now which means something was accomplished. The Nationalists were voted out. Another political party was voted in. On mainland China no one got a vote. As an American I think government by the people, for the people, & of the people is very difficult. But the other choice is a step backward. The people of Europe fought from 1789 to 1945 to achieve government of the people. The road was bloody, but freedom is not free. 1-2 countries in Far East Asia have achieved democracy. At least I hope so.

A beautiful place to walk and enjoy the scenery. A must destination for those who have studied the history of WW 2. I came to pay my respects to this interesting and incredible man 🙏

Beautiful tribute to the first President of Taiwan. Sad we weren't able to pay respect to Chiang Kai-Shek. The mausoleum was sealed off from public view due to an irate national who desecrated the memorial on February 28, 2018. No matter the political views, should not act out on a founders grave site. That's low.

Mausoleum with history of Taiwan and beautiful greenish surrounding. Mausoleum is well connected to public transportation from Taoyuan station. Mausoleum has beautiful ponds with lots of duck and surrounded by beautiful art works and mountains. Guard changing activity is the one of attraction of the park.

Nice to look at from the outside, but I don't think you can enter. It's interesting to see this mausoleum in the beautiful surroundings and the statue park right next door. Come there for the hourly changing of the guard!

Enjoyed the sound of the waterfalls - beautiful place to visit. Only very few people were there, basically had the place to myself. The Skywalk is part of a park with more waterfalls and bridges. Very relaxing and fun to walk through it.

Xiowulai Skywalk – A Must-Visit! This glass walkway offers a thrilling experience with stunning canyon and waterfall views. The engineering is impressive, safety is solid, and the surrounding hiking trails add to the adventure. Highly recommended for thrill-seekers and nature lovers! #googlelocalguide #1vtoledo #localseo

A very family friendly experience (as long as you don’t have a fear of heights). The water flows were quite small when we visited and so none of the waterfalls were at their most spectacular. The suspension bridge is well anchored and solidly constructed. There were few people when we visited so we could linger and enjoy the views. The skywalk is a bit of an anticlimax but is no doubt more dramatic after rain. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Soothing and easy nature walk with several hanging suspension bridges. 50 ntd per ticket. Few cafes and drinks are available in the park. Water park is sometimes closed

Good place for a one day hike. The trail is simple and the scenery is good. The glass sky walk is a must visit. But, if went during poplar hours, it might have a long line up. There are buses going from city directly to this place, it's very convenient for non driving tourists. If drive a car, the parking is very limited, around 30 spaces, with some private ones.

Amazing day trip from Taipei (easy 1.5h drive). The skywalk and the suspension & rope bridges, and little walking tracks were awesome. Great views, lovely waterfalls and beautiful way to enjoy some nature. Highly recommend.

The waterfall is good but the place doesn't have a proper motor Cycles parking.if it is a weekend better keep that in mind. Many treks and site seeing surrounding the area. A nice lookout for a day trip and fun with family and friends

Nice place with an easy walk up there. However, there are no longer bats after it was discovered by the humans. Parking is available at the entrance of the ~10min trail, we paid 50NTD.

A beautiful spot to visit, but it is an overhanging rock, not a real cave so 3* only.

Where’s the bats??? 😆 I see more bats at the park/playground. It was a fun little hike and nice photo opportunity.

Love it ! Free waterfall trail. Short beautiful trail to a pretty waterfall and cave. Just really wet and slippery. Slope maybe tough for elderly.

Mellow cool water. Paved path with some elevation gain. Clean air. An easy getaway. @sway.floats collaboration

I recently visited the Sanmin Bat Cave that left me with mixed feelings. The cave itself was impressive, with stunning geological features that were truly awe-inspiring. However, my experience was dampened by a few factors that made the trip less than perfect. Firstly, parking near the entrance was limited to just 10 spots, which meant that finding a spot was a real challenge. Additionally, the fee for parking was taken by an elderly man in a yellow vest, which was a bit confusing at first. However, the fee was reasonable at 100 NT for the entire stay. When I retuneded later in the day the parking attendant was not easily found and there were plenty of open spaces. One major drawback of the cave was the absence of bats. This was likely due to excessive tourism, which disrupted the local ecology. As a result, the cave felt a bit lifeless and lacked the natural ambiance that I had been hoping for. On the other hand, the accessible parts of the cave were still enchanting, especially for children and Instagram influencers. A steady stream of water sprinkled from the top of the cave to the viewing platform, creating a picturesque and serene atmosphere. One downside to visiting this attraction was the crowds. Especially on public holidays, the place was teeming with visitors, which made it hard to fully appreciate the cave's beauty. If you do decide to visit, be prepared to face a lot of people and take your time to navigate through the crowds. Overall, while the cave itself was impressive, the other factors detracted from the experience. If you're a fan of geological wonders or looking for a fun day out with your family, this attraction may be worth checking out. However, be prepared for the limited parking, absence of bats, and the crowds.

It's good to visit if you want to enjoy nature, although it can be full of people. There is not much place to park. Can't play in the water, so it's not really that fun.

Seems like a cool place.

A story house that tells the story of the craftsman and displays their products

good

Nice museum, worth a visit

Ok

Good wooden sculptures.

Awesome

Beautiful place inside and out. This is a must visit. There are many angles to explore this building so make sure you walk around. We came on a rainy Sunday afternoon and it wasn’t too crowded.

I have a lovely day at Beitou Library. Its worth your visit every single minute. Just 50-60 mins from Taipei citi centre, you can easily catch public transport to here. I love the Library most because of its stunning and eco-friendly architect. You can spend whole day here just read your book and chill for the weekend.

Walking back from our hotspring soak we ran into this beautiful library. It’s has a balcony area where people were sitting outside reading. I thought it was a very beautiful building.

Very beautiful library with historical architecture design. Many locals visit there to read and study. It also has kids level. The bookshelves has adjust the height according so the kids can reach their books easily. They also have a special equipment to disinfect the books🫶

The architecture is stunning – the wooden design blends beautifully with the surrounding greenery, giving the whole place a warm and inviting feel. The environment is so peaceful and calm, making it a perfect spot to read, relax, or even get some work done. A real gem in Taipei and worth a visit whether you’re into books, need a quiet place to work, or just love beautiful and serene spaces.

Quiet and great atmosphere was recommended to from a friend, and has a selection of English books too with benches and tables. Even has an outdoor area!

Love the architecture and how the structure blends with nature. It is so lovely and relaxing walking arouns the area.

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.❤

The Xinbeitou MRT station provides convenient access to the area's renowned hot springs and Thermal Valley. Visitors should note that attractions like the Thermal Valley typically close at 5:00 PM and are also closed on Mondays. It is advisable to plan your visit accordingly to ensure you have enough time. On my return trip, I was delighted to see the popular Taipei mascot, Bravo the Bear, inside the train—a charming detail that added to the experience. Overall, Xinbeitou is a must-visit destination, offering a rewarding opportunity to witness the powerful natural forces at work. The geothermal landscape is a beautiful testament to God's almighty power, and it brought this verse to mind: Jeremiah 32:17 "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."

Xin Beitou Metro Station 10 minutes walk to the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, also a 30 minutes drive to Yangmingshan Mountain, it has many hot spring facilities especially during winter

From this train station, you can go to Beitou hot springs or the museum. All destinations are within walking distance.

Natural onsen to pamper you in this area. The best ones I suppose are all up on the mountain. All are pretty good actually. The smell of sulphur is strong as you stroll along.

The Beto transit line was very cool they did a great job capturing the history and culture of the place it’s fascinating that they talk a little about the original tribes of the area. And the culture of soaking and enjoying the Hot Springs. It’s a very cool train the one we rode on was themed and had soaking tubs and lots of nature incorporated in the imagery. But there are some trains that do not have this in our normal 🚂

好漂亮的捷運站，不但很方便也是很乾淨！又好看的藝術！This station is huge, love it.. Good shops around too... The river has lot hotsprings nearby, I recomment the public one, totally cheap and worth it. This is a romantic place for a walk...

The branch train is really very safe to ride, because, you definitely can arrive faster with YouBike ride from Beitou station. Nonetheless, since I have never rode this branch line before, I decided to go with it. When it arrived, the outside looked pretty dark, so the inside. The floor was dark red. But it was decorated significantly, there were leaflets, offered in a few languages. You need time to stroll, to see, and to read. That's why it rolled so slowly.

This is my least favorite road venue of the five opposing venues (plus Taipei Dome). The amount of the space in the concourse is simply too narrow. Promotions aren't explained clearly and if you are in rows from 14 to about 20, your view of the stage is obstructed. Taoyuan, you can do better than this. About the best part of the experience is the host fans, but that is true at all road venues. Also has good food, so the score gets a bit of a bump up for that.

Back again for another Mayday (五月天) concert. Despite the interior looking old, the stadium design was great for the concert. It's also close to Taoyuan Sports Park Station and Global Mall Taoyuan.

Conveniently located within walking distance of the A19 station of the AirPort Express / Taoyuan MRT. The stadium is clean and modern, with various dining options available during the entire game. The home field atmosphere is excellent too! As someone who traveled from abroad and finally had the chance to watch a Rakuten Monkeys’ home game in person, I had no issue navigating through the public transportation from Taipei to Taoyuan.

Birthday wish list and one of the buckets listed, watched a baseball game in Taiwan Very happy and blessed be able to watch my first baseball game in Taiwan with family What an exciting experience, doing the home team batting, the fans does not stop cheering, dancing, they will keep dancing with the cheerleaders until all three outs, unbelievable experience So much fun. High energy! Players have their own songs and cheer routines, the amazing part was the fans even little kids cheered enthusiastically with the routines and only sat when the opposing team was batting. It’s quite a experience for all of us.

Great stadium, great game (monkeys vs brothers). Fans and kids enjoy the game by dancing and cheering. Food choices are available on stalls. Spacious parking area. Bonus fireworks show if Lamigo Monkey wins!

We were invited to see the baseball match between Monkeys and Brothers sponsored by Kawasaki! Rakuten sponsored team coach took us directly to the field to see it closely! Awesome experience and was able to take some nice pictures to share them with ya!

So much fun! Great energy from the crowd. As an international visitor, I was treated so kindly and I really appreciate everyone I met. Go see some baseball! ⚾️

Nice park, wish it wasn't so hot so that we couldn't really enjoy the park. We only walked through the park quickly to go to the library as it was so hot. But it is beautiful with several nice features and lots of trees. You can see that there's also a hot springs museum in the park, but it wasn't open the day we were in town, so we couldn't go. Even the park bathrooms across from the library were built with the Japanese style architecture that's very appealing, the same as the library. We also liked all the trees, plants, the pond with the lotus flowers, and even the insects we saw there.

Beautiful park with thermal springs. Picturesque with lots of hot spring hotels and places to see. Suggest coming in the week cause it gets very busy at weekend a

It's a very nice park to walk around. The layout is beautiful with an arch bridge and some stylish buildings. It's well maintained. There are beautiful lily and lotous ponds. Would recommend.

I always go her to walk sight seeing little bit hiking this a good place where u can sit down and relax

Cute place! Make sure you get there early as most shops close when it hits around 5pm.

Very relaxing park at the city center. There are a few bridges and ponds with lotus flowers. It's a nice place to unwind with food from the near by shops. The city library is in one corner. The library is another great place to sit in air conditioning before enjoying the rest of the park.

A park with the green building library. Great to spend some time in the such peaceful place.

Small but beautiful old street. Beautiful heritage buildings and restaurants. Good place for a bike ride around this place.

Small village with short path towards the temple square, with historical flair well preserved and lined with local Hakka eateries such as local meals and desserts. Probably spend about 30 min to tour around, an hour if sitting down to eat.

It is a pretty mini size of traditional street, maybe just has 100 or 120 meters long and you can stay here for 10-15 minutes for taking rest

rather tiny gathering of shops and the temple...and that was abt it. Pretty serene and secluded, the paths around the temple lead to rice fields that are good for photo ops though

Nice little old street. Worth of looking around to see the rice fields.

It is a hidden treasure but quite a small high street and limited stores.

It’s a quite short old street. 5 mins you can finish it. But I think it’s more closed to the original street. You can find food stands here.

It feels like I have experienced Japan by coming to this Shrine. The architectural details of the structure is in perfect shape. Quiet and peaceful

Elegant architecture with nice and clean environment. Indeed the best-preserved shrine outside of Japan.

The shrine was nice and well maintained. Park is beautiful. Famous bean curd was good. But there's nothing much to do here. A long trip to get here but visit can be finished within 20 minutes. Too many steps. Not suitable for old pple and young kids if u dun drive.

Very beautiful Japanese style of building. Many people come here to take a photo. In front of it have market on weekends. Some particular time have guide to tell you the story of here. Easy to park at here. Good place to relax and chill.

A very cool place to visit in Taoyuan, the japanese atmosphere the place has is really unique, and the temple itself is an experience as well. During my visit on the weekend, they have a small bazaar that sells a lot of interesting items, and a good onigiri place too. They also sell a tofu pudding that’s really refreshing during the hot summer days.

Im so amazed in this place in the first i didnt expect anything in this place because this is not trending but when i been there yesterday its historical and we enjoy staying there even though its a little things to do there but the place is so clean will maintain and you can feel the culture of japan.

An interesting place to visit as it is one of the best kept Shinto style shrines outside of Japan. The architecture is magnificent and the buildings neatly restored. You can write wishes (especially couples) on little pieces of wood and hang then to ensure they come true 😉. Parking is a challenge so prepare to walk a bit. As it is not a very big place, it can become crowded quickly. A nice location to include in a day trip to Taoyuan.

Nice station, with nice ticket machines and it's easy to navigate. I only take a star off for having homeless people living in the underpass making it feel less safe

Hsinchu Railway station, a main railway station in Hsinchu, a busy station

The Hsinchu Train Station. A subway connects the front and the rear stations. One can also access the subway at the Platform #5. Very convenient!

The architecture is interesting to see built in Japan colonial period. Trains to Liujia station is only 4 car,go slowly,making relax&forget our busy days.

the atmospher is strikingly pleasing that you'll always smile seeing your love one arive at this kind of busy place

Very nice looking from the outside, it could be better if they remove the ugly ceiling inside and reveal the original ceiling.

Built during Japanese rule (1895-1945), this train station is an excellent historical site. Although the amount of homeless people outside is concerning though...

A great place for a walk — a wide bridge made just for pedestrians.

Daxi Bridge (大溪橋) is beautiful to look at, even from a distance. The view of the bridge with the river is stunning, especially with the surrounding scenery. Although I didn’t walk on the bridge, it’s definitely worth seeing from afar. A lovely spot for photos and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere!

Beautiful Daxi Bridge. Wide and easy space as for human traffic. Very popular with locals.

A very relaxing place to be at. Slow stroll across and back.

A pedestrian bridge that connects Daxi Old Street with an accessible elevator. Provides a good scenic view of the river and surrounding areas. Fairly unique architectural decorations that span the length.

The bridge is located in Daxi district of Taoyuan and right behind the old streets area. It lies peacefully on Dahan river and shows different flavors between day and night. The decorated lights on the bridge will be turned on at 17 to 21 on weekends. It is waiting for your appreciation.

This is the best Cinery in countryside of Taiwan it’s a must visit spot here During weekend there are many people so make sure you come here during weekday

Very small,but highly recommendable for kids.

This is a firefighting building established during Japanese era. Now it's still a firefighting office. However, majority of its space is now occupied by the city sponsored museum. It's be children friendly and educational. It includes fire engine, clothes you can put on to feel and take pictures. There are many facility you can experience, such as smoke room / CPR ... And it's totally free. Kids can also enjoy drawing and receive a small free souvenir afterwards.

A kids oriented fire department museum introducing it's history and fun interactive activities such as picture coloring, kiddie cars, firefighter costumes for kids to wear and various picture taking sceneries. There's also a firefighting game by using firehoses spraying water to target the fire An antique fire truck is on display. On the outside there's a working hand pump well for kids draw water out. Definitely a place for parents to take kids for a bit of fun and learning about firefighting.

Some exhibitions are interesting in the museum and there is no entrance fee so it's worth to visit. However if you expect to see something modern you will be disappointed since the space is out dated and needed renovations.

Wow. This is a horrible museum. There are almost no exhibits open, and what there is is old and dated. So many staff members in and out being paid on the clock for doing absolutely nothing. So is this what tax money is going towards? Great job, government.

Staff was super friendly and although we weren’t expecting much I’d say it was still a bit lackluster. Seen much better municipal government/civil museums elsewhere

Historical Fire station built during the Japanese occupation, now turned into a Museum Centrally located Small but very educational for kids

gemstones and fossils, i think it kinda cool but just a bit short experience anw 👍🏿

The museum is very interesting and complete. Its content is appropriate for all ages and tastes. Thanks so much to Delia, for the excellent explanations in English and guidance. At the end of the tour we were treated with milk tea, cookies and a lovely souvenir. I highly recommend it!

A great place to do fossil cleaning , the staff are also nice

We took a tour with Delia, she is very kind and helpful. The collections of fossils, minerals and art are well worth a visit. We hope to come back and do a hands on class!

A comprehensive guided tour was given. Kids enjoyed the gem panning activity which requires pre-booking. Afternoon tea was served.

It is a very interesting museum, full of gems and many other stones formed in the jurassic ages. It's worth a visit, very nice!

Delia gave me a great tour of the museum. She is very knowledgeable and engaging. This museum is highly recommend for anyone who is visiting Taoyaun.

Nice place to spend your holiday or your weekend. Need to pay for the entrance fee, for an adult 200 NTD, and the kids below 5 years old free entrance. Bring some picnic mat you can have a picnic inside the PUSHIN RANCH. There a lot of animals you can see like Iguana, snake, capybara, alpaca, goat, cow, sheep, kanggaroo, chicken, peacock, rabbit, and etc.

Lots of fun for toddlers- my daughter loved the cabybaras, but petted all the animals she could reach! Plus you can get a coffee and ice cream there. The staff was super friendly and there were some cute activities throughout the day, like cow milking:).

They have everything which I was looking for. Rented a transport to travel within. Can be optional as the place is not that big. Feeding available: Capybaras, goats, llama, horse. Animal racing available: Piglets, goats. Amusement park: Carousel 🎠 , arcade, kid rides Animal experience: Cow milking Food: Hotpot, Udon available.

Super recommended to everyone! Even better than Taipei zoo because of the great interactive experiences! Watched the pigs and goat race each other and even milked the cows! They also allow you to buy food to feed the animals! Super cool and first time getting so close to alpaca, capybara, goat, pigs, karangoons and many more! Super cute and entertaining!!

The place is really big and nice however, I think they can take better care of the animals and their habitats. They have nice activities you can enjoy and a lot of spots to take pictures, try to come with good company (not like me).

Public transportation is estimated every 40-50mins for bus722. There are 2 engagements slot, one in the Morning (10am) and one in the afternoon (3pm). Afternoon may be a little hot for toddlers. If traveling without kids, recommend to arrive around 1pm. Tickets 🎫 does not include the food snacks, will need to pay NT50 per pax. After which you will go to a small confine space to get up close to animals, followed by a special race event of pigs/goat where lucky winner able to get a free ice cream. Few reptiles to view before entering the confined space. After that can take a rest and enjoy the cafeteria before playing the race event. All can be done within 2 to 3 hours. There is alot of other space to explore in the farm but without animals interaction. You may want to rent ATV to travel around the farm if you like.

Quite a nice ranch to visit. The highlight for us with young kids was that they were able to feed the animals, like capybaras, goats, alpacas, etc. Happy to go in during the milking time too at 3pm which was great!

It's worth a visit if you're in the area, but we weren't able to climb up to the lighthouse to enjoy the view, which should be nice with the coast so close. Nevertheless, the park around is quiet and enjoyable. There are public toilets. It seems possible to reach the beach on foot, but you have to pass under the 61 expressway.

The bridge on the east side is closed, but the area is accessible by car from the west with parking for 10 or so vehicles. Note that the road coming from the north has a very narrow section. There are public toilets and you can take a short walk in the area around the lighthouse with signage explaining some of the background. Worth a stop if it's on your way.

Very nice. Worth visiting if you close by. Pleasant surroundings with a well laid out park. Proper toilet facilities too. And the seashore is just a minute walk. You can see the small Kuanyin river joining the sea We couldn't climb up the Light house as it was closed. The views around are still good

Right off the West Coast Expressway 61 (and Bike Island Route 1-1), its easy to ride past without spotting it if you're not paying attention. Its closed on Mondays (the day I visited) but its still possible to get close enough to take some nice photos.

It is under reconstruction till 23rd August 2021 but it is well connected to public transportation, cleaned and greenish surroundings, historical place, and beautiful views from the lighthouse. On the way to the beach.

Fantastic to view above, you can smell a fresh air and the sorounding are good and beautiful.

It's beautiful ❤️ place , Good for couples.

I came here back in Dec 2023 to see Jeremy Lin and the New Taipei Kings play against the Taoyuan Pilots in the P+ League. Coming from Taipei, the stadium was easy to get to by bus. There was a good amount of food choices. Tickets to sit near the court was actually not too expensive. If you’re looking to see Jeremy Lin play before he retires and he happens to be playing the Pilots, I would recommend you get a ticket!

First time I watched concert in Taiwan. Not far from Taoyuan station by walk around 15-20 mins.

It's a wonderful feeling we have, but when the presentation ends,people goes out and the way out of arena was only one so the people got stranded on that time,so we just wait for our turn to go out.

Slightly dated stadium but was awesome seeing Ed Sheeran, acoustics sounded great. Highly recommend for more shows and concerts.

Arena is a bit old but overall is decent. Had a great time watching P.League!

Open for public. It is open 5 a.m to 10 p.m

Attended my first music concert in taiwan. it was Ed Sheeran's first concert in taiwan as well. i had lots of fun and the atmosphere is awesome. and sitting on the top make more sense there. cuz it costed less and had way better view than those standing in the rock zone(its more expensive)

An eight floor enormous vibrant library for ANYONE! Offers a variety of book collections in multiple languages and quite studying/working areas. There are even some PCs for visitors to use and DVDs to rent, along with a bookstore on the first floor. There’s also some outdoor walking areas with stands and fairs! The best place to go to on weekends afternoon with family, friends, or alone for a tranquil time!

Why is the library getting warmer and warmer (around 26 to 27 degree) even though more people are visiting every day due to the extremely hot weather? I strongly believe that the library is NOT getting warmer beause of more people's visitation, but increased the AC temp. Because of the warm temp., the library including the elevators and bathrooms, are stinky with the smells of sweat. Lots of people are walking around, looking for a cool place to relax and read books, not because of the lack of seats or tables, but the lack of cool places. I frequently see bugs, even on the 7th floor. I bet that Carrefour is much cooler to stay than the library. Lots of cushion chairs are smelly with people's sweat, too. I frequently see that people clean their cushion chairs with wipes and alcohol sprays before they sit. I am wondering if there is even any standard for temeprature regulation in the library. During the winter, it was so cold, around 21 to 22 celcius while it is now around 26 to 27 during summer.

One of the best libraries I've ever been to~ I learned to appreciate how the Taiwanese value education. Instead of going to malls or playing outdoors on weekends, many Taiwanese go to the library with their family. Plus, this library is really grand and beautiful. It encourages people to come and enjoy reading in a cozy environment.

I love the amount of options of books they have. The library is newly built so the interior is gorgeous and very modern. I liked that the place was kept super quiet and it had manu different rooms available, like classrooms and study rooms. I liked that there was a coffee shop downstairs too. Everything was really amazing and it is probably one of the best libraries I've been to!

The public library is a good place for meet up since they have restaurant and cafe. In addition, the exterior design is well designed and has its unique elements differ from others. You can also refill the water and use the facilities such as bathroom and reading tables for either study or work.

Love, love, love the amount & variety of books on the shelves / spacious reading areas / interactive corners💜 There are many floors to explore. It’s one of the top libraries that I would recommend. There are also some decent restaurants around it if you’d like to go and grab a bite between your visit.

Perhaps one of the most beautiful libraries in Taiwan, it has a nice layout, adequate places for students to sit and study, and has a nice public square to walk around on the outside. The library also has a selection of English books on the 6th floor.

Kids have fun making Pizza and doing some painting. The staff is very good teaching kids how to make Pizza and the Pizza is good too. You can enjoy 2~3 hours at this place.

Good place for a field trip.

Great care and preparation went into the design of the farm. One gets a wonderful "bathed in the woods" feeling while there. The personnel are cordial and clear in giving instructions for each activity.

nice place for kid where they can interact with nature

Awesome place! Plenty of animals and interesting activities for all ages. Near Daxi old street, great place for a one day trip.

Leisure 🌻

Under maintained , nothing much to see or do. May be I am too old a "child".

Seems I had a different experience to most because of one major issue. Firstly, the general facilities & staff are excellent - staff are friendly & helpful, slippers are provided, there's hi-tech toilets & high speed internet, ample storage options in the rooms, the place is very clean etc. Unfortunately the massive downside for me was the bed (mattress), which I found exceptionally stiff. I get this could be a cultural difference but this was next level for me. I actually stayed here 2 nights because of an important connection flight - the first night I had an average sleep but woke up with huge back pain (genuinely couldn't get out of bed for about 2 hours) and the second night I got about 90 minutes sleep total (probably some anxiety over how my back would feel again). Because feeling restful is such a crucial component of accommodation, I can only give 3 stars based on my personal experience.

Of course, but with careful consideration: 1. Each capsule in the multi-person room is equipped with a box to store valuables. 2. Each shared bathroom stall has shampoo, body wash, and waterproof lockers. 3. Tea brewed by hotel staff is peaceful.

Wow! Easy to access, inside the airport. Reasonably priced. Experience matched the advertised description. We experienced an overnight stay in clean spacious capsules, large and private enough for each person to really chill-out in. There's headspace when you sit up on bed. There's also space beside each bunk to store your things. Some capsules are up a short ladder of a few treads. A great place to stay if you need to catch a flight out from the airport the following day. Female and male dorms are separate as are the showers and toilets; all of these are accessible with your individual swipe key.

With a 20hr layover in TPE, CHO Stay offers a comfortable place to rest at great value. The hotel’s lobby is designed like a tea room which added a calm ambience. Upon checking in, you receive a sachet of oolong tea which I happily consumed after settling in. The receptionists were extremely helpful and explained house rules in English. I stayed in a top bunk solo capsule. It was clean and had high quality bedding. If you don’t like climbing (which I did a lot of), try asking for a bottom capsule when you’re reserving your room. I appreciated the amenities they provided in the shower room (body wash, shampoo, dryer, q-tips, etc). A perk for their free membership: large towel to use for your shower. Non-members only receive a face towel. Bring sleepwear because they don’t provide them. It was quite the journey finding this hotel from T2 departure gates. Head towards arrivals (foreigners need to fill out an online visa, QR code is provided). You exit on the first floor, then take an elevator to the third floor, then head to another elevator located on the far right side where it will take you to the fifth floor. If you’re arriving late, there’s a family mart with quick meals/snacks and open seating on the fifth floor.

The price is unbeatable with this location and service. The guests followed the rules and sorted their luggage in the hallway. Sadly, the restaurants nearby close very quickly. You can only rely on Family Mart at night and can’t access the observation deck. The hotel provides towels, a bag of tea samples, and a pair of sandals. You can also pick up free earplugs and eye masks from the entrance. There are Dyson hairdryers. The toilet seats are warm. The public shower room also has high-end shampoo and shower gel. The security is also guaranteed since you have to swipe the room card to each place. The only three things I would be concerned about are the hygiene of the sandals, the cleanliness of the public restrooms, and the difficulty of climbing up the capsule (at the corner). Sadly, I started with a pair of smelly sandals. Although I appreciated that they replaced them when requested, it was not a pleasant experience. I also noticed that there might not have been a cleaning service in the public area during your stay. It was not enjoyable in the morning since everyone used it. So, if you are concerned about this issue, I recommend using the toilets and shower room as soon as possible. Last, the ladder design is generally neat and safe, but not the one in the end. The ladder is so close to the wall, and a fire distinguisher is in the corner. With other guests' luggage, it was very challenging to go up and down.

Cannot recommend staying here MORE!!! so cute, little touches of amenities aka theybhad period hygiene products and a few other toiletries to use in the bathrooms, earplugs in case you forgot yours, the showers were clean and spacious with dry bags inside for your towel and clothing, they had bathroom tote baskets to use to carry your things, the bed was very comfy and the comforter was so fluffy! The staff was very welcoming and on top of cleanliness. The rooms were very quiet and relaxing. They give you a tea upon arrival that you can bring with you on your travels or they will make it for you. Highly recommend 10/10.

The capsule itself was comfortable and tall. The luggage packing limitation is a huge downside though. The rooms are not designed in a way where you can fix luggage. So you have to do it outside the hall. Considering most people are going on a flight or came from a flight. Making the packing experience better would count for a lot. I do not like that I can only fix my luggage in the far away lobby. Maybe rooms also need a bit more soundproofing. The hostel does not have a super comfortable vibe in the lobby and hallway but the bathrooms are good. Had dyson hairdryers too. And shampoo and soap smelled luxurious

Good new place in long tan.

Chill place, a street worth you to visit and find the joy in there

Good ambience but small place

Good place to visit. The staff are really nice. We went there a few minutes before it closes but the staff still let is in. The plase is really good. A lot of vintage collections. There are also tour guides and activities inside. Would recommend trying this place for a quick tour.

Zhongping Road in Zhongli, Taiwan, is a charming cobblestone-paved street rich with Southeast Asian influences, especially Vietnamese and Thai culture and cuisine. Nestled in this vibrant neighborhood is the Zhongping Road Story House, a beautifully preserved Japanese-era building that now serves as a local museum. Volunteers warmly share stories of the area’s colonial past and the diverse immigrant communities that shaped its character. From authentic pho and Thai curry to historical exhibits and cultural insights, this area offers a unique blend of flavors, history, and heritage that makes it a must-visit.

Interesting place to see the old Japanese house. It’s 2 family houses with a pig hoarding place and they shared one well. You can’t spend long time here. Just take a look like 10~15 mins.

perfect for day tour trip at zhongli. at the time they offer diy silk screen bag printing for 200nt . thank you for assisting us. 😍

It is very solemn.the thing inside can remember us an old days..love it to be back and see again

Very beautiful well kept piece of history. Staff was friendly and explained allot.

A constructive discussion with the staffs here - we can learn from each other what is happening in this world and, the most impressive topic, how to defend democracy, freedom and human rights, our most valuable assets.
