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. Between gardens and peaceful pools, discover the National Theater 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 towards the National Palace Museum (closed every Monday), which houses an important collection of Chinese artworks and artifacts. A dive through several millennia of history and art.
In mid-afternoon, head towards Taipei 101.
Explore the shopping galleries and dining areas of Taipei 101, then take the elevator up to the observation deck on the 89th floor. From there, enjoy the panoramic views over the metropolis, especially as the sun sets.
End your day at the Shilin Night Market. Sit at a shared table to taste local street food, including hot skewers and typical Taiwanese specialties.
Temples, Traditions and Tea Culture in Taipei
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 eatery 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, worshippers would pray to Guanyin for their health before heading to the nearby "medicinal herbs alley" to purchase traditional remedies.
