Travel to Taiwan

Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall

The open spaces found at this giant memorial hall make it the ideal place to try out those new rollerblades, play badminton or just take an evening stroll. The fact that it is vehicle free just adds to its charm. Inside the many art galleries that highlight Taiwan's history, regularly hold exhibitions and events. This cultural venue is also the place to enjoy the changing of the guards, which is an incredible demonstration of military precision. Make sure you get a good viewing position for this grand event.

Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall

This memorial is dedicated to the memory of Chiang Kai-shek, the former president of the Republic of China. Built five years after the leader's death, the memorial remains one of Taipei's most remarkable monuments. An impressive bronze statue of Chiang seated in a chair can be found on the upper floor of the memorial, while a museum is located on the ground floor. The museum exhibits photos of the late president and some of his personal possessions.

Bubble Tea

Chihkan Tower

The Chihkan Tower is an outstanding place a beautiful display of architecture, the picture speaks for itself,  if you happens to be in Taichung you can't miss this scene who seems to be taken out of a fairy tale.

Martyrs' Shrine

This is a really interesting memorial in a leafy suburb of Taipei. Worth visiting for the changing of the guard, which happens roughly on the hour, in the mornings is a bit crowded. Not really a  place  for tourism but it might help you to be in touch with your inner peace ;)

Wenshan

Wenshan is a district of Taipei, home of the Taipei Zoo and many tea plantations. As you can imagine, a visit to the zoo is one of the many activities to do in this beautiful area, specially for the fact that animals are not confined to cages, but allowed to roam freely in open paddocks. Also you might want to check out the Jingmei Night Market, full of small street vendors and shops selling all kind of items, like various snack foods, clothes, and accessories.

National Palace Museum

The National Palace Museum is considered one of the top three museums in the world, it is located in Taipei, and displays permanent exhibits of the treasures from the dynasties of China. You will find very interesting artwork, collections, pieces and sculptures, famous all around the world.

Neihu

Neihu is a district of Taipei, famous for its IT industry and large shopping complexes. This industrial and modern atmosphere mixes with parks and mountains, dotted with temples and crisscrossed with hiking trails. Visit the Bishan Temple, the largest Taoist temple in Neihu, you can spend the night for a donation, and you will see some amazing views of Taipei.

Sun Moon Lake

Sun Moon Lake is located in the center of Taiwan.It is one of the most well known spots in Taiwan, and is a favourite stop on the tour bus circut.Many many tourists from Japan and China head here as well as locals.It is cooler in the summer then other areas of Taiwan. While it is considered to be one of Taiwans most treasured places, personally I would say if you are seeking to ... get away and see nature, this may not be the place for you. You may found it over crowded, a bit over developed and not my first choice of a place to visit in Taiwan. Weekends are packed.

Hualien Ocean Park

The Hualien Ocean Park has 8 theme zones, planned to show the ocean's secrets to its visitors, they are the Mariner's Cove, Discovery Island, Dolphin Lagoon, Main Street, Harbor Square, Brighton by the Sea, Underwater Kingdom, and  . Besides enjoying this amazing park in Hualien, you can also buy a lot of cute and "have to have" souvenirs, and eat some great food at the restaurants inside the park.
