Day-by-day itinerary
A day in the heart of Taipei's heritage and symbols
Your immersion in the Taiwanese capital begins at the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial, erected in honor of the former leader in the heart of a 25-hectare park. Among gardens and peaceful pools, discover the National Theatre and the National Concert Hall, two buildings of traditional architecture. The large esplanade that separates them is also a place of life appreciated by residents.
Continue to the National Palace Museum (closed every Monday), which houses an extensive collection of Chinese artworks and artifacts. A dive through several millennia of history and art.
In mid-afternoon, head to Taipei 101.
Explore shopping galleries and dining areas at Taipei 101, then head up to the observation deck on the 89th floor. From there, enjoy panoramic views of the metropolis, especially in the light of sunset.
End the day at Shilin night market. Sit at a shared table to taste local street food, between hot skewers and typical Taiwanese specialties.
Start your day early at the Longshan Temple to attend the morning chants and liturgies, around 8 a.m. Before your visit, stop at a popular local establishment in the neighborhood to enjoy a bowl of traditional rice soup (congee).
Built in 1738 by immigrants from mainland China, Longshan is Taipei's oldest sanctuary. Its name refers to the "Dragon Mountain" in Fujian, and the temple remains an important place in the local spiritual life. In the past, devotees prayed to Guanyin for their health before heading to the nearby "medicinal herbs alley" to purchase traditional remedies.
Continue your discovery towards the historic Dihua Street area.
To immerse yourself in old Taipei, stroll along this famous commercial thoroughfare and its stalls:
Remedies from Chinese pharmacopoeia;
Incense and religious items;
Aromatics and dehydrated goods;
Colorful fabrics and bamboo and wood crafts.
Walking through these alleyways, amid scents, textures and colors, allows you to discover the cultural heritage and living traditions of Taïwan.
